According to the grapevine

October 9. It is hoped that the
weather clears up for the har
vest, or the chains will be broken
and tempers will be frayed. It
could be a case of mud, mud!
mud!
While harvesting the beets
would be a good time to perhaps
be very analytical about crop
ping practices. Review very care
fully what preparations were
used to seed them. Where in your
rotation they seem to yield high
est. Did the late hoeing pay off?
Would it be dollar-wise to second
hoe? Was the planting date
right?
These factors and many others
will be more apparent at harvest
time and it would be wise to
make a list of certain do’s and
don’ts rather than trust to your
memory. Put this list in a place
where you will be most certain

Beets
to see it during the winter' and
spring in order to revise your
plans to make a greater net per
acre. One farmer we know has
drawn up a very careful chart
of his farm and to this is at
tached the past five years' crops
with approximate yields, rates of
fertilization and pertinent in
formation. To us this seemed one
of the 'best ideas to date. Is it
paying off? Without a doubt, He
claims (and any fool can see it)
that this information is so valu
able that he has increased his
income quite substantially. Think
it over!
Several things in regard to
sugar beet harvest are still neces
sary: (1) Labour — while some
farmers do their own, it might
pay just to check as to avail
ability of some help. (2)Lifting
—using your own puller—a new
set of points will make money;
if custom operator is going to do
it—make certain when he can
come. (3) Trucking—it would be
sound thinking to hire it if you
are more than seven or eight
miles from your scales, and do
not own a truck. (4) Liniment—
if you are going to do everything
yourself buy a bottle, you’ll need
it.
Good weather, good tonnage
and good luck fellows, I don’t
envy you at all, The only thing
I can see in beets is hard work.
DID YOU KNOW
Leaf analysis of sugar beets is
the latest test whether you have
made available the correct plant
food for top yield?
