The far--lh'ers are engaging in beet growing, , "who now number close to 100,000, are making more tfcbney than they have ever made before; their farms are) better; their teirns are filled witli "good stock'; their families have morfc 'educational and social advantages"; they have better churches and Schools iand most them have machines to . ride about in.

"It is usually true that in sugar beet sections the soil is more fertile j than in those where no beets ze grown, not always because of any natural fertility, but because befrt-s re quire frequent, cultivation, vVih means that the soil is kept Iti good condition and free from weId. Then too, beets are rotated with "some le gume, usually alfalfa in tSie west. This results in the addition of con siderable organic matter as well as nitrogen to the soil. Tb grain crop which usually foilows tbeets atnost universally yields from 25 to 50 per cent more than would otherwise be expected. The soil tu these sections I is more fertile because of the greater! amount of livestock pt upon ike; farms.

Ike'" typlical American farmer, wh&u considering engaging in a new agricultural enterprise or raising a new crop, usually asks first, How 'auch more money can I matoe from that crop than from the ones I am tiow raising? Is there an available market, fnr the DTOdUCt When pro duced? , . "I shall endeaver to enlighten you regarding the mney making possi bilities or' I had better say probabili ties, of Sugar Beets -as a crop. . The average production per acre, con sidering the eatire -country, good and bad, is about 10 tolls, bu t In mahy entire districts -an average of from 15 ,to 20 tons iper acre is made. I have known some fanners to obtain a yield of as liigh as 30 tons. Let us take 15 tons per acre as a good gene ral average. 'For the past two years most of th teeer sugar factories have paid $10 per ton for beets delivered at the Factory. That makes $150 per acre from the beets alone. Now, from a 15 ton crop of beets one will obtain about 8 tens of beet tops, which when siloed -Ui i? pit in the ground are worth, for feeding purposes; just half as much as good clover or alfalfa hay. That is -you would obtain the equiva lent of 4 tons of legume hay per acre. If you'teid to go out and buy this same hay. ytfur probably could not touch It for less than $15 per ton. Taking this as a basis, you would have about; $60 wnrti -f hppt tons ner acre. Thatl added to your $150 makes a total of $21$ per acre. But the profit does not end there. As I mentioned briefly be fore, the yield of grain grown after beets is increased at least 25 per vent Now if your average production 1)1 grain is 20 bushels per acre, it will, according to all past experience, be increased to about 25, or a net gain of "5 bushels. If grain is worth Only $1 a bushel, that means an additional profit of $5 per acre without any aadi tiC'iral cost. This brings the total groHB returns per acre up to 215. Now even in the last two years, with the abnormally high labor costs, beets can be produced in most sec tions for $75 per acre. This cost in cliaes all work for planting, hireC labor for thinning, hoeing, cultivating, weeding and harvesting; aiso either" reift on land or interest on money in- ve&ted in land. Deducting this $75 from the gross returns of $215, leaves a net profit of about $140 per cre Can you make that much or any wnere near that much on any ierop -ot crops you raise in your country at the -present time and do it on a large scal and year after yeaT? Show me the crop nd I'll go to raising it. The Market "Now answering the other question wTilcli the farmer will ask, that is as to wbether there is always an avail able market for the crop and what, in suraMce he will have as to the pri"e "he will receive for it. A factory located in a district assures a constant mar- ket tor his beets. The factory in turn is assured an outiet for their manu facturea product by the ever increas ing demand of the American puhlj for nrore sugar. Concerning the pfk he win -Receive for his beets. I migM say that it is almost universally the custom fer Sugar Companies to go arpw4,nd sign up the acreage in the ) fall pf the year, signing contracts with the f arSOTstrptiug ton to "be -paid for" beets. Then' the farmers knows that if he can raise 15 tons toiSie acre on his -land and if he is to receive say $10 per ton for his beets, that he wilmake $150 per acre gross tin his beets alone, not to mention the lay-products. Outside o? the crops on which the price was set because of tbe war, he can do this with no other crop except sugar beeis. And he has the -assurance that he will receive his money, because the Sugar Companies -are backed by Millions of capital... ..." A Factory Here ::fK:':::;LHH::i:::?

Would it be worth while? . - ' - New Farming "Think what it would mean to agriculture in this region. It would be the means of re-juvenating farm ing, further educating the people and showing them how to live better lives. Now a farmer can raise most crops as he sees fit, and need not accept the ad vice and help of county and govern ment agricultural experts unless he wishes to do so, but not so with sugar beets. The Sugar Company tells Mr. Farmer that" if he wishes to raise beets for them that he must raise them according to instructions which their agricultural field men give him. And these field men are men who know the Sugar Beet Industry from A. to Z. They know what sort of soil is best adapted to the growth of beets and also what attention should be given the beet crop when once J planted. They know how to help the farmer make more money for himself as well as for the company. Such men are a great asset to a community. "In order to give Sugar Beets a good trial jiere this year, we are distribu ting' among any who are interested in planting same, a considerable quan tity of seed. It is expected that there will be about 200 pounds of seed dis tributed FREE.
