SUGAR BEET CULTURE.

The communication Of Mr.. Z. nj.
Bartlett on the subject of sugar beet
culture, published in The ISLANDER
two weeks ago, was timely and TO the
point. There is no longer any room
for doubt that sugar beets can be pro
fitably produced in Western Washing
ton as we'll as on the east side OF the
mountains Two years ago at the agrl-
cultural experiment station at Pullman
1,544 analysis of beets adapted to the
so,l and climatic conditions OF the
state were made, which analysis gave
for the entire state the following high
averages: Weight, % OF; sugar, l5.2
per cent; purity, 1873. The expert III
charge regarded this as a "remarkable
showing, particularly as regards purl-
tv.u The beet raised in Western Wash
ington averaged "A ounces in weight
while those of Eastern Washington
averaged p ounces, but the latter made
up in sweetness what they lacked III
weight, averaging 1915 per cent sugar
while those raised Oh this side of the
mountains averaged 149 per cent which
is about the average in California. In
France, where sugar beet culture Is
carried on quite extensively the aver
age sugar value of the beets is only SIX
per cent and the yield about sixteen
tons per acre. In Germany the yield
per acre is only eight tons, with ten
per cent of sugar. We can easily equal
or excel the average French yield per
acre and produce beets that will yield
more than double the French average
of saccharine matter. Mr.. Bartlett, for
instance, says he can produce as high as
forty tons per acre, and from samples
which he raised last year weighing 81
and 33 ounces respectively he obtained
analysis showing 14.7 and 1913 per cent
sugar and 83.1 and S9.1 per cent purity.
1t is clear, therefore, that with refiner-
les near enough at hand to take the
product without involving too heavy
charges for transportation, the raising
of sugar beets in nearly all sections of
this state would be profitable indus
try, even with beets selling at a lower
price per ton than potatoes have ever
yet reached on Puget Sound.

ACCORDING to recent Washington
dispatch an appropriation of $500, OOG
has been recommended by the sub-com-

it strikes THE ISLANDER that it would
be far better to expend this money

which are an actual necessity for the
protection of millions upon millions of
