The Way 1t Is Done.

Land that we used but d few
years ago up along the Arkansas
river valley to Craze our cattle
on. is now producing Sl25 worth
OF sugar beets to the acre eact
year." remarked w. w. Reynolds
OF Holly, to a Kansas City news
paper. with the spread of irri-
CATION the grazing district has
been reduced, and it is going to
become still smaller. Land along
the Arkansas up there is now sell
ing for SIPS to $I5o an acre.
That looks very high, but when
the farmers can clear up close to
SIS an acre each year after pay
ing all expenses it looks cheap.
The beauty about the beet bust
ness is that it is just matter OF
how many tons the farmer can
raise to the acre The price for
tie beets is made before he plants
them. which relieves him of all
anxiety as to the price at harves:
time. No matter how many are
raised, the price is just the same"
