MONEY IN SUGAR BEETS.
The Chance of Life Time for Salt
 River Valley Farmers.
Plant sugar beets."

That is the advice of J. Ernest Walker, and he said it only after going to the trouble of making an investiga tion so he could tell why.
 Mr and Mrs. Walker returned home recently from summer visit in south ern California, which they enjoyed greatly. MT. Walker probably knows as much as anybody about Salt river valley lands, and while in California he took occasion to visit the OXnard sugar factory and learn something about the manufacture of sugar And while doing so he viewed the enterprise from the standpoint of the farmer, for it is the development of the country he desires, and he wanted to satisfy him. self whether Arizona farmers should raise beets or something else. Going from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles, they stopped off at Montalvo and made the side trip to OXnard, for Oxnard like Phoenix, is on a branch railroad and not a main line, so it compares fairly in the matter of freights.
 At Oxnard he met J. w. Rose, as sistant manager of the American Beet Sugar company: and was shown the whole operation of sugar-making from the beets in the farm wagon to the drying house to which the sugar passes after it's manufacture, and which is hotter than Phoenix in the summertime The harvesting season was then at it's height and it was the best time of the year to see the plant. Everything is reduced to a minimum of expense in sugar manufacture as indicated by the first handling of the beets. Before loa ding the six-mule wagon in the field a net is spread over the wagon box. Arrived at the factory the tackle from a crane is attached to rings in the net, and with one jerk the wagon is un- loaded. The beets are dropped into the water and carried by hydraulic pres sure into the factory, being washed by the time they get there. Then they are hoisted to the slicer, then ground, pressed, etc. After that the details Of manufacture are too numerous for ac- curate description at this time, and u.ther that is not the interesting part of the story. That comes in getting back to the farmers end of it.
 The land in the vicinity of Oxnard ranges in value from s2OO to $500 per

 San Diego. he thinks, is a nice town. but not lively one, as it lacks young blood. In proportion to population there are more old people there than any where, who have settled down to spend their remaining days, the clim ate being healthful and attractive.
 But respecting Los Angeles the story is directly opposite. It is full of young people who are there to make mone.J. and they are making it. Los Angeles is not only enjoying a rapid growth but is looking for still greater things. and many of the Angelanos predict that 60,000 tourists will visit that town this winter.

that failure, at least three thousand
dollars from defective or injured
seed.
These are but a few samples of
what we have lost from sorry seeds.
Then again, the varieties differ so
much in productiveness, and in quail
ity when produced. This is true of
every crop we grow. Some cotton
makes fine lint; some produces more
lint. On the same average the best
varieties will yield more than double
the money value per acre than the
common kinds. The same is true of
corn and more emphatically true of
oats and wheat. It is true that the
yield in England nearly doubles the
yield on similar soils in the United
States. The cause is said to be due
entirely to the care in selecting
seed.
Common peaches are not worth
gathering and packing and shipping
and handling, while fine varieties
bring large profits. This is true of
all fruits from oranges down to
Strawberries.
ROCKFORD cantelopes bring good
prices, when ordinary cantalOupes
will not pay freight.
SO now, in the beginning of the
year, study up the seed question, de-
eide what crops you will plant, then
what varieties are best for that crop,
and then be sure to get sound seed of
the variety you select.
A few dollars spent in getting the
best seed will be money we'll and
wisely spent. Being a little stingy
at this point may cost you very dear
before the end of the year.
The cost of planting and working
and gathering and selling are much
the same for any variety. But re-
ceipts, when the sale is made, will be
quite different.
One farmer may come to town
with a wagon load of Bermuda yams
and find no sale for them, or get 25
cents per bushel. The same day his
neighbor may bring a load of Pump
kin or Georgia yams and get $1.OO
per bushel. There is a good deal of
difference in the two crops and the
financial condition of the neighbours
all from the seed.
The PAGAN trees in your grove may
all bear, but the fruit of one tree may
go begging at ten cents per pound.
while that from another sells readily
at fifty cents per pound.
Get good varieties, sound seed and
well-matured seed. Also have refer
ence to the proper seasons. Plant
early varieties early, and late varie.
ties late.

The Tobacco Prospect.

bacco growers have had a convention
for the purpose of devising means
for protecting their interests against
the two combines which have pooled
their interests for their mutual adj
vantage. During the past season
the competition between the Ameri-
can and the Imperial tobacco COM
panies resulted in the growers get
ting fine prices for their crops, and
the tobacco growers YER in fine
spirits. Late in the season these
two companies came to an under
standing and agreed not to compete
as they were doing, but each to take
it's own part of the business. Prices
for tobacco at once declined. The
recent meeting was for the purpose
of devising some by which
prices can be maintained at a re-
~munerative figure to the growers. II
is feared that the profitable crop OF
the past season will lead to too x
tensive planting this year and that
therefore prices will fall below a
profitable figure. Efforts are to be
made to reduce the acreage in tobac-
co, but like all such efforts they are
certain to fail. Human nature is
the anne with tobacco growers as
with other farmers and the difficulty
in securing a general reduction of
the area arises from the impossible
ity of getting all to stick together.
Men in other lines of business will
unite and stand together, but expe-
rience has shown that farmers rare
ly will. A man gets an idea that
there will be a general reduction in
the area planted, and at once he
makes up his mind that the prices,
therefore, will be good, and he viii
get in an extra large crop SO as to be
in on top. Then hundreds of others
come to the same conclusion and the
area is increased instead of dimin-
ished. Years ago, when cotton was
down to a very low figure, there we're
strong efforts made to get the farm
ers to plant less, but the effort was
of little use, ard only the hard expe-
rience of low prices got the cotton
farmers to grow more of other and
food crops. There is no doubt that
if the area planted in the bright to-
bacco district was greatly diminish
ed this year, prices would be more
r~emunerative than it is likely they
will be with a largely increased
planting, for Trust or no Trust, the
law of supply and demand will get
in it's work when the country at
large is so prosperous and the de-
mand for the manufactured article
so great. The trusts will get their
innings only when the increased sup
ply is more than the demand for the
manufactured article. It would be
wise for the tobacco growers in the
bright tobacco belt to plant less to-
bacco this year, but we have little
hope that they will do so, for we
farmers, as a rule, learn only in the

SEED SELECTION.

ROOQ FARMING OOOu Lei GL11A11S,
good tillage, prompt harvesting-all
count for nothing if the right kind
of seed be not il the ground. This
subject is very entertainingly dis
cussed in the current number of the
Atlanta Cultivator by DR.. j. B. Hun
nicutt, an occasional correspondent
of The Progressive Farmer. He
says:
This is a new year. This may and
should mean a good deal to everyone
of us. If we have studied the les
sons of the past as we came along
life's pathway, we are wiser to-day
than ever we were before.
Years of experience, observation
and study have taught us lessons
from which we can and should get
profit. Among these we should have
learned something of the value of
good seed. We may do all the rest
and fail because we plant the wrong
seed.
No amount of previous prepara-
ton, or high fertilization or superior
culture make a gourd vine bear wa
termelons. Neither can they make
an inferior seed produce a full crop
of corn, cotton or wheat.
We once knew a farmer to prepare
with great care a field and SOW it in
wheat. 1t came and grew we'll and
ripened, but the crop was not worth
harvesting. There was so much cookie
in it that it could not be used for
making bread at all. And we have
seen many similar failures from
cheat and other noxious weeds.
But if we plant pure seeds-and
this is a very important point-we
may still lose the profit we expect by
using seeds of inferior varieties.
We once made extra preparations
for an Irish potato crop and raised
the finest crop of vines we ever saw
grow. But when we harvested them
we did not get ten bushels per acre.
We had planted the wrong variety,
one not at all suited to this climate.
From the same cause we grew the
finest crop of improved rutabaga
tops we ever knew. They were waist
high. But there was not a decent
turnip in the whole field. We knew
two of our friends caught in that
same trap last year.
Soon after the war thousands upon
thousands of acres of corn were
planted all over the South, with fine
looking grains that had been bought
up North. The whole thing was a
failure. The corn was out of it's lati-
tude and made little dwarf stalks and
a few nubbins; not a good ear in the
whole crop. "Lincoln corn" as it
was called was a real curse to the
hungry South: In 1866, we planted
sixty acres in cotton,-cOtton was
selling at fifty cents per pound. Our
cotton came up beautifully. We
plowed and hoed it. There was great
promise. But then it. began to die.
