Show PLANT BEANS AND BEETS j THERE are many who are coming to believe that the farmers of this valley should get away from the sole idea of alfalfa for crop. It has been demonstrated in a small way that beans will do well on the lighter soils of the slopes and that sugar beets grow to perfection on the flat. It is admitted that either crop will produce greater returns to the farmer in a season than alfalfa or hay. Still year after 1 year the farmer has depended upon his potato po-tato patch and his lucerne to pay his bills, feed his family and to replenish his bank account. We believe that next season will see quite a variation from the usual program. There will be sev- S eral hundreds of acres of beans plant- j ed and the sugar beet will be more I thoroughly tried as a revenue producer for the Milford valley farmers. j |
