l.. A. Thompson. Tancher of San BernaT-
dino County, who is In the city. says that next
year he expects to see many acres OF land In
that locality devoted TO the culture of sugar
beets ''There are some great advantages
offered the people in our valley by this indus
try" said he "For ins ance, we have many
hundreds OF acres of alkali lands which have
heretofore been found OF but little use but
which we are assured will produce just as good
beels as any other kind. Our people have finally
got beyond thai period when the greatest am
bltiOn they have Is 10 own vineyard and grow
fruit. We realize that under present conditions
the sooner rancher dcvOtes his land and time
to some other purpose The better 1t Will be for
him. Now, at the Chino factory. where we
would OF necessity market our beets, they pay
for the same approximately "a 80 per ton and
we are assured that our lands will produce from
hfteen to twenty tons per acre. That would be
great deal better than growing wheat or bar
ley at present prices. The Chino factory has
agreed TO supply US with seed tor experimental
purposes next year and TO contract for the pro-
duction from 500 acres OF land. Most OF The
farmers Will put In only from i've TO ten acres
each, as II Is their desire to lose little as pos
sible in the event OF failure. There seems 10
be an uncertainty 10 the minds Of the sugar
men as to the results that can be secured from
irrigated lands, but / do not see why they
should not produce fully as good beets as any
other kind"
