I began raising beets for the factory in 1891 and each year I increased the acreage. Some years when I had plenty of help with my own boys I raised a hundred tons, and was very successful in raising a good quality of beets. As I grew older I rented my land with the understanding that they should raise beets for the Lehi factory. In that way I have raised beets for about 35 years. This picture shows only the small patch which I tended. I ran a beet drill for the sugar company for ten years. Joseph Goates used to say that when I planted his beets he was sure of a good stand. I am now 86 years old and still have a great interest in beet raising. J - ? nir---,,.,. .-a ''U w 1 k - i EYES EXAMINED GLASSES CORRECTLY FITTED Satisfaction Guaranteed. , E. N. WEBB Jeweler and Optometrist "The Gift Shop" IAIN STREET LEHI vr Austin Bros. Farm, Saratoga, Utah The above photograph taken on the Austin Brothers' Saratoga Farm, west of Lehi. The two men in the photo are Mr.TSd. Street, foreman and one of his irrigators. These beets were thinned in time, cultivated seven times and irrigated three times to date. This farm contains about 500 acres of land, about 200 of which are plant ed to sugar beets each year. This farm is being properly rotated with barley planted with sweet clover, then the followng year a crop of sweet clover is plowed under and planted to corn along in May, followed with sugar beets for two years thereafter, or alfalfa is used, growing hay for two years, the crop is then plowed under and planted to corn, followed with sugar beets for two years, and then rotated as before. The corn land is always thoroughly irrigated In the fall after the corn crop is harvested, then the land is fall plowed. This Irrigation furnishes abundance of moisture for the germination of the seed and the early growth of the beets the following spring, In fact the filling up of the sub-soil late in the fall protects the next crop throughout the growing season, taking considerable consider-able less water to raise it. Some farmers use potatoes, tomatoes or beans instead of corn. This plan of rotation, irrigation and preparation has been outlined by Mr. Mark Austin, General Agricultural Superintendent of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Co., for many years. This farm has averaged about 17 tons per acre for the last 10 years, notr withstanding that in 1924 and 1926 the crops were very light owing to the blight. If the farmers will follow this system of rotation, irrigation and cultivation, culti-vation, there will be no question about them getting heavy crops with good returns. ' ED. STREET, Foreman. It. was a Jolly ride the "Old" Lion made through the various wards of Lehl Inspecting the homes of our citizens. It was a caution to hear him growl disapprovingly at some places, particularly the side walks, where the weeds and grass were so tall as to interrupt people seeking to reach Main street to do shopping. Oh! My! you should been with Him! To see him smile was an inspiration. in-spiration. Sometimes He really grin-ed grin-ed from ear to ear. Those roses, banks of flowers, lawns, painted homes and fences, cleaned sidewalks out to the road, in some cases old fences were gone, trees were trimmed, trim-med, cement walks had been made with many other improvements, gave! to our city a pleasing appearance. Some of his remarks were: "What a transformation in so short a time!" s "Even the boys and girls are interested." inter-ested." "Some of the best prizes will be won by homes without man help."
