That the sugar beet season is being
| launched under most auspicious con
ditiOnS is tile statement OF the men who
are working in the field for the Michi-
gan Sugar Company. The absence of
high water this spring and the warm
weather in March has advanced the
season month or more ahead of the
conditions which existed in 1909. In a
few weeks possibly next week the
first planting will be done. The ground
is, in most localities, soft and ready for
the seeds. The acreage that is contract
ed for this year is fully as large as that
of year ago. The acreage contracts
don't speak the exact amount of beets
that will be grown but it is guage of
the attitude of the farmers toward the
crop.
