What other benefit will the farmer
derive from growing sugar beets and
thereby helping to secure a beet sugar
factory Directly and Indirectly. a
beet sugar factory gives employment
to nearly 1000 people. Ii therefore
means greater demand consequently
better prices for vegetables fruit or
other crops. Furthermore, il means
that farming land worth $40 an acre

be worth ! times as much, or ~. so.

As this increased value of $G2. 80

whole farm would be planted in sugar

be az first only one quarter of the 500. 50

lower than the increased
value OF farming lands in the lower
peninsula where sugar beet factories
are now in operation.
Finally, the most important question
FOR every farmer to consider is whether
the sugar beet crop is harder on the /
soil than other crops As sugar con
tains no fertilizing elements, no
nitrogen, potash or phospahtes, IL can
not exhauts any soil. Sugar is simply
composed OF carbon, oxygen and hy-
irogen, all elements taken from the
air through the action Of water and
sunshine. The farmer therefore can
'sll ever 20 many tons of sugar without
in the least exhausting his soil As
