Question.— Plea*# tell rue something
•boot the cultivation of sugar bents, tlie
msthod. cost, preparation for market,
kind of soil SMtuhie, etc. How are the
factories in tilts oooritry succeeding ?
la the sugar of good quality aud is the
crop onn wllioh can he cultivated at the
south? How much do manufacturers
pay for them ?
Answer —A* vet the sugar beet in¬
dustry iu this country is in its infancy,
and w# have to depend on the experi
•uce of others for enlightenment on the
points on which yon request informa¬
tion. The following is from a man of
large experience both iu this country
and in Europe, aud what he says on
sugar beet culture is reliable and valu¬
able. He says tho soil should bo good.
Tha crop will not pay if planted on poor
ground, or on muck bind, or on land
Which has not good drainage, or if the
toil is not in a good state of cultivation.
The cost of raising an a re of beets is
too high for them to bo grown on poor
land. The success of this industry is in
the hands of the farmers and not in tho
hands of the manufacturers. No matter
how perfeot the machinery or how econ¬
omically a factory is mannged, if the
beets are brought to the factory not in
proper condition the expenses are
doubled and the farmer is docket), which
means loss of time, general discourage¬
ment and want of success to both man¬
ufacturer and planter. The beets when
delivered at the fuctorv should be cut
off fiat at the root of the leaves, so that
none of the green top is left. This is
absolutely necessary in order to make a
good staudurd of sugar. Every beet of
wbicb the green juice of the leaves is
mixed with the beet juice proper is an
obstacle to crrstalizing the sugar, and
•very drop of that green juice must be
eliminated before the white granulated
sugar can be manufactured All the
fertilising properties of the beets are
eontainml in the tope and the farmer
(seels with n doable loss If he carries
them to the factory instead of cutting
them off aud leaving them ott bis land.
He is docked 8 or 10 per cent at the fac¬
tory, and wastes the valuable fertilizing
properties of tho tup* which are thrown
away.
METHOD OF CDI.TIVATINO SOOAR 11EBT8
The rows should be 18 or 20 iuches
apart, tho plants thinned oat to stand
6 or tl inches in tho row. Do not wait
until the young beets are surrounded by
we«da, but cultivate with the hoe as
soon as the plants can tie snein. The
thinning should be doue ns soon as the
plants have two to foqr loaves. After
this keep the weeds aud grass down by
♦he horse hoe, cultivating often to
loosen the earth around the plants and
give air to the roots. As tha cultivation
fs very expensive no chance should be
neglected which will help to make as
large a crop as possible. If weeds and
grass are allowed to grow they will take
up the strength of the soil, which should
be used to make the beets. The rows
should not be further titan 20 inches
apart. If wider than this the beets will
be larger but will not yield as much iu

Grain Louse.
Question. —Wo have a email patch of
oats in Griffin that is being ruined by a
small green insect; we enclose sample of
them in letter. We called on Mr. Ivim
trough at the Experiment Station and
he asked us to write you in reference to
the matter and to send your man down
to investigate same. Any information
vou can give us will be highly ap- v
jp reo i a ted.
Answer. - The insect sent is tho
“Grain Louse. ” It lives by sucking the
sap of wheat, oats, etc., and thus in¬
juring and frequently killing the plant.
It appears thnA all the individuals of
tills family are females, and they pro
duce living young, beginning as soon as
adult, and conrfbning ' during life. No
male or egg-laying female of the “Grain
Ijcinse” has ever boon found. They
multiply with great rapidity and fre¬
quently do much damage. From ex
periiuent# that have been made it lias
been found that this post can be kept
under control by spraying the oats when
young with a strong decoction of tobacco
stems, or with kerosene emulsion and
water. „ 1st" ab ut 100 „ gallons to the ,
acre, with a spraying outfit. It has also
been rv^mmended to v.-A treshly slaked
lime with a litrlo carbolic acid, sown
broadcast on the infesretl oats or wheat,
Generally this insect post is worse on
the field when- o«rs or wheat follow
oats.—State Agricultural Department.

After the stalks aro shredded how is tho
fodder kept, and what is its feeding
value? Can it be fed to farm stock
without using any other ‘‘roughage,”
and is there anyYrouble in getting them
to ear it?
Answer.—A f^r the stalks are shred
ded the fodder may bo kept in the 1>arn
or any dry place, until needed for use,
taking care not to disturb the mass,
for no matter how dry it may
seem, there is at first sufficient moisture j
to cause a slight fermentation, and if
the fodder is disturbed during this for
mentation mould is apt to appear. The
feeding valuo of this fodder has been
shown by analysis to be greater than
cottonseed hulls and nearly equal to the
best quality of timothy hay. At the
Experiment Station farm in this state
this forage has been thoroughly tested,
It has been used there for weeks at a
time as tho only “roughage” to tho
manifest benofl' of the farm animals,
and they rat it readily. On the subject
of “Corn Stalk Hay,” we copy the fol
lowing from Bulletin No. 30 of the Goor

In Bulletin No, 80, already referred
to, the whole subject was discussed at
Bomp jjtmgth, showing bv experiments
modp, and by analysis that the value of
the naked stalks that pre generally left
ju the field, iff ter harvesting the ears,
shucks aud blafjps, amounts to fully one
sixth of total value of tho crop.
Bulletin Nq. 38, published last fall,
says further on this subject:
The mi station t iS . h#s just ........ finished shred
ding tho corn stalks from five acres of
corn. The crop gps 5 very muqh injured
by tljo extreme heat and drouth, and
the yield of grain was cut off at least 25
per cent. Tho corn was cut down jus*
above the surface of tho ground Aug.
23, and immediately shocked, placing
about {6Q stalks in each shock, and
tying tho top of each shock with twine.
No rain foil on the shocks and the ears
were husked out Oct. 3, and tho stalks
immediately run through the shredding
luachiue, being apjiarently perfectly dry.
The yield of the five acres was as follows: j
Shelled corn 156 bushels.
Shreddetl stalks, orstover.14,000 pounds,
This represents a yield per acre of 81

good timothy hay. In tho above total
yield of corn hay is included tho blades
and shucks, which are almost univer¬
sally saved and utilized by Georgia
farmers. But there are also included in
the 3,8(X> pounds of corn liay alxiut 1.800
P° uu< ^ s stalks, which are usually
pi'rmitted to remain on the ground and
noun tilized as food. This 1,300 pounds
represents the food loss for every 31
bushels of shelled corn. The com erbp
of Georgia, for convenience, may lie
stated at 31,000,(01 bushels—sometimes
i esSi often more. Then, at 1.300 pounds
of com hay, heretofore not saved, for

and worth at least $10 a ton. or a total

s q lbo commercial fertilizers used in
Georgia in one year! This may be con¬
sidered a remarkable statement, and it
will no doubt surprise many a fannci
who has net thought about it.

at longhth, because there is scarcely a
subject of more importance to tho farm

cultural Deportment,
Fertilizer For Corn.
Question. —What are the best propor
tions in a commercial fertilizer for corn,
and how, at what timo, and whal
amount would you apply it?
Answer.— All things considered ths
best fertilizer on our ordinary lands for
com should be in about the following
proportion. Cottonseed meal 1,000 lbs.,
acid phosphate 1,000 lbs. muriate pot
ash 60 lbs., or 200 lbs, of kainit may be
substituted for the muriate of potash,
On lands almost destitute of humus,
that is, which have cultivated and re
cultivated in clean crops, we would no!
venture to use more than two or three
hundred pounds to the acre, applied jus;
before or at planting time. The coni
crop, more perhaps than any other, is
dependent on a supply of moisture tot
its best development, and it has been
found that the direct application of com
mercial fertilizers does not result as well
as where these have been applied to a
previous crop, and provided the applica¬
tion be sufficiently heavy. If the forti
lizer has lieen broadcast, as for oats or
peas, the succeeding com crop is usually
very satisfactory, although fine crops of
coni are often made after a heavily fer
tilized cotton crop. As a rule, any for*
wula, which will analyze 7.00 per cont
phosphoric acid 1.30 per cent potash
and 3.40 per cent nitrogen, is snitod to
com.—State Agricultural Department.
