SUGAR BEETS
GRADE HIGH
Beets Grown in County Found
Rich in Sugar
MAY GET FACTORY HERE
Commercial Club With Cooperation
of Farmers May Secure a Fac
tory for Glasgow.

Returns from the sugar beets sent
to the Montana College of Agricul-
ture at Bozeman to be tested, receiv-
ed at the office of the Commercial
Club, show Mr.. Ellsworth Space of
Whately won first prize asd E. K.
Moen of Tampico second prize offer
ed by the Moore Telephone Co.
The analysis shows the first prize
beets contained 1917 per cent sugar
in the beet, and the others 17.6 per
cent sugar in the beet. The high per-
centage in these beets grown with
out irrigation is most pleasing, show
ing the high productiveness of the soil
in the Lower Milk River Valley and
it's adaptability as sugar beet grow
ing district.
The beets were not yet fully ma
tured when pulled, and the showing
made proves that had the beets been
in the ground two weeks longer and
thoroughly ripe the test would have
been much higher. AS it stands the
report of Edmund Burke, Chemist at
the Agricultural College, is most en-
couraging to those who believe this
district can proftably grow sugar
beets.
Stillman C. Moore, Secretary of the
Covo ouoso1 C1,,L ovI N0,,r%xy EoIr
stated it as his opinion that had
the beets> been seeded, thinned, cul-
tivated and cared for with the same
attention as given beets grown under
contract for the factory they would
have shown sugar test above 20 per
cent.
Mr.. Moore said, "Under the con-
tract of the Billings Sugar Company
with the growers in their territory,
for 1918, the sugar beets winning first
and second prize at the Valley Coun-
ty Fair would have returned the farm
er good money. S6.37h per ton and
the other -$6.12h per ton, based upon
an average of Is tons per acre-which
is not extreme but conservative es
timate-the grower of such sugar
beets would realize gross return Of
$95.63 per acre. Deducting $45.63
for labor and expense it leaves the
farmer net return Of $50 per acre.
This shows what might be expected
with a factory at Glasgow. The farm
er would get good pay for his labor.
To secure a beet sugar factory at
Glasgow will require hard co-operat-
i've work of farmers with the Com
mercial Club in bringing the attention
# sugar beet interests to these facts.
The farmer must exert extra effort
to get the highest returns in sugar
in the beet to show that the tonnage
will yield refined sugar per ton of
beet proftably.
The Commercial Club has been do
ing a great deal of hard work tend
ing to attract the attention Of sugar
interests to the Glasgow district. Fav-
orable letters have been received from
the Great Western and United States
Sugar Companies. The Club believes
there is an opportunity to secule a
sugar factory here. With the large
acreage in the valley now under irri-
cation no better field exists in Mon
tana. Climatic conditions, soil, and
water are here, it only remains for
the farmer to put proper interest in
| to the matter and the sugar beet
factory will be realized fact.

COUNTY A S S ES S NJ f N T
Total Valuation of County $5,441,-
S26.OO. Taxable Land Increases.

The City of Glasgow and the Great
Northern Railway pay three fifths of
the taxes of Valley County as shown
by figures compiled by L. E. Jones
Of the Clerk and Recorders Office.
The Great Northern Railroad pays
a tax this year of $6O,364.30 into the
Golfers of the county, on total as
sessed valuation of $1,708,446.00. In
1914, with Phillips county still a part
of Valley County, the Great Northern

sessed valuation of $2,373,567.OO.
The total assessed valuation of the
county for this year is $5,441 $4,000,
compared to $7,756, ,446.00 in 1914 be-
fore Phillips county cut off. While
practically one third of old Valley
county was taken away by Phillips
county, there was a remarkable in
crease in the valuation of the county.
The assessed valuation of land in the
county for 1915 amounted to $971,-
918.0O compared to $1,172,240.00 in
1914.
