in a measure accounts for the de-
crease in acreage of alfalfa and
clover for seed. The acreage of beets
actually dug and hauled to the
dumps in 1917 was 500 acres which
yielded eight and one-half tons per
acre. In 1918 the acreage increased
very greatly, but owing to a dry
spring poor stands were obtained
and only 1000 acres were harvested.
These yielded twelve tons per acre.
In 1919, 5000 acres were contracted,
but owing to very dry spring and
lack of irrigation water it is esti-
mated that only 1900 acres will be
harvested. The total yield from this
acreage is estimated at 10000 tons,
or a little over ten tens per acre.
The price of beets is responsible in
great measure for this extraOrdin-
ary increase in acreage for 1919 and
is also an indication of what may be
expected from the farmers if the
price is kept at such level. At this
rate of increase it is but matter of
a. short time when it will be neces-
sary for the sugar company to put in
factory at Aberdeen. In fact 1920
has been set for several years past,
as the year Aberdeen is to receive
a factory. A bad season coupled
with water shortage may tend to de-
lay construction another year, but
delay cannot we'll continue.

BINGHAM COUNTY'S
SOUTH DISCUSSED
Aberdeen Man Shows
Growth of That
Section
SUGAR FACTORY

(By L. c. Aicher, Superintendent
Government Experiment Farm, Aber-
deem. Idaho)
The south end of Bingham county
Is forging ahead very rapidly in its
agricultural development. This is
particularly evidenced by the amount
of produce shipped out of Aberdeen
and the amount required for local
consumption. Thousands of sheep
and a few hundred head of cattle
have helped consume large quantit-
les of the alfalfa now grown in the
lower end of the county.
The yield per acre obtained aver
ages four and half tons. Owing to
very dry season this years tonnage
will not meet expectations nor con-
form with the usual average. AS the
farms are improved the tonnage per
acre also improves. Good leveling
and the better irrigation brought
about by the better leveling has been
responsible for the gradual increase
in tonnage per acre.
Alfalfa Seed Growing
Inrthe matter of alfalfa seed. The
extreme end of the county has not
taken up with the alfalfa seed in
dustry as has the section around
Springfield, Sterling and Grandview.
In matters of numbers attempting to
grow seed Aberdeen probably has as
many as any other section of the
county, but in the matter of acreage
grown falls very short. Thirty
thousand pounds of Grimm and COM
mon per annum would represent all
the alfalfa seed grown in this end of
the county. Alsike and red clover
are grown to some extent, but the
acreage has not yet reached the point
where it could be considered an in
dustry. Disregarding the fact that
the experiment station has obtained
as high as seven and half bushels
per acre from these crops.
Sugar Beets
Sugar beets have become very
popular with the farmers of this Sec
tion in the past three years. This
