The live question among farmers now
is what can be done to make farming
pay? If sugar beet growing pays in
Nebraska may il not b. made profitable
in other grain-growing states? Ii is
an interesting question. What. then,
are they doing in that state that is
taking the lead in this industry? The

close estimate of the beet-sugar prod

the great Oxnard factories is expect

FROM $1,000 tons Of beets. This is about
twice as large a field as that of 1898,
ard nearly three times as great as that
Of 1894. At the same time the number
of farmers who have cultivated beets
has increased with like rapidly. In
1854 only about SOC. aud in 1895, 300

received by the growers ranged from

of beets grown by each farmer was
only about 81 tons, showing that less
than four acres were planted, on the
average. But the profit from this small
area was from $3.50 to sao0-more. prob
