Forrest er Says
Sugar Beets Do
Well In Valley

Sugar beets are seen by f. F.
Forester, pioneer rancher Of I'm
perial valley, as one Of The valley ;
coming industries.
Late last fall Forester talked
over the matter of raising sugar
beets in the valley with Santa
Ana capitalist with the view of in
ducing him to start sugar factory
in the valley. Some experiments
were decided on and seed was fur
nished to Forester and several 9th
or ranchers for the purpose Of de.
termining the nature Of the prod
net that can be raised in the valley.
This morning Forester walked
into the Press office with the re
suit. It was q plant measuring from
tip to tip approximately 30 inches,
The beet itself was Approximately
i inches in length and would
weigh little more than one pound.
The rancher viii send samples TO
Santa Ana TO be tested for sugar
content and if the percentage proves
high enough it is expected that a
sugar factory viii follow soon. Pre-
vious tests Of this nature have
showed that sugar bects raised in
the valley have contained an aver
age Of about IS per cent sugar. This
amount is regarded as high.
Forester said that interested
parties from Santa Ana VIII be in
the valley next week to look over
the possibilities Of launching the
venture here.
The beet produced by Forester
was planted on December IA but
growth Of the plant did not star
until about January l due to the
! cold spoil experienced at that time.
