The Ontario Sugar Company, Limited, of Berlin, are holding a series of meet- ings iu different sections of the Province of Ontario, for the discussion of the methods of cultivation and value of the sugar beet crop, and the following meet- ings will be hold in this vicinity:-Wiug- ham Town Hall, February 23d; Blue - vale, Foresters' Hall, February 24th; Brussels Town Hall, February 25th; Ethel, Township Hall, February 2tith; all meetings at 2 o'clock p. m.

Following is a clipping from The Farmer's Sun. Toronto, of Fob 3• $205 FROM TWO ACRES OP SUG BEETS. Ono of the best sugar bee yields re- ported in South 0 dark) as obtained from the farm of Jo n D , near Myrtle. Mr. Duff planted w acres in beets, following barley, a with a spring appli- cation of 25 tons of manure to the acre. His beets averaged 15 8 per cent. of sugar and the returns were $205.32 less $46.70 for freight. and $4.50 for seed. There was a space of 27 inches between the rows, and the rows, and the beets were about eight inches apart. Mr. Duff thinks the season was particularly favor- able for good results from wide planting, and believes he would not have as good returns ie an average season, with plants so far apart. The land was foul with sow thistle when the beets were put, in but this is all gone now. "We cultivated ten times," said Mr. Duff, "and I believe that in each eultva- tion we earned $5 per day. I do not think there is any crap which would give me such returns as I have obtained from illy emmar beets." Mr. Duff is one of the many successful growers of sugar beets, who has been raising beets for the Ontario Sugar Com- pany for the past two years. What he has done, any good farmer can do. Do not fail to attend one of these meet- ings, and profit by the practical exper- ience of others. Marcus A.
