THE So GAR beet CROP.
Keeping the Tubers From Maturity Until
StsSS Il! Used 1t the Factory.

Keeping the Tubers From Maturity Until
$s $ss;5 0 Used vt the Factory.
Just what will be found the best
method OF keeping sugar beets after
they arc ripe until they can be used at
the factory I" cannot DO answered at
present with any degree Of certainty"
according to q bulletin on the output OF
sugar beets from the Oregon station.
\ Following are additional statements
from this bulletin:
It may be found possible in eastern
and southern Oregon to leave the beets
in the ground till needed at the factory.
This would DO possible if it were found
that the slight second growth which
might be induced would not cause o
greater loss of sugar than would be oc-
oasioned by SLIDING. # this method can
be practiced, it means material saving
in handling the crop. II the loss by
such method is too great. then either
the silo, consisting Of pit lined with
straw, or sheds, as used at Norfolk, Neb.,
may be used. Either of these methods,
It ia believed, can be used successfully
in the eastern or southern part Of the
state, but in the Willamette valley prob
ably the shed will be the only feasible
means.
In farmers bulletin issued from the
United States department of agriculture
SLIDING the beets is suggested rs the
simplest method Of keeping the tubers.
and the one employed at some factories.
In some sections, az in California, all
chat is required to protect the tubers
until desired for use is a covering OF
straw. In SLIDING the beets the advice
is to place in piles and cover at first
only slightly with earth, afterward in
creasing the covering according to the
degree Of cold.
At the Oregon station experiments
are to be made to determine the rate OF
decrease in sugar content and purity by
allowing the beets to remain III the
ground till used. The pro6!:ciEg Of
beets rich in sugar is an important at
ter from a financial standpoint, for it
costs nearly as much to produce beets
containing the minimum of IL per cent
sugar as to produce those carrying Is
per cent. The former, to quote figures
given In the Oregon bulletin, would
bring but IS. so per ton, or, assuming
yield Of IL tons per acre, an income Of
S42 per acre, while the latter would
bring 81. so per ton, or $64 per acre,
which is very material difference.
