GATHERING SUGAR sEETs
Crop In Martin County Harvested
BY White Pepple.

.Fairmont, October 1S.-tFor the
first time in the history OF the su-
gar beet industry in Marty county,
the crop is being harvested by Mar
tin county people. according TO H.
w. Chase, representative OF the
Chaska Sugar Beet company. !
This is the first time that we
are harvesting the crop without
practically any Mexican help said
Mr.. Chase, "and this is about the
first year we have dared to ask To-
cal people to help. without feeling
that We have 'insnlted them. They
are making from So to 81 day,
and some make as much. as 81 in
one I afternoon" Beet hArvesters
are paid 50 much an acre.
While there are fewer acres into
sugar beets in Martin county this
year, the crop is estimated to be
not far below that of 1920 in ton
mage. Farmers have gotten onto"
the knack of raising the beets. and
the average yield around Fairmont
as estimated by Mr.. Chase, is in
the neighborhood of eight tons an
acre. Emil Wolter, a farmer living
near Granada, has reported yield
of seventeen tons to the acre.
A popularity in the sugar paet
crop this year is that the best -:eld
has been obtained from the Sigh
ground. In other years it has besli
realized from low ground, uslails
In sloughs that had been tiled.
