PRODUCING BEET SEED
DOMESTIC CROP HARVESTED IN
1915 WAS SATISFACTORY.
During Past Year Sugar Beet Seed
Was Grown in Several States
from Michigan to California.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-Sugar beet seed was
grown commercially in this country
during the past year in several states
from Michigan to California. The crop
of seed harvested in 1915 was SO salts
factory-according to the report of the
chief of the Bureau of Plant Industry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, at Washington-in each of the
areas tested that largely increased
acreage was planted this year.
The bureau assisted in an advisory
way in growing, selecting, and siloing
the roots, planting them in the spring,
harvesting and cleaning the seed, and.
In general, endeavored to produce the
largest amount of commercial seed
possible at a minimum cost. Approx
imately 5000 acres are in beet seed in
this country this year. while we re-
quire the product of at least 10000
acres for normal planting not con-
sidering the natural expansion of the
beet-sugar industry. Each new mill
will require an average of 200 acres in
seed to meet it's planting require
hehlS. oe'eh ne" hhiiis are III Pio-
cess of construction for this year.
The problem of drying the sugar
beets for the purpose of increasing
the amount of raw material for the
mill and thereby increasing the length
of the sugar campaign has been fur
ther investigated. The principal diff
ficulty has been in finding or devising
a dryer of suitable capacity to handle
enough beets per day to be profitable.
A satisfactory solution of the problem
will be very beneficial in those small
valleys in the intermountain states,
where the acreage is not sufficient to
support a sugar mill. and yet the SUI
gar beet Is necessary to the highest
results in the farming operations.
