THE BEET
SUGAR INDUSTRY
Planting of sugar1 beet seed
■usually begins in South Western
Ontario as early as the middle
of April. Seeding continues
through Miay and often ,well into
June. After the tiny seedlings
emerge from the ground and
have four leaves tihey should be
‘‘blocked and thinned”. This
means that but one iplant should
be left standing for each twelve
inches in the row, the rows
•usually being from twenty-two
to twenty-four inches apart.
Common method or thinning
is for the worker to go along a
row Of seedlings and, making
quick chops with a short-handled
hoe, cut out swaths leaving one
or more little plants between
each cut. If more than one are
left, the worker plucks out all
but one (preferably the largest)
by hand. Use of segmented seed,
well spaced, has almost eliminat
ed hand plucking, even permit
ting thinning to be done with a
long-handled hoe is some fields.
