Returns from those crops already harvested are very satisfac-- . tory. Alfalfa cuttings over practically all the county antheayy and the pea crop, now well along in the harvest, is taxing to capacity the ties for handling the same, so large is the yield. The harvesting of our very promising grain crops is about to begin with indications from all of the county for bumper crops. The condition of the sugar beet crop on July 1st is reported as 100 percent by way of comparison with other years. To recognize the beneficial results of the farm bureau activities upon the county's agriculture, one needs only bcc-tio- ns view the chcanged conditions in Cache crop in our agriculture. The experi ence of twenty years has demonstrated, however, that Cache valley lands will not go on indefinitely producing on a single crop program. Through careful and collective study and demonstration, we have learned that results in sugar beet growing commensurate with the effort required to successfully produce this crop, can be obtained only when a proper system of crop rotation is practiced. The prospects for the sugar beet crop in Cache valley never were better than this year. To date the crop condition is 100 per cent as compared with other years and over the whole county the stand is 80 per cent perfect on the basis of one beet every twelve inches in the row. This means that on the average in Cache county there are better than 20,000 beet plants per acre this year to date. Taking into account all the favorable conditions, these plants should be made to weigh by harvesting time about one and pounds per beet, or a per acre yield estimate for the county of fourteen tons. On this basis Cache county will produce upwards of 250,000 tons of sugar beets this one-ha- PROGRESSCASTLEDH " : N Aii7nkt I iir n 1 ,, ii The Brigham Young college ...

The growing of peas in Cache county has become a substantial project in our agricultural program. This year the growers are enjoying an exceptionally favorable season for this crop. The harvesting is now on and is being done in record time, with practically all peas being handled of a high quality. This industry is relatively new in the county and farmers are ; just beginning to learn well the business of growing nas. This crop seems particularly well adapted to the conditions in Cache valley and the industry gives every promise of taking a permanent place among Cache county's profitable and leading crops. Returns from harvesting to date of the pea crop seem to warrant the conclusion that the average yield in the county this season will approximate 2500 pounds of shelled peas per acre.
