DUR1Ea the past year large capital has
been attracted toward the development
OF the sugar beet industry in the United
States on the Pacific coast. Although
that section of the country, with its pc
culiar surroundings, does not generally
present the meteorological and climatic
conditions necessary to secure the best
results in the cultivation OF the beet
root for sugar making purposes, yet
factory was started last October, with
equipment and machinery capable of re-
ducing three hundred and fifty tons of
beets per diem, and has proved q great
financial success. A full supply of beets,
cultivated by the wheat growers OF Cali
fornia, kept the works fully employed,
and boom was given to the town Of
Watsonville. The factory consumes
seven tons of lime daily in the chemical
process Of extracting the sugar, which
is dis ributed pro ra.a to the growers OF
beets free, and can be returned to the
soil. Besides, the farmers averaged over
eighty dollars per acre for their beet
products, while the recent report OF the
agricultural bureau estimate the returns
from the total production of the five
principal crops-oats, corn, rye, barley,
and wheat-in the United States to be
less than twelve dollars per acre as an
average
