The past season proved to the far
mers of this vicinity that corn can be
raised. matured and produce good
fodder. Now the question is being
asked whether we can raise beets for
the sugar industry. During tho past
season MIR. Barkley raised upon dry
land, sugar beets which weighed 3 "a
pounds each. Government statistics
show that the average crop Of beets
Is l" tons per acre and also that i
large part Of the beets raised are wat
cred from wells. Water is found in
to Is feet from the surface. Beets
will bring $40 per ton, and with sew
eral acres on each farm in this Sec
ton sown to beets there will be a
gross earning of Sl25 an acre, and
this on an investment of about $500
for harvesting machinery. Every ef-
fort will we trust be made the com.
ing summer to have large acreages
sown to beets as we'll as corn. With
the free seed proposition offered by
government no one should miss SOW
ing an acre ut least. There will al
ways be Il demand for beets for stock
feeding at least. The farmer will
find ready market even though the
freight rates should be 50 high rs to
make shipping Improbable. When
the community proves that they have
the product in large enough quanti-
ties the freight will be eliminated by
the erection of factory at home.
