But the idea is to keep things nov ing until planting time. The company really needs to insure it o successful season. ten thousand acres for this years planting. It is not worrying about future years for it is confident of what can be demonstrated and that after this year the farmers will be fall ing over themselves to get beet seed into the ground. Naturally they are a. little timid this year even though there isn't a weak point in the argu- ments that guarantee them success.
 The work at the factory progresses nicely and yesterday six large steel trusses were put in place. The con- struction will be prosecuted with vigor and the company gives every assur- ance that the plant will be in readiness by May 1st, 1909. when the suSar-mak- ing season begins.

SUGAR BEET CONTRACTS
Progress of Work Being Done By
 Expert Agriculturalists

L. Myers manager of the Eastern Sugar company. was seen yesterday concerning the progress of the work of enlisting the farmers in the enterprise of raising sugar beets. He says the re- suits on the south side are the most flattering and he hopes the north side farmers will not let the southsiders outdo them in taking advantage of their opportunities; especially when the sugar factory is to be located on the north side of the river.
 Messrs. Johnson, c. II. Utting and A. Klanow. the agriculturists of the company, have been very busily engag ed for some time in interviewing the farmers and MT. Myer has been assist ing them all he could. The company has arranged for tools for the use of farmers in cultiVating beets and two carload of seed are now on the way here.
Arizona republican., 1903-10-18

The planting season will begin Jan uary 1st and the agriculturists will not only superintend the planting of the seed but will be on hand to advise respecting the cultivation Of the crops. thus giving the farmers the benefit of the very next thing to personal eX- perience in beet culture. In fact their advice is better than the experience of an ordinary beet grower even in d beet land. for it has covered various con ditions and all kinds of soil and cli- mate, together with the fact that they have had the advantage of scientific study of the question.
 MT. Myers said the farmers would never fully appreciate what this fac tory means to them till after it has been running a year. They expect to grind up 100000 tons of beets the first year. which at a conservative estimate. means the distribution of S460000 among the beet growers a source of revenue that is entirely new to the country and that will mean pocket money for some people who have hith- erto been short. The beauty of the crop is that the market is guaranteed. It IS rot like raising some other things that have to be peddled out even after the harvest
 Asked about the acreage being final ly contracted for planting MT. Myers said that thus far Tempe and vicinity had taken hold better than elsewhere in the valley. About thousand acres have been contracted for in that vi cinity. The tracts are not many of them of great size but nearly all the farmers are willing to devote some acreage to what is of course a little experimental to them, and it is sure thing that every man who can will in crease his acreage the succeeding year.
 In the neighborhood of Mesa City about eight hundred acres have been contracted for and the Mesa farmers are all enthusiastic. Other tracts will undoubtedly be added before the planting season begins.
 A large acreage has also been secur- ed under the Maricopa and Grand ca nals on this side of the river where the most work has been done by the experts. The area under the Salt River valley canal as yet has been canVassed but little. The most favorable returns from that section are confidently eX- pected.
 Under the Arizona. canal there is a still larger acreage, though figures at this time are not available. The nota- who make contracts have the courage to make larger ones. Some of them run from 40 to 100 acres each.
