Twenty-three farmers who delivered
their seasons crop of sugar beets last
fall to the Billings Sugar Company
received an average price per acre of
over 500.
These beets were raised on land valued
at SIS per acre, going to show what
Montana land will do when it is prop
erly worked.
Throughout the Yellowstone Valley,
in the Billings and Clark's Fork district,
farmers received an average price of
$3.50 per acre, total cost of production
averaging S35 to $40 per acre. On the
Huntley Irrigation Project the farmers
received an average price of 1924.
This latter showing is most remark
able when it is considered that the
Huntley land is new, having been cul-
tivated only three seasons, no oppor-
tunity having been offered for fertiliz-
ing with alfalfa or other heterogeneous
plants, which assist in beet culture. The
work here was not an experiment, as a
total of 400 acres were grown.

Here the farmer and his family generally
attend to their own crops, their wages
being counted as part of the cost of
production. After deducting all expenses,
including their wages, these settlers have
received a net profit of about $25 per
acre on land which cost them $35 per
acre, with payments distributed over a
period of 10 years. without interest or
taxes. One of their number raised 3l.8
acres of beets last year for which he

of over $50 per acre, considerably more
