Apples 'are,a hne crop and because of
the high price asked for apple barrels,

Sugar Beets.
Tba crop par excellence this season is
sugaK'brets. When the weather was so
*saint earlier in the season, dozen of
loads were to be seereckIten towards (be
G. T. R. stations nf Br rid. Mmes.
Hermon and Eget-k. In icinity of
the latter town 160 acres ars gitQ. The
yield ranges from tax tons to twentrtons
per acre, the latter yield bin from acre
patcbes.of rich ground, but shy Ong what
might be secured it greater care were
taken to cultivate and manure proaerly.
Mr. James Cowan, of Seaturth, is the
representative of the sugar companies in
South Huron and has been able to secure
growers to raise between 600 and 700
acres. The greatest drawback to the
growing of a large acreage is the great
scarcity of labor. This is partly overcome
by the employment of Belgians, who do
the thinning, hoeing and topping of the
crop for about 525 per acre. Th -ie men
and women work early and late and fre-
quently earn 510 a day. Some farmers
hire thee own help and go a ith them to
the field. In this way better work
doue. as the best plaits are left in thin-
ning and the hoeing is done to suit the
owner.
OM ALM'S Experienee.
One very successful . grower in Hay
township, Nelson Stanlake, follows this
plan with marked success. Last year his
yield of right acres gave him a profit of
5150 an acre, alter paying for hired .help,
and this year he believes his yield on ten
acres will be just as good per acre. He
puts in his drills twent y -eight inches apart
and thins out the plants w about six
inches apart. He believes in thorough
cultivation and as early as August this
year he was plowing and preparing for his
1921 crop. In next year's held be is pin-
ker/ in a large amount of tile draining in
land that some people think would get
along very well without.
This is the kind u( preaaration that
brings good results every time. One or
two farmers are still delivering beets and
tbey have certainly had a very disagree-
able time the past kw weeks. This year's ,
experience proves that thorough prepar-
ation
of the soil. early sowing, careful
and constant cultivation during the sum-
mer and early harvesting, pays well in
time and money.
The company's representative, Mr. Jas.
Cowan, of Seaforth, believes there is no,
finer section in the Province for the
growth of sugar beets than in South
Huron, in a tract stretching from four
miles north of Brucefield to Centralia.
For that matter it has been. a wel-known
fact .tor many years that the is "The,
Eldorado of the Province" for all verieties
of crops. Mr. Cowan contends that if the
growth ot itugai bets was made much •
more general than it is, then it could be
more economicalty.because alarger
number ot Belgians would keate here to
help with the necessary work. He is
looking fur a large acreage next year.
ity has ruined more men than
adversity but that kind ot ruin is go,
much•more delightful.'
