Beet Samples Are Being Received and Tests Show the
Harvest Will Be Ready About Oct. 1

October ) is the date set for the
opening of the Rocky Ford factory
of the American Beet Sugar Co.
operations, according to present
plans. Harvest will start about
the first of that month and as soon
after as beets are available in the
company bins the starting whistle
will announce the turning of the
first wheels of the 1911 sugar
making campaign.
From the beets harvested and
delivered during October pay
checks will he sent out about the
middle of November, and at that
time there will be a distribution
of at least 100000 among the
farmers of the valley from this
factory. Payroll amounts will
make several thousands additional,
all of which will assist materially
in the prosperity of the Arkansas
valley.
During the past week samples
from beet fields of different sec
tons of the valley have been re-
ceived at the factory for tests, to
ascertain how the crop is progress
ing in regards to sugar content.
The sugar content this year seems
to be good, and may run over last
years returns, although it is early
to make any definite estimates.
The operation of the factory
this year will be the first cam
paign at the factory under Man
ager Frederick Noble, who took
charge of the Rocky Ford factory
as manager last spring. Prior to
that time the genial sugar man

he has been popular manager is
attested by the thousands OF

is noteworthy that in rs per cent OF
the sales the price brought by the
land is from So to $40 an acre in ex-
cess of the appraised valuation.
The land board is not required to
sell any of the state land. 1t may re-
ject any application, but it seldom ex-
ercises this prerogative. because the
sooner the state lands are disposed OF
to individual settlers the better for
the development OF the state. 1t will
mean more farmers, more manufac-
turing and more cities. On the other
hand, the state derives no revenue
from the land it holds. The land I'M
der private ownership, when fully
paid for. will yield taxes for the bene-
fit of the counties and the state.
The unavoidable cost of purchas-
ing stat lands in any quantity is
$3.50. An example has been given
of a person purchasing eighty acres.
but one may buy lesser or greater
amount, according to his ability.
While the land board does not favor
applications for more than 100 acres
by one person, yet at the auction sale
the bidding is open to all, so that
one may purchase thousands OF acres
ii he is willing to outbid his rivals,
