SUGAR beet BULLETIN.
AN INCENTIVE TO THE ESTAB-
LIsHMENT OF SUGAR FAC
TORIES IN WYOMING.
Investigation Has Established Beyond
a Doubt the A%daptability of Our
Soils to This Important Crop
Something in Relation to the Meth
eds OF Cultivation.

The Office Of Experiment Stations of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has furnished the Wyoming
Station a quantity of sugar
beet seed to be distributed to the farm
ers of the state for cooperative tests.
The results of experiments with this
seed are to be sent to the chemist of
the Wyoming Station at Laramie along
with samples of the beets for analysis.
All the data collected will be forwarded
to the United States Department of
Agriculture for publication, and if
enough samples are obtained, the re-
suits will also be published in this
state.
The investigation of the Wyoming
Experiment Station in 1891 and 1892,
established beyond a doubt the adapt
ability of many of our soils to this i'm
portant crop. 1t is hoped and expected
that the cooperation of our farmers
this season will advance the interests
of the state by calling attention to our
superior conditions of soil and climate
for the production of sugar beets.
Sugar factories are being established
in other states and early recognition
of the superior inducements which can
be offered in Wyoming is Of the great
est Importance. Farmers cooperating
with the Station will be to no expense,
unless it be a few cents postage on beet
samples sent in for analysis. The seed
will be furnished free and the crop
raised is a valuable n both for the
table and as a stock feed, in both cases
being preferred to red beets. In France
seventy-five per cent of the sugar beets
raised are for stock feed instead of the
production of sugar. BY growing them
every year for stock food, our farmers
are paving the way for the establish
ment Of factories, since thus what can
be one is determined, experience is
gained in the production of be,ets, and
knowledge is acquired which will give
confidence in the crop when the time
comes for the manufacture of sugar.
THOSE WISHING SEED SHOULD
sENn IN rur1p N.Mro An o>,on,
as the supply is limited, and those ap-
plying will be supplied in order of their
application so long as the seed lasts.
One pound OF seed will be sent each
