Sugar Beets Paying Crop Sugar Beet Grower Tells What Factory Means to Community As showing what a sugar factory and the raising of a few acres of sugar beets will do for a family we reproduce the following follow-ing extract from a letter written by Chris. J. Hansen of Garland, Utah, to Sugar, a paper devoted to the beet and beet sugar indus-try; indus-try; ' The culture of the sugar beet has brought prosperity to the Bear River valley as no other crop has. In the first place it has increased the value of the land over 100 per cent in the last five years. One may ask how has it done this? First by decreasing the acreage in alfalfa, potatoes ' and cereal crops, thus doubling the price of hay, and greatly increasing the price of the other crops. While the acreage of beets increases the acerage of Alfalfa decreases and the demand for hay to feed for fattening stock, which is fed by the thousand around every sugar factory. The man with a large family of boys has an excellent chance to get along and pay for a farm .by raising beets, as he can save the whole crop which on, say, 20 tons per acre means a hundred dollars. All the family are employed the whole season at wages running from $3 to $6 a day, and are soon in prosperous circumstances. I have grown beets four years nd where I follow the proper rotation have averaged averag-ed over 20 tons per acre, netting me $60 per acre, and also have observed that beets materially increase in-crease the yeild of the grain and hay crops following. I have seen a hundred bushels of barley per acre after five consecutive con-secutive crops of beets. The last crop of beets, however, only went 12 tons. I am coducting some experiments in rotation with most gratifying results, and find that by planting beets after potatoes that the best results are obtained. Charles A.
