SUGAR BEET CULTURE AND ITS EFFECTS ON
AGRICULTURE
BY b. F. ARENDT

those who erected factories. AL
ers planted the beets and at the end
of two years the French factories
produced 100000 pounds of sugar
Observing that the sugar beets in
even a greater extent than had tur-
nips in England German economists
used every effort to induce their
farmers to plant sugar beets. Their
efforts failed as they had failed with
turnips. Finally the government
concluded to follow Napoleon's plan
and force the farmers to raise the
beets. Immediately their sugar
industry began to expand and other
European nations adopted similar
plan. Since adopting this fiscal policy
Germany has produced 54,000,000
tons of sugar valued at $4.720 0.O00,-
900 and now exports sugar to the
value of $50,000.000 year.
To build up this industry, it per-
haps has cost Germany as much in
protective duties as in export boun-
ties, but even though it has, the in
creased yield of other crops each
year, owing to the introduction OF
sugar beet culture more than repays
the entire expense, which was spread
over a period OF sixty-three years.
Thanks to the sugar beet, Ger

The supreme court decided last
week that the legislature can, at
its own discretion, nullify the state
referendum law by inserting a
clause in bill declaring that its
enactment is necessary. for the
preservation Of the public peace,
health and safety. The first vote
on a saving clause following this
decision occurred in the senate on
Friday. The clause was inserted
in the highway commission bill on
second reading by vote Of "a TO

knows the declaration in the saw

OF the statement under the court
decision is immaterial.

Great Britain has the distinction
OF being the first country in modern
times to introduce root culture in
rotation with cereal crops as a means
of increasing the latter. For a
hundred years the basis OF British
agriculture has been the turnip. In
1905 Thaer, the great English agri-
culture economist wrote a book on
a result British farmers increased
their paintings of roots from year to
year, until now they grow 100000
acres of hoed roots, principally tur-
nips in rotation with 6,500,000 acres
of cereal crops, which accounts for
their heavy yield per acre.
Thaers work was translated and
placed in the hands Of German
farmers and for many years German
agricultural economists tried to in
duce them to adopt Thaer's meth
DDS, but in vain. Two objections
defeated all attempts in this direc-
ton. First, it required deep plow-
ing; second, it meant the introduc-
tion of a crop which in itself pos
sessed but little money value, had
to be fed instead of sold and was
even less profitable than the crops
they were already growing.
Meanwhile Napoleon's scientist
had discovered the indirect value of
sugar beets when grown in rotation
with cereal crops and on March 49,,
1911, the French emperor dictated
a note to his minister of the interior
instructing him to see that 10000
acres of sugar beets were planted
in the different sections the follow
ing season and that the proper Of
ficials be appointed to see that his
demands were complied with. He
then appropriated 100000 francs
with which to establish schools Of
instructions to be given in bonus to

buying our land and they become
actual residents, that the results tn
be derived from intensive farming,
the increased population, and the
immense sums of foreign money
brought to this community would
make this the most prosperous agri-
cultural district in the entire Rocky
Mountain region.
With market for good farming
land, there is always profit for the
land owner, and there should be
some plan devised to secure a pur-
chaser for any land that is offered
for sale.
l have recently talked with land
owners who would like to sell part
of their holdings, and they are will
ing to sell at prices which l know
are about one-half the price asked
in many other valleys, and yet they
cannot sell because buyers are not
coming to this valley
We all know this condition exists,
and if we will face it and adopt some
plan to interest buyers, l believe it
will do more to advance the
financial interests and prosperity of
the people of this valley than any
other one thing we could do at this
time.
If the farmers and business men
would unite on a proposition of this
kind, it would give buyers confidence
in their investments, and would be
of great assistance to the real estate
dealers.
This valley is not an exception to
any other farming district as regards
different qualities of land, but not an
acre should be sold at fictitious
values or misrepresented in the least
to land seekers. The valley has
thousands of acres of land just as
good and just as productive as the
sun shines upon, and this land
should sell at the same high prices
as the good land brings in other val
leys, and it is our fault if we lie
down and let this opportunity pass
to advance our own interests.
The healthful and delightful eli
mate; abundance of water for irri-
CATION; soft water for domestic pur-
poses; many artesian wells; smooth
fertile land; abundant yields of all
crops: beautiful surroundings, and
as progressive lot of people as can
be found anywhere, all assist in
making the San Luis valley a most
interesting place in which to live,
and during the great advancement
and development which is taking
place, will prove an unusually profit
able locality for all who locate and
make their investments here.
A hundred farms should be sold
to new settlers during the year 1913,
and this can easily be accomplished
IL we will do our part. The buyers
are lust as anxious to find good
location as we are to have them
come here, and if we present the
true statements regarding this val
lev and see that they get good farms,
our growth and development will be
unprecedented.

Plan to Make a Market for Any Land to be sold..

Even If the prosperity of the peo-
in an agricultural community is
usually great, it is not good
son why they should give up

though the land values, growth
development of that particular
Ality are going ahead by leaps
bounds, and that district favored
M an unprecedented boom, even
every person should labor con-
.ually for greater gains. The
Ssting, pushing, and progressive
lit should ever be present in or
to accomplish great things, and
en- financial conditions are not the
\ and business a little dull, then
extraordinary and unusual
'punt of energy should be spent in
