Having hxod the relative value Of sugar
and beet-roote, We ara enabled to settle tho i'm
portant question
| or PROFIT.
Mr. Roaanstel aesuroa tho public that, for such
beeta in are grown, In his county,
tho profit Of making the sugar Is
= good one; and, further, that the molasses can
be made into good syrups for the table. So much
being settled, tho question to tho farmer is one
OF comparison With other crops, as the farmer
will usually grow tho crop that pays beat, or at
least promises that result.
In Germany and France, the business Of grow.
ing beets for sugar ts on tho increase, and found
to be ono Of the boat-ptying crops that 10
grown aud the question may well be asked,
why it will not pay In the same proportion hore.
But We must bear inmnd that. wlth !, cheap lands,
