that are recorded by .he growing Of
sugar beets After investigating the
Hazelton, Paul and Rupert district
growers find that no crop planted,
Tonnage and fixed cash value per ton
that will or does pay as we'll as grow
ing OF sugar beets. After investigat-
ing the above mentioned districts 1t
is found that the average yield per
acre runs from II to % tons and at
the marketing value of $500 per ton
or better it is readily seen what this
means to the grower. Sugar beet
LAND is rented at from $40 per acre
up and also in many instances on
basis of S1.0O per ton. K. S. BROOKS,
lof Hazelton. the past season rented
about ~ acres OF his land that pro-
duced l6 tons per acre, and ne re-
ceived for his rent SIC per acre cash
