Sugar Beets Grown

Anchorage, (By MaiD-susar beets
grown lin the ..Matanuska Valley,
which is on the line of the Govern
ment Railroad, 36 miles north of

percentage of sugar that their uroduc
ton in commercial quantities is re-
garded as a likely possibility of the
near future. Returns on tests made
on the Matanuska vegetable by the
Department Of Agriculture at Wash
ington. D. c., show that the beets
submitted to the Washington authori-
ties contained from 14.6 to 1853 per
cent sugar.
The vegetables were grown in the
season of 1918 by Frederick T. RAIDER,
euuerintendent of the United States
Agricultural Experiment Station LIN
the Matanuska Vail, and were sent
by him to the Department Of Asricui-
ture.
"Of course" said Mr.. RAIDER, sit is
not to be expected that this first crop
of Matanuska beets should contain
as high percentage Of sugar as is
contained in beets grown in the old,
we'll cultivated districts in the States.
Neither was the Matanuska yield,
which average from seven to eight
tons per acre, as heavy as the yield
of beet land in the States. New land,
In all fairness, cannot be expected to
produce as we'll as old land"
