There may be some more work about
raising sugar beets than is connected
with raising sorghum, but it should not
be forgotten that the price offered is

if he lives anywhere within radius of
ten OF twelve miles from town, he can
afford to raise them. Good land will
produce Is tons of beets, and if properly
cultivated they will bring from 81 to SIS
per ton. That would mean $50 to SIS
per acre. With good team he could
haul two tons at load, and at a season,
too, when no other farm work Was
presslng-from November to February.
1t will he strange if there is not large
acreage of beets planted this season.
