SUGAR BETS

Some large sugar beets, grown by
W. Foster near Alex. were exhibited in
Chickasha yesterday by F. +. Fergu-
son, agent Of the U. S. department Of
agriculture.
The beets were about foot long
ana MT. Ferguson says they will grow
much larger. Mr.. Foster has only a
small patch Of them, growing them
only as an experiment
Sugar beets grown in this section
have never been tested for saccharine
qualities, but Mr. Ferguson thinks
there is probably too much moisture
in the atmosphere here to make the
best sugar-producing beets. How
ever, he says twenty-five tons Of these
beets can be grown to the acre, and
they make fine feed.

Miss CASTOR is in her New York
