It may mean ' March and early April planting in an early spring, but it means something else in a late spring like the present. In some years, like the present, when the lateness of spring delayed the growth of all plants . . . trees, shrubs, grasses, and perennials . . . beet yields have been higher than average. A late spring often makes it possible for most growers to plant early . . . early in the season, if not by the calendar. And that's what counts. In 1,938, 85 per cent of all beets grown for the company com-pany were planted after April 15, for a yield of 15.3 tons to the acre, the highest in recent years. Similar conditions condi-tions in 1941 resulted in a higher-than-average yield of 13.9 tons to the acre. The years 1939 and 1942, with early springs, and with nearly 50 per cent of the beets planted before April 15, produced below average yields of sugar beets. Early planting means planting at the earliest favor-nble favor-nble opportunity . . . when seedbed and weather are right. This year, early planting, for a great majority of growers in this district, means now ... or as soon as seedbed preparation can be fully completed. For most farmers seedbed preparation is now prac-v prac-v tically completed. An additional harrowing may be rec ommended, however, to prevent weed growth. In any event, proper procedure now is to get into the fields as soon ns field work can be properly done. Don't rush it. at the start. Then take time to make the best Beedbed possible ami plant the first favorable opportunity. K we do this we are taking advantage of the excellent soil moisture which the late season and recent storms i have provided . . . thus assuring quick germination and rapid growth in the warm days to follow, luit if we rush preparations and plant too wet, trying vainly to a l.ch up with the calendar, our beet crop will get a bad start, f'o take time to do it right. If history repeats itself, tbi", --ear could easily produce beets of the. highest yields 'v..'.WJl&lSiivffr 1 I ,, ., ...j-hil. i' "i i mi"-' m " "-IM " ' ' ; ' 'I i, 'A You can be a "sentinel of safety" by ", ', safeguarding America's food supply. , ' ' - ' r ; ' Avoid waste and use every foot of i' ,, x - A available ground for a Victory Garden. fAv '"' - ' I !
