Considering the conditions. under
which the beets have been raised
this year, late planting. poor ana in
adequate machinery and NO special
provisions for labor on these fields.
the specimens gathered Tuesday
speak for themselves.
The w. w. Wright farm offers
the best specimens to be found in
proof OF the success Of sugar bee,
culture. Mr.. Hamman pulled several
from this field Of good growth and
fine type. One OF the beets weighed
three and one-balf pounds. While
the Wright bsets are not above the
average in any way. being uneven
a. to size and type. and only fair
sized. they are exceptional beets con-
sidering the advantages they have
had. Mr.. Wright. says he did not
have the time to put on the field.
that It was not properly irrigated.
and that II was cultivated but two
times. whereas experienced beet
rsisers cultivate their fields from
seven TO ten times during the grow
Ing period. However. Mr.. WrisAt's
field will yield . profitable tonnage
and fine quality Of beets that prom
ise good sugar tests. Another year
he proposes to put more attention
On his bsst crop. select better land
for their culture. and thus prove not
oaly that bsets can be profitably
raised In the San Luis Valley, but
that the valley can raise - fine
bests - can b. grown elsewhere.
