LARGE portions of West Virginia
are regarded by the agricultural de-
partment as being as good as any in
the country for growing beets. In view
of the large and steady demand for
sugar, the excellence of that made
from the beet, and the further fact
that there is scarcely any better for
age crops, the raising of the beet is
matter which our West Virginia far
mers might do well to give their at
tention. The agricultural depart
ment has gathered a great deal of in
formation on the subject and this
may be had for the asking. The best
farming is that which looks to the
most profitable crops, willing to take
up with new idea if it be good as
well as new. There is money in beet
raising for sugar and an investigation
of its merits is all that will be neces-
sary to convince the most skeptical of
its feasibility.
