SUGAR BEETs.
How Beet Growers Make Money il
the Fowler District.

An article which appeared in Sun
days News from its correspondent at
Fowler gives some very interesting
facts in connection with the sugar beet
crop of 1902 in that section Of the val
ley
The vicinities of Msnzanola, Fowler
and Pueblo embrace an acreage of
beets amounting TO ll29 acres, and
from that acreage total of 10. DOL
tons of beets We're shipped to the fac
tory at Rocky Ford The average
iest for sugar for the entire acreage
was IN per cent. which means
price of 81 &c 2.3 ton This means
that the farmers of that section re-
ceived an aggregate of $40, ess for the
crop, or an average of $43 81 per acre
In figuring the returns of the crop
there are several items to be consider
ed besides the money received from
the factory. Among these should be
mentioned beets fed by the growers to
stock, the beet pulp returned to grow
ers from the factory and the value of
beet tops, either a. fertilizer or as
feed.
The total amount fed to stock at
these three points is, by careful esti-
mates, fonnd to be 800 tons. or "a, 200
worth of beets. These have been fed
to cattle and hogs, and yield retarns
equal to those received if put on the
market.
The grower is allowed by his con
tract "A return of 30 per cenf of the
weight of his beets in beet pulp.
This product is at low estimate
worth 80 cents per ton as feed, more
than it costs the farmer to get it back
to his ranch Upon this basis, it re-
presents a total valae for the acreage
covered in this article of SO 68S
Beet tops left lying on the ground
have fertilizing value of 81 per acre,
and they iind a ready market at from
81 % to 81. 80 per acre for winter past
ura2e. If the grower will deliver
them they are in demand at 81 per ton
for use in feeding dairy cows Four
tons of beets will furnish IA ton of
tops Taking this latter figure as
basis for estimation, the beet tops of
the entire section amonnt in value to
So. .639.
Combining all these values the 1923
acres of beets have produced crop
worth s5s, or s52 per acre.

election to Congress. Mr.. Kltchin's
many friends and admirers outside Of
his own district will be glad to hear
this and will feel that it ls as it should
be. He is one of the most popular

would be a great error in the Demo-
Gratis OF the Fifth district to think for
a moment OF putting any other man
against him. His usefulness will even
be greater as the years go by. He il
one of the purest men in public life in
the country and his services are there
fore valuable not alone as a representa-
tive of North Cardinals interest but as
a representative of the interests of the
people in other parts of the country.
The Winston correspondent said
cit is now generally conceded in this
section that Congressman W. w. Kltch-
in will he reaominated without Opposi-

there is not u Democrat in the district
that can defeat him Tor the nOmina-

1t is known that some of the leading
mem bers OF the party opposed making
a nomination last year until they dis

Gratis were anxious fer some one to run

A SERIOUS BLUNDER.

It has been published that IN the
dispensary election in Weldon some
days ago the dispensary was lost by
ten votes.
As an advocate of the adjustment of
saloons, we would have preferred to
see the dispensary established in Wei
don, but Ut that we do not write now.
1T We have been correctly informed,
some people in Weldon have made a
serious blunder. It was stated before
the election there that a number OF
negroes had been registered tor the
purpose of voting in the dispensary.
AS we understood It, these negroes
we're solicited by white men to register
and vote. Saying nothing about on
which side these negroes voted, if it is
true that white men were instrument
al in having them register and vote, we
say that we regard it as serious biun-
der.
Halifax county led the fight five
years ago in the great struggle to free
the people from the power OF the ne
gro vote, and 1t does seem that it ought
to have been the last place in the State
to ask for the negro's vote one way or
another. Perhaps there may have
been some error in our information,
but If it was as we understood it, then
we hold to our position that it was a
serious blunder tor white men to use
the negro vote for the purpose of car.
rying an election, snd especially 40 in
Halifax county.
