Farmers are inclined to look too
much at the element of cost, and say
that $50 is snug sum OF money to
pay: for producing an acre of any.
thing; but they should consider this
as they would any other business
proposition. Will the profits justify
such an outlay? If so, the proposition
to raise sugar beets is a good one.
Before the farmer can produce fat.
tened steers to any great extent he
must make an investment in the
stockers. And is it not fact that,
after making such investment, he is
not nearly so highly compensated as
he would be if he had made the same
investment in labor and expense nec-
essary to produce sugar beets?
Doubtless the experience of each farm
er himself will be the best answer to
this question. may make the same il
lustration with the dairy COW. Be-
fore he can go very extensively into
this business the dairyman must first
buy the cows and build his barn. He
does this because he figures that he
is going to be gamer thereby, and
that is the one basis upon which the
farmer should settle the question of
raising sugar beets.
II have studied very carefully the
history of the starting of all the fac
tories in this country, and without ex.
ception it has been difficult to get the
farmers in the beginning to contract
TO raise the beets. but after an ex.
perience of one or two years it ceases
to be question as to who can be in.
duced to sign the contracts, and be-
comes question among the farmers
as to who can secure the contracts.
"Another beneficial feature of the
sugar factory in community is that
an outlay of $40 to produce an acre
of sugar beets means a large outlay
for labor in the vicinity, as the large
expense of producing beets is for la
Dor. In case of a town of several
thousand inhabitants and the com.
munity surrounding, it is a fact that
everyone who wants work cansget it,
