The Bear River valley has made its

little over Is tons per acre. The fall
rains had partially the same effect in
this valley as in the lower valleys, but
not quite so much. for the reason that
the soil is of a clay loan and a lfttl,

will say that the Oregon Short Line
have given very much better service
this yearin handling our beet crop than
heretofore; in fact, there has been very
little complaint from the farmers this
season, who shipped over these lines.
We asked the farmers to silo 10 per
cent of their crop, and most of them
responded cheerfuly; While there were
some exceptions, there naturally would
be, this being the first time that this
has been required. But we have learn
ed 4 great lesson this fall in inaugur-
atng this policy, as when some beets
We're sliced they were very dirty; in
some cases carrying Is and 90 per
cent dirt and they are being delivered
to us today with only from to per
cent Dirt the unloading. piling, and re-
loading have left the dirt on the farm,
where it properly belongs.
The beet contract provides that the
company will pay 25c per ton addition
al for all beets sliced. but where people
haul them off their land, cover them
over well as we suggested, the company
have paid these farmers soc per ton
additional, as we believe in putting u
premium on good work i'll handling
the crop.
/ take it that the time in not far dis
tant when this Bear River valley will
produce 100000 tons of bects annually.
We farmers all knew that this is the
best paying crop that we can raise,
and the excellent water system, togeth-

cultural superintendent OF the COM
pany, states that the best tonnage will

the beets running highest in sugar
content VIII come from Lewiston
first. Logan second. and Ogden third.
Tho farmers have had high tonnage
on the whole, the Ogden district
leading the state with an average
of 1914 tons of beets to the acre.
Speaking of the season as whole.
Mr.. Pingree states that there were
some drawbacks, largely caused by
the cold dry spring, which prevented
some of the seed from coming up
until very late. and as rule such
beets did not do as well as the others.
The heavy rains in the fall, also made
the harvest very dirty, which naturally
increased the tare on the beets deli
vered and some farmers were dissat-
isfied on this account, but the COM
pany endeagorcd to show all such

sit is very gratifying to note the ex-
ccllent results attained by the greater
number of farmers who have grown
beets for the Sugar City factory during
this year.
I'VE should have been glad to have
included in the list below. q number OF
other growers whose crops have been
equal to those listed, and some OF them
possibly better, but have not as yet
completed the delivery of their crops,
having sliced great many of their
beets which will be delivered later.
Most of our growers, l think, now
are converted to the fact that it pays
exceedingly well to manure their farms.
whenever it is possible for them to do
so and can secure the manure. as 5000
to 5000 pounds of well rotted manure
will produce at least an extra ton of
sugar beets We are also glad to see
number of our growers feeding cat
tie and sheep on their beet land dur
ing the season of the year when it is
either dry or frozen, and taking them
off during the muddy weather SO as
not to injure the soil. In this way the
soil is made exceedingly rich, as has
been demonstrated. Our growers are
also becoming acquainted with the fact
that alfalfa and clover are fine fertil-
tzing plants to turn into the soil dur
ing the summer season. so they Will
decay before the beet planting in the
following season; Very fali, results have
also been obtained by cutting Off the
alfalfa Just below the surface of the
ground and exposing it to the elements

ENYJHILE the record OF beets Sliced at
w the Blackfoot plant shows that the
factory could have worked many more
beets than 1t did, the outlook for 1908 is
much better. as under tho spur OF an
urgent request from tho Sugar COM
pany, committees are now at work Sc
curing pledges Of increased acreage
next year. Something like 5000 tons Of
beets were worked this year at the
Blaclifoot plant which We're shipped
down from the fields near Shelley,
which should properly have gone TO
the Idaho Falls plant.
Many OF tho Blackfoot growers made
excellent individual records, as the fol-
lowing shows:

POOR SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS.

u i.
/ will say that the farmers in Sanpete
and Sewer counties, along the line Of
the Rio Grande railway. have been
very seriously handicapped by not be-
ing able to get cars TO move their
beets at the time Of harvesting, and no
doubt have sustained a very serious
loss by reason Of the Railway company
not handling their crop in anything
like systematic manner; many farm
ers have had their beots laying on the
fields and in their wagons from one to
three weeks. waiting for cars, and the
beets have wasted considerably, having
frozen and thawed until the sugar COM
pany has sustained a very serious loss;
great proportion of this crop has de-
Perforated at least 81 per ton, before it
reached the sugar factory, and unless
better service can be guaranteed to
these people in moving their beet crops,
there is no doubt that very few beets

Rio cirande Western railway In the

a pcrintendcnt Of the Utah Idaho
J. sugar company. contributes the
following interesting items:
The outlook in the spring for the beet
crop up until about the middle of May
was very dtscouraging but the rain
that came from that on until about the
middle OF June brought the beets up
and gave very good stands pretty
much all ovor the state,
Notwithstanding the fact that we
had a very short season, the Lehi dis
trtcts. namely, Salt Lake. Utah, Wa
satch. sanpete and SEWER counties
have harvested from 10000 acres 10000
tons of beets. or an average Of close
10 10 tons per acre for every acre plant
cd. The excessive amount of rain that
fell commencing about Sept. 10 until
about Oct. 20, retarded the ripening
OF the beets, as is always the case un-
der such conditions.
The sugar contents Of the beets this
year are not 50 good as last year, from
the fact that the ripening season OF
1907 was one of the most ideal years
we have had since we have been in the
business, as little or no rain fell from
Sept. 10 to about the middle of Novcm-
Der, when the beets We're all harvested
or stored away. We find that 4 great
percentage OF our farmers. through
careful and close cultivation, and Sc
lecting the best land, usually harvest
from 10 to 20 tons per acre and thor,

by our growers during this season, and
the preparation of their sol! for the
growing Of their crop has been very
gratifying, but there is yet considerable
room for Improvement along all these
particular lines, at least with Il great

doubt be made in the future; great
results viii certainly follow. No doubt
