waverly Sugar Factory.

The new sugar factory at Waverly,
Spokane county, Washington, began
operations December 8. This is the
first beet sugar factory to be built in
this state, and the second in the Pacific
Northwest. The farmers in the vicinity
of the factory raised about 400 acres OF
beets this year, the yield being 4 to II
tons per acre. d. c. Corbin, of Spo-
kane, owner OF the factory is paying
81 per ton for beets containing IL to IA
per cent of sugar and 33 l-3 cents per
ton additional for each per cent OF
sugar avove II. The average price for
the entire crop is about $3.50 per ton.
Taking the average yield as eight
tons, half way between the extremes,
this would give gross return OF $36
per acre. The cost per acre of the
beets delivered at the factory is in the
neighborhood of $25 to $50. This
leaves some profit to the average beet
grower, and considerable to those
whose beets give yields OF 10 or IL
tons per acre. Another year, when
the farmers know more OF beet culture,
and are in position to give their crops
the attention they need, better results
may fairly be expected. This is the
beginning of an industry which will,
ii successful, become an important feat.
ure of Eastern Washington agriculture.
1t will give the farmers of the Palouse
country profitable crop to grow in
rotation with wheat. When the farm
ers have learned the value of sugar
beet pulp as a stock feed, it will also
doubtless result in an increase of live
stock on the wheat ranches in the vi
entity of the factory.

SUGAR BETS.
Conclusions From Experiments Con.
Quoted by Oregon Agricultural sta
tion-lndustry in Washington.

The Oregon agricultural experiment
station at Corvallis has issued PAM
phlet in which it presents the conclu-
sions reached after five years of investi-
CATION concerning beet sugar produce
ton in Oregon. 1t says three sections
of the state are exceptionally we'll
adapted to the industry, viz: Union
county in the vicinity of La Grande;
Malheur county, in the vicinity, of On
tario, and Arcadia; Jackson county, in
the vicinity of Medford, possessing as
it does large area capable of produce
ing very large supply of beets.
Water, fuel and limestone are easily
and cheaply obtainable in each To-
cality.
The most serious obstacle in any of
these localities is the limited number
of people available for field help at
short notice, especially would this be
true in Malheur county.
Western Oregon is not we'll adapted
to the industry on account OF the early
fall rains and soil which is very
heavy and sticky, and tenacious to the
beet when wet, and it also lacks a
cheap lime supply.
Beet growing in Malheur county
would have to be under u system OF ir-
rigation similar to that in Utah.
If beets are planted in the middle OF
April either in eastern or southern Ore.
gon nothing is gained by delaying har.
vest later than the first week in Sep.
tender.
The Original Klein Wanzlebener and
the Elite Klein Wanzlebener have
proven themselves we'll adapted to the
and have both given good results in
jackson county. The former has given
the better results in the latter place.
Each has given better results in each
place than the Nilmorin.
In eastern Oregon beets may be left
in the ground quite late without seri.
Gus loss from second growth.
Beets for sugar production should not
be planted on alkali soils.
Beets may be allowed to grow much
larger here than in Germany and still
hold an excellent per cent of sugar.
The hill lands OF jackson county are
not we'll adapted to the industry.
The establishment of sugar factory
makes possible most excellent oppor-
tunity for high development of the
dairy industry. This is OF no mean
consequence when it is remembered
that all three of the localities which
present favorable conditions for the ill.,
dustry produce immense quantities of
alfalfa, and yet ship in dairy products
in large amounts. Why not produce
them at home and supply the neighbor.
ing sections?
The establishment of sugar factory
means also the development of large
fuel and lime industry.

Wealth in Black Sands.

1t has been several months since the

large New York firm has been taking
steps to encourage the manufacture of
this valuable product, for gaining
