FDr ho .x;+ oE ALT e. Lo
vile Beet Sugar Co. He will make
canvass of the farmers and hopes to get
nearly every farmer to put in at least
small crop of beets the coming summer.
Farmers contemplating raising beets
will please call for and get the contracts
now at the store. Let US at least put in
a portion of our land to d crop that we
can realize money on ia the fall so we
will not be tied up, as we now are, by
wholly depending on the tobacco crop.
We find the main objection with most of
the farmers raising beets is the hauling
in the busy time 10 the fall. When the
crop is harvested, put the beets into
piles and cover with few inches of dirt
and throw little straw or whatever
comes the handiest on the pile (which
makes it handy getting the beets OUT,
and then when we have time we can
draw the crop. The company will pay
% cents ton extra to the farmer stor-
ing his beets this way Another good
feature about this crop is that the farm
er, after his crop is fully under way, can
get his money advanced from the com
pany on his crop while it is still grow
ing. The farmer who does not wish to
haul his beets to GAINESVILLE can ship
them from his nearest shipping point for
25 cents per ton, amount being deducted
by the factory at time of payment for
beets.
