THE BEET CRUSADE
GAINS many
CONVERTS
LARGE ACREAGE PLEDGED BY
FARMERS OF HONEY LAKE
VALLEY AND ELSEWHERE.

l. II. Kent returned to Fallon Sun
day after nearly a week spent in
Reno and the vicinity of Susanville,
Lassen county in the interest of ex-
tending the scope of beet sugar
planting for the Fallon refinery. At
Standish, Is miles from Susanyille
total of $40 acres has been signed
up.
Saturday night an enthusiastic
meeting was held in Susanville which
was addressed by Prof. Knight of
the Nevada University, f. S. Bran
we'll and Mr.. Kent. They are conf
dent that from 200 to 800 acres will
be signed in that vicinity and that
the Honey Lake area will reach
1000 acres
In Reno the commercial club has
taken up the matter whole heartedly
and will boost with its powerful in
fiuence. Under the management of
the club about 25 acres will be
planted within the race track
grounds. The University will plant
similar acreage on land nearby
and scattering parcels now virtual
ly pledged will bring the total to
over 100 acres in the immediate vi
cinity of Reno.
A visit is contemplated to Mason
valley In a few days and these
gentlemen will again endeavor to
enlist the farmers near Yerington
In the project. They are hopeful
that a considerable acreage will be
gained.
There is practically $500 acres
signed at this time and the crop
from this ground will be large
enough to demand a considerable
outlay at the local refinery Beet
sheds and pulp storage must be pro.
vided and an expenditure of at least
$4,000 will be required.
The recent cold weather has inter-
fered somewhat with fall plowing
and preparation of the ground and
that will throw more of the heavy
work TO the spring months, but with
several tractors at work In the fields
great deal may be accomplished.
The success OF beet growing in
Nebraska, Utah, Idaho and else
where has increased local interest
and the future of the industry here
is now assured.
