M1SSOULIANS WORKING HARD TO
SECURE BEET SUGAR FACTORY
COMPANY MUST BE ASSURED OF BEETS
And Seed Is Being Distributed and
Contracts Made—Grower Obligat
ed for Period of Five Years.
The Western News is in receipt of a
small amount of sugar beet seed for
warded by the Bozeman Agricultural
college upon request of the Missoula
Chamber of Commerce. These seeds
are for free distribution to fanners
who are interested in the beet industry
and will cultivate them properly for
experimental purposes.
Accompanying the seeds are blank
forms of contiact, which will be en
tered into by the factory and the beet
grower whereby the farmer is obligat
ed tP cultivate a certain acreage for a
period of five years and deliver his
product at the factory or the nearest
railway depot and for which he shall
receive $5 per ton.
Together with this contract the
farmers are furnished with some very
interesting data regarding the culture
of the sugar beet in Montana. A few
paragraphs of this information read
as follows:
"The arid and semi-arid lands of the
West are peculiarly well adapted to
the growing of sugar beets; they have
but little rainfall; the land is irrigated,
and the long, continuous bright sun
and uniform weather insures a rich
percentage of sugar in the beet.
"The amount of sugar depends upon
climate, not soil. Sugar comes from
the air, none of it from the earth. The
laboratory in which it is gathered is
the leaf and the active agent is the
sun's rays, unobstructed by cloud or
fogs. Other things being equal, sugar
in beets is in proportion to sunshine,

and sunshine is, of course, in propor
tion to aridity. The crop is never in
jured by rain or drouths, and can al
ways be harvested at the proper time,
thus preventing decay, sprouting and
other injurious action.
"The beet sugar industry in Michi
gan and other Middle West states has
deen uniformly profitableand of large
benefit to farmer and manufacturer,
and also to the country at large, since
it is producing that which we would
otherwise import. But it is noticeable
that the large companies are now build
iug new factories only in arid and
semiarid regions. Uiah has seven al
ready, California eight and Colorado
nine. Think of the rough, tnouutain
ous, mining, arid state of Colorado
with uine great beet sugar factories
and actually exporting sugar as well
as gold.
"Extensive experiments made last
year with the growing of sugar beets
in the river valleys of Montana have
demonstrated that beets grown in
Montana are of better quality than in
Colorado and Utah. The percentage
of sugar runs from 14 6-10 per cent, up
to 19 7-10 per cent.; a few exceptional
ly good samples as high as 22 percent.
"The yield per acre runs all the way
from 20 to 30 tons per acre. This
shows without any doubt that the
river valleys of Montana are well
adapted for the growing of sugar
beets.
"The best sugar men of the rain
belt have been astonished since 1901
at the wonderful reports on the beet
sugar industry in Colorado. They
knew already that sugar beets have
been successfully raised on irrigated
lands, for instance in Utah since 1891,
but they never heard of crops of 20 to.
40 tons of beets per acre raised in the
first season, nor of campaigns of 60,000
and even 100,000 tons of beets showing
an average percentage of sugar of 17
per cent.
"Where irrigation is practiced the
fanner has an opportunity to control
the growth of the beet and the develop
ment of its sugar to a much greater de
gree 'than is possible in the humid
sections.
"In general, the rules of irrigation
as applied to other crops, may be suc
cessfully used with sugar beets. It
would be well, however, in order to
secure a greater downward growth of
the beets, to withhold the application
of
of
It
To
the
the
and
and
the
the
of water in each case until the leaves
begin to turn yellow. In this way the
proportion of tops to the rest of the
root may be reduced and the proportion
of sugar correspondingly increased.
It is also advisable to avoid very late
irrigation."

MARGERY CHAMBERS IS WINNER
To Represent Hamilton at Inter
Scholastic Meet in Missoula.
A declamatory contest to select a
champion to represent the Hamilton
High school at the inter-scholastic
meet soon to be held at Missoula under
the auspices of the state university
was given at the Lucas Opera house
last Monday evening. An excellent
program was rendered, all acquitting
themselves with credit. The music by
the Mendelssohn club and High School
chorus and the vocal solo by Mrs. Mc
Murry made decided hits. The three
contestants had evidently been very
carefully trained and reflected great
credit on their instructors, Prof.
Owens and Miss Mahar. Miss Mar
gery Chambers won the first honors
and will represent Hamilton in the
oratorical contest. Miss Laura Harper
and Mr. Charles Rose also acquitted
themselves handsomely, but the judges
couldn't decide in favor of them all.
The program was as follows: Music,
High school chorus; Declamation—
Death Bed of Benedict Arnold,by Miss
Laura J. Harper; music, Mendelssohn
club; declamation—Robert Emmett on
the Dock, by Charles W. Rose; vocal
solo by Mrs. W. E. Me Murry; declam
ation—How the La Rue Stakes Were
Lost, by Miss Margery Chambers;
music, Mendelssohn club; decision by
the judges; music.
The judges were Rev. J. B. Parnall,
Rev. J. E. Burkhart and Miles Rom
ney.
CONVENTION MEETS
NEXT TUESDAY
SUNDAY SCHUOL WORKERS OF
STATE TO MEET IN HAFIILTON.
EXCELLENT PROGRAM IS PREPARED
People of Hamilton Will Entertain
the Delegates—A Big Attend
ance is Expected.
The convention of the State Sunday
School Association, which will be held
in Hamilton May 16, 17 and 18, prom
ises to be of unusual interest. A
most excellent program has been pro
vided, in which prominent workers of
the state, and the Rev. W. C. Merritt
of Tacoma, Washington, a representa
tive of the International Sunday
School Association, will take part.
The evening programs are especially
attractive and should draw large aud
iences. The entire convention will
prove a feast of good things for all
Sunday school workers.
The Hamilton people are preparing
to entertain a large convention. The
ratio of representation for the Sunday
schools of the state is one delegate for
every twenty scholars. At least sixty
delegates are expected.
Free entertainment will be furnish
ed the delegates for breanfast, supper
and night's lodging, while they will
secure their dinner at the hotels and
restaurants.
The morning sessions of the conven
tion will be held in the Methodist
church,South, and the evening sessions
in the Lucas opera house. The com
plete program will be found elsewhere
in this paper.
Results Are Remarkable.
The work of reclaiming the semi
arid west is being pushed with re
markable rapidity, says the Chicago
Live Stock World. The national re
clamation act has done more to develop
in
I
agricultural land than anything
else that congress has ever done.
There is scarcely a stream this side
of the Rocky Mountains that hasn't
been surveyed with the idea of divert
ing its water to good and useful pur
poses. Where these streams go drv
big reservoirs will be built to hold the
flood waters sufficient for all purp. se>
during the dry season, so that farm
ers may be assured of an abundance
of moisture.
The progress that has been nuuK
along the valley of the Yellowstone
during the past five years has been
remarkable and the results fairly mag
ical. This plan of development is
opening up new homes for hundreds
of good people and the result is that
the towns along the valley are reflect
ing the agricultural prosperity of the
people.
Real estate is on the boom and fine
modern buildings are going up on all
sides. There is a feeling of progress
in the air which was never felt until
irrigation came to reclaim the utilised
lauds.
