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.' oe— THE SIGNAL GODERICH, 01111.
