Profit in Sugar Beets.

In Germany last year l,0S0, 256
acres were planted in sugar beets.
The tonnage produced was 1857
sol, and the raw sugar in pounds
l,S54, 399, the average yield Of beets
TO the acre was 1929 tons,
At present in the United States
the manufactures pay 81 to $3.50
per ton for sugar beets. This will
serve as a basis for Colorado far
mers upon which to figure pros
pective profits Assuming that
they may do as well as the Ger
mans, and that instead of raising
over twelve tons to the acre they
produce but ten, at the lower quo
tation mentioned they would re-
ceive forty dollars per acre for the
product, which would enable the
farmer to accumulate wealth very
rapidly.
The cost of planting and cultiva-
ton cannot be much more than
the expense for producing potatoes,
wheat or oats. If this be true, the
margin of profit ought to be sutii-
cient to satisfy the farmer The
farmers of strictly agricultural
states continue to raise twenty-five
cent corn and forty-cent wheat
Under no possible combination of
circumstances can they expect a
return approaching forty dollars
per acre.
The Colorado farmer who owns
land suitable for growing sugar
beets need seek no further for bet
ter opportunity to make money til

cally at his door, with immunity
from floods or drouth, he may be

'Have by some surgeon ShylOck on

do bleed to DEATH" People can bleed
to death. The loss of the blood weak
ems the body. 1t must follow that
gain of blood gives the body strength.
The strengthening effect of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
in large part due to it's action on the
Matchmaking glands and the increase
supply of pure, rich blood it produces.
1t is only when the blood is impOyer
ished and impure that disease finds a
soil in which to root. The 'DiscOvery"
purifies the blood and makes it an
tagonistic to disease. When the body
is emaciated the lungs are weak, and
there is obstinate lingering cough,
Golden Medical Discovery" puts the
body on a fighting footing against dis
ease. and so increases the vitality that
disease is thrown off, and physical

fertilizer required per acre, For our
own part, we purpose, in addition to
applying this amount of commercial
fertilizer to our crop, to rotate the
growing of cassava with the velvet
bean, and penning cattle on the lat
ter in the winter, planting the SAME
land with cassava the following year
Harvesting-From the foregoing it
will be seen that if care is given to
replanting vacant hills, cassava cul-
ture presents no difficulties until the
time to harvest it arrives. Whenever
any crop is raised on an extensive
scale, it always follows that the gen.
Jus of the makers of farm implements
is directed toward the perfecting of la
borsaving machines connected with
that crop, and we do not doubt that
that genius will soon provide an nipple
ment that will help us very much in
the harvesting of cassava. But for the
present we must depend upon primi-
tive methods. Those who have ever
taken cassava out of the ground will
know that it is the best pulled by
hand, and does not need actual dig
glng; and we propose prOvld'
ing tongs with which the plant
will be gripped and the dig
ger enabled to work from q
standing position, and we do not see
why a gang of men, who make this
work their business, should not be-
come very quick and expert, They
would be wherever digging was to be
done on a large enough acreage, and
could be hired by the farmer for the
time being to dig his crop, thus en-
abling him to harvest more cheaDly
than if he depended on green hands, to
be picked up in his own settlement.
