:. A. COUNTY PROPERTY
VALUED AT $685., 1854, 178

LOS ANGELES, July 20-An in
crease of $S,88S,3S3 in the valuation
of property in Los Angeles county il
shown by the assessment roll of the
county, just completes by County AS
SCISSOR Ed w. Hopkins.
The comparison is with the assess
ment roll of last year, and, according
to Assessor Hopkins, the showing is
a splendid one. He believes the board
of equalization, when it reviews the
findings of the assessors, will make
little change either way.
The roll as prepared by Hopkins
gives the total valuation of non-oper
alive property at $7O5,041,3 45; oper
alive property, Sal, 556,105; and prop.
erty assessed against the steam rail
roads, estimated at $11,256,72S, the
same as last year. This is total of
$685., S54,178.
Last years figures were: Non-oper.
ative property, $692,O25, 3O9; operative
$145, $685. 5S.
With the assessed valuation OF
steam roads, these figures give total
of $S4S,965, 795.
The decrease in operative property
said Hopkins, was due to falling of
in intangible values, while the in
crease in non-operatiye property was
due to healthy increase in valua-
tons of improvements, personal prop
erty and land.

RANKS Third
IN SUGAR BEET ACREAGE
CONDITION OF CROP INDICATES
YIELD OF 1916 TONS PER ACRE
128,90 Acres Planted to Saccharine
Tuber in State-TotaI of $685.
800 Acres This Season in
the United States

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-In the
acreage planted in the United States
to sugar beets this year, the total be-
ing 695,300 acres, California ranks
third in the number of acres planted
to the saccharine tuber, viz, 128,900,
and the condition June was 93.9 per
cent of normal, indicating 10.6 tons
per acre.
The acreage by states is: Colorado,
171,000; Michigan, 100000; California,
128,900; Utah, $4,000; Idaho, 36,500;
Ohio, 26,500; other states, 9O,400.
The total acreage is 144,70O acres
more than was planted last year, The
total yield is estimated at 6,29O,O00
tons. Last year the factories in the
United States used 5,2S8,500 tons and
the product was 722,054.
Throughout the sugar beet growing
countries of Europe the reduction in
acreage this year as compared to last
year is heavy, the latest figures being
under date of May 16, when the Mag
deburgische Zeitung, Magdeburg, print
ed a. telegraphic report from Prague,
Bohemia, Austria, as follows:
"The International Association of
Sugar Factories estimates as follows
the reduction in European beet sugar
acreage for the coming season: Aus
tria-Hungary, 35.1 per cent; Germany
31.9 per cent; Holland, 1863; Bulgaria
23.3; Italy's acreage will show an in
crease of 1913 per cent. The beet cul-
tivation of Belgium is placed at "a, 131
acres, a decrease of 44,479 acres, and
that of Russia at 2,159,692 acres, an
increase of 66,718 acres.
The well-known sugar statistician,
F. o. Light, is now estimating reduc-
ton in Germany of at least 20 per
cent, but is not inclined to believe it
will be much greater.
