Show Beets and Beet Seed Doing Fine E. D. Hashimoto, the Japanese sugar beet grower west of tovvn, was here the later part of last week looking over his crop and other extensive farming operations opera-tions on the big tract of land he has leased. Saturday evening he brot in two beets from his fields one of which would weigh about eight pounds and the other about 'eleven. While he chose large beets he says he did not hunt over the field for them. He informs us that a spur will be built from the Sugarville branch to his farm to facilitate the moving mov-ing of his sugar beet crop which will amount to around . 3,000 tons. b Work will commence on this spur in a few days anc we are informed that the citizens of Hinckley are considering its extension ex-tension on into that town. Mr. Hashimoto is also doing some experimenting in the sugar beet seed raising line. He brot in some nicely matured seed from his ranch which he intended intend-ed taking to the Utah Idaho Sugar Co. for analysis, also some second crop seed, which, of course would not mature. The European war has inspired beet seed raising and there is something some-thing like a thousand acres of seed being raised in Utah and Idaho alone. |
