in the spring season for thinning
out the seedlings and in the fall
for harvesting the crop, Many at
tempts have beep made to devise
methods for reducing the amount
of hand labor needed and it now
appears that these efforts are bear
ing fruit. ,
The hand labour in the spring
has been indispensable because
sugar* beet seed does not come in
the form or a single germ. The
seed forms in balls with from two
to six

up in
cessful
breeders to develop single sugar
beet seeds. Recently the problem
has been attacked in a new
and with marked success. The
method calls for “shearing”
“segmenting” , the seed balls
passing them through a specially
constructed machine. The result is
that practically all of the
are reduced to single germ
thus eliminating clusters of
lings in the rows.
Hardly had this method
given a fair test when a further
development was made, namely,
pellettihg .-the segmented seed;
that is, enclosing the sepd germs
in pills. These pellets are round,
smooth, uniform in size and pro
vide valuable protection for the
seed' germ by incorporating certain
chemicals in the pelietting matei-
ial.
The important ingredients form

aides and feritUzer. Fungicides’
have the effect of destroying' in
jurious soil bacteria, smuts, moulds,
mildews and other harmful fungi
which ordinarily attack the roots
of the tiny seedlings and kill .Off
many of them. The ferilizer, al
though minute in quantity, has an
effect out of all proportion to the
amount used as measured by or
dinary standards of application.
The reason for this is because the
fertilizer js in such close
to the seed germ that the
are able to make instant
when the sprouts appear.
So far reaching is this new de
velopment of seed pejletting that
it is sure to revolutionize planting
methods of sugar beets. By using
an ordinary seed drill equipped
with simple precision-planting
vices the pelletted seed can
spaced at ,,any desired' interval
the rows and, protected by its
velope of fungicide as well as stimu
lated by its tiny dose of fertilizer,
almost 10’0% of the seedlings grow
and thrive.
Seed pelietting has only been
under experiment a little over a
year and has not yet reached its
final stage of development though
it can definitely be said to have
passed the experimental stage and
to be a practical success, Unques
tionably, its use will become de
servedly popular 'during the next
few years, and will eliminate the
ardous “stoop labour” formerly re
quired. Pelletted seed is economical
to use and orders have been placed
for a limited quantity for trial in
South Western Ontario in 1945. ,
