In this connection it will be interest
ing to know that before the Chamber
of Commerce took hold of the matter,
no regular and systematic effort had
ever been made to test the land of the
county with view to discovering it's
value as a beet producer. and the re-
suits as shown by the above analysis
are fiattering in the extreme. The
Chamber of Commerce has, at it's head
and Third, complete maps of the Sec
tions examined by Mr. Gird, and per-
sons interested may there receive ac-
curate information respecting locaH-
ties
SOURCE OF INCOME.
In speaking of the sugar-beet as a
money-maker, Mr.. Gird had this to
say:
II am satisfied from my observa-
tions and from reliable information
gathered from other sources, that a
sugar beet factory can be easily sup
ported by each of the districts 1 have
visited, each factory having a capaci-
ty of 1000 tons per day, and know
that this would bring to the county
from $5,0O0OO0 to $S,OOO,OOO per an
mum over and above present produc-
tions.
COSUMNES- RIVER LAND.
'T have received reliable information
with regard to the Cosumnes River
district, which would be tributary to
factories at Sacramento, showing that
in that valley alone there are 10000
acres of the best sugar-beet land in the
county. One lot of beets from John
Mahan's ranch, eighteen miles south
east of here, ran, as is shown by the
table, very high in sugar, one 34-ounce
beet showing 15.4 per cent, which indi-
Gates that the land is first class for
beet culture"
Expert Gird is satisfied that the ISL
ands down the river are also adapted
for the culture of the beet, and two
tests from vegetables grown on Mer-
ritt Island, which belongs to Yolo
County, showed III per cent, and
ia per cent. sugar.
NO NEED TO SILO.
1.-THE several characters of soil in Sac
ramento County," said Mr.. Gird, will
allow factories to operate from the 1st
of July until the last of November, and
