Conditions for Beet Culture Look Good to Expert
 Investigators
Capitalists Secure Tract For Expert mental Planting and Announce That Big Factory Probably Win be Moved From New York to This Region.

A million dollar beet sugar factory for Fl Centro is one of the bright prospects which may become a cer- tainty within a year. Within the past week the prospect for this industry has become reasonably sure, and the plans have been laid for systematic work toward this result.
 When w. F. Holt came to Imperial Valley in his private car, Francisco" several days ago, he was accompanied by men particularly interested in the project of manufacturing beet sugar in Imperial Valley. This was the sec ond trip of these investigators, and when they departed, on Wednesday morning, they declared themselves better pleased with the outlook than with anything that has presented it. self to their notice in the entire West. They freely stated that there is a strong reason to believe a large beet sugar factory for the valley will be the ultimate outcome of their inves- tigations.
 In the party were C. H. Perkins and Fred Steigewauld, of New York City, and an expert who has had wide experience in the Colorado beet sugar factories. They made trips to many parts of the valley, examined different conditions of soil and se- cured samples for analysis The re- suit was that they have engaged a tract of ten acres, lying along the line of the Holton Interurban Rail- road, between Fl Centro and Melo- land, on which careful experimental plantings of beets will be made every month for an entire year. Each plant ing will be brought to maturity and tested for it's sugar content. Problems of irrigation as affecting beet cul- ture in Imperial Valley will also re- ceive close attention, so that author itative information may be dissemin- ated among the ranchers when they are called upon to plant sugar beets on a large commercial scale
 Besides the ten-acre experimental tract, which will be under the super vision of an expert beet-grower sent here from the Colorado beet districts, about a dozen tracts will be planted on ranches in the vicinity of Fl Cen tro, under the general supervision of this expert, but cared for by the ranchers themselves, so that results readily determined.
 The men who just visited the val ley are heavily interested in a large beet sugar factory at present located in the vicinity of Syracuse, New York. Beet growing in that section has almost been abandoned, because of soil conditions which render it un- profitable. and it becomes necessary for the factory to seek new Ioca- tion. The great Imperial Valley, with its thousands of acres of fertile land, dpPSaiS CO IhSHl' duu II Iue dHdIy SlS of valley-grOwn beets produces the re- suit of high grade of sugar content, then the factory will come as speedily as it can be moved.
 The moving of this plant would re- quire a long train of freight cars, as it represents an outlay of more than one million dollars.

SUGGESTIONS FOR BETTER ROAD
BY r. III. Dolve, Assistant Prof. OF
Farm Mechanics.

In order to get good roads we must
change our system of road manage
ment. It Is necessary to repair them
as often as their condition indicates
it, and with earth roads that is after
every rain.
For this purpose the split log drag
is the best tool yet devised. 1t fills
up the depressions and puddles the
surface of the muddy road, making
in time water proof covering that
insures good roads under all condi-
lions, and under the heaviest traf-
fic.
This method of working the roads
calls for an abandonment of the pres
ent system of working out the taxes,
and for the employment of man
whose business it is to keep the
roads in repair at all times Of the
year. 1t is safe to say that but one
fourth of the u miles of road in the
ordinary township is required to be
kept in prime condition. The cost
of maintaining this is within reach
of the pocketbook Of the ordinary
community, and by getting the work
done at the right time the returns
for the money expended are much
larger than they are where the Work
Is done by the old methods.
