When it is we'll established that sugar
beets can be successfully grown by the
farmers in this vicinity, the value, of
every acre of land that grows them Will
be increased In value. Then, it appears
probable that congress will offer a boun-
| ty OF one dollar per ton for all sugar
beetS grown and delivered to sugar
factory; 50 the beet-raiser will get that
| in addition to the price now offered by
the sugar company. 1t cannot be ex-
pected that the company will do all of
the experimenting, and the farmers
should not expect it. Every man hay
ing the future success of this locality
at heart, should be willing to assist in
making the sugar business a success
this year, and there is no better way to
do it than by planting beets.
1t is high time that our peopls should
do something toward getting the fall
meeting of the Barber and Harper
County Horse Breeders association.
