vation that the average yield OF fif-

to twenty tons per acre, a matter OF
an additional profit of $25. This
theory is app rsntly sustained by the
experiments being conducted at the
Agricultural college, where thirty
beet tracts are under test. One plot
Of ground planted with selected
home grown seed, yielded at the rate
of forty tons per acre. Many OF the
farmers are prepar ng to grow their
own beet seed next campaign. In
stead of paying Is cents per pound
for seed grown in Germany, costing
them $2.25 per acre for seeding,
they will let small plot OF the best
beets go to seed and fail them out.
The beet plant is very prolific in
yielding seed, one sixth of an acre
furnishing plenty Of seed for thirty

tories will be built in Colorado is
that the soil, sunshine and irrigation
are the three main things that en-
able the growers to produce beets
which yield more to the acre and are
richer in sugar content than can be
