Sugar heets in Michigan.

II now rests with the farmers OF the
state as to whether or not the opportun-
tiles afforded by this new industry shall
be taken advantage Of. The outlay of
millions OF dollars and the neat reven-
ne to be derived by the farmer is not a
triHing matter and should not be over
looked
The law passed by the recent iegisla-
ture provides for a bounty OF one cent
per pound on all beet sugar manufact-
ed in this state from beets raised in this
state.
One factory would require $500 acres
OF beets every season. Expert ments
have proven that from IL to 10 tons Of
beets can be raised on an acre OF Michi-
gan soil. One factory would therefore
consume from $4,000 TO $4,000 tons Of
beets annually. The Michigan law re-
quires the payment Of 81 a ton for beets
containing IL per cent. sugar. As the

raised in this state test from 1880 to
Is per cent. The farmers would there
fore receive from one factory from Sls9-

Although numerous experiments have
been made, the exact cost of raising an
acre OF beets is not exactly known, but
the estimated cost given in the bulletin
issued from the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture at Washington is
from $40 to S45 per acre. The bets
would bring an income of from $50 to
S72 per acre, making a net proftot from
$40 to SO per acre, which exceeds that
furnished by any cereal crop and the
liabilities of crop failure are not so
great-Wm. A. French, State Land
