Over half Of the harvest is now completed
and the sugar beets continue to come In In en-
almost continuous stream. Severe! times
during the past week as many as forty loads
Of from two to four tons each could be- seen
waiting in front of the factory to unload
into the capacious NAV of the great factory.
1t is indeed a wonderful and most gratifying
sight, especially in times of depression in
agriculture and manufacture, as we'll as all 9th.
err lines Of industry, to SEQ here day after day,
week after week, month after month, farmers
marketing thousands upon thousands OF tons
of the product of their labour, FOR which they
receive a good round price, and which is
being Immediately manufactured at home
and distributed throughout the country for
consumption.
During the week ending last night the de-
livery of beets from the Chino fields amounted
to 300 tons, after deducting the factory tare,
This makes an average net daily delivery Of
GIG tons. W~elghmasterT. E.. Walker reports
the total Chino delivery for tho season up to
last night as ~, l4G tons. This is just 48
tons more Than the entire harvest last year.
1t is estimated that there are yet about 10000
tons in the fields. Besides this, An&heim and

The work of the factory has been quite suo-
%orssful, everything moving along smoothly.
During the week there have been made l.147.
749 pounds of sugar, bringing the total out
put for the season up to 8947 1872 pounds.
The output of the factory his year will uu-
doubtedly reach fully 10, 100000 pounds.
Baron Won Berg, a distinguished Austrian
land proprietor and extensive farmer, was in
Chino, the guest of Mr. Grid yesterday. tie
owns some 10000 acres Of land, and raises
sugar beets extensively. During his visit
here, he was enthusiastic over this country,
its people and its possibilities. Especially
in the sugar beet industry, he says. we ought
to be happy that we have such ideal condi-
tiOns for the work. In Austria ho says that
they often have two or three weeks Of nice
weather during the first part Of the harvest,
and then rains, st0rrns, sIush anu mud pre-
vail, making the farmers lot a hard one.
Like all other European beet men who have
tho sugar business.
Mr.. Grid now has some 700 head Of cattle
in his yards and pastures fattening on beet
pulp. The results from the use of pulp for
feed seems to be giving even better results
this year than before The cattle eat it with
9 relish from tho first, and are taking on flesh
wonderfully fast.
The sugar Company again paid out about
$1,000 on Tuesday,on their ssm..mOnthly labor
payroll.
Several times lately there have been as
many as forty loads of beet standing in line
before the scales at the factory waiting to be
weighed and to unload

The Anaheim people are making " good
showing from their first rect crop. They are
making money, and are enthusiastio yer their
crop. All praise is due them for their pOr-
severance and success. Yet, if they have
cause to rejoice over the industry, how much
more have the Chino people. A prominent
official of the (hino Valley Beet Sugar Com
pany said TO us the other day that if the fac
tory were supplied at it's present capacity
entirely with Anaheim beets, they would last
just about ten days.-ChampiOn.
