ARRANGEMENTS MADE TO TEST
SUGAR BEET GROWING IN VALLEY

of getting sugar beet culture under
way as a major enterprise in the
valley.
Stocker is field representative for
the Holly Sugar corporation and the
Los AlmitoS Sugar company, both
of Santa Ana Van Der Linden is
field man for the phosphate divis-
ion of the Anaconda Copper Min
ing company.
Sugar manufacturers are said to
be anxious to establish large acre
age close to their mills and Impe.
rial Valley is considered an approp-
riate spot
For many years, attempts to Gre
ate interest in growing beets com
mercially have been made. But it
has remained for Walter Hunt and
sons of Ell Centro to get tests of SER
ious proportions truly established,
Landerman said.
Hunts yields last year for the
large sized beets indicated approx.
imately so tons per acre. The sugar
content for this grade ranged from
10 to II per cent. For the medium
and small sizes. the average tonnage
ranged about % per acre. with sugar
content of II to 20 per cent, and
purity content, 80 to "a per cent,
according to Landerman.
The proposed test plots will have
three major features for experiment
namely: |. Fertilized VS. unfertiliZed
paintings. 2. Various dates OF
planting - spaced at two weekly
intervals from September Is to Dec
ember l. 8. Various spacings OF
beetS in rows.
From the above plots it probably
will be possible after full analysis
Of data which should be obtained
from such plots, to determine: l
Correct planting date to produce
maXium sugar yield. 2 Rate and
type of fertilizer to apply to sugar
beets locally for maximum yields
3. Correct spacing of plants to Sc
cure greatest sugar yield per acre
For example, the long haul to
Santa Ana makes it desirable tc
grow more smaller beetS of higher
sugar content per acre, to avoid
hauling worthless weight or tonnage
to the mill. The worthless weight is
water, he said.
The growers who Will cooperate ir
the test are to be called together
for meeting to be held the last
week in August when Stocker viii,
be present with Illustrated materia,
and final instructions as to pro
cedure with planting.
Seed will be furnished by the two
sugar mills, Holly Sugar Corpora
ton, and Los Alamitos Sugar Cor
poration, both of Santa Ana

you will be interested to know
that we are meeting with fine sue
cess in locating former valley resi-
dents who now live in San Diego
county and enlisting their support
for Elmer w. Heald.
ut must be that the friendships
we all made in the valley are
mighty strong for We only have to
mention that Heald is valley man
and the former desert rats pledge
their support Immediately. Many
of them know Elmer personally and
others, who left the valley years ago
know of him.
"The thing I believe will encour.
age you fellows most over there, is
to know that each former valleyite
we contact Immediately becomes a
missionary for Elmer and goes out
to get his friends to support him.
We find that it makes no differ.
ence whether a man is a Democrat
or a Republican, he lived in the
valley he's still strong for it.
I'VE have been contracting all the
country around Escondido and have
rounded up plenty of votes. There
will be no let-up before the primary
and you can tell all my old friends
over there that We'll do our bit over
here for we know they'll be plugging
for Elmer in the valley.
I'm sure Heald will be nominated
then we can all get together to elect
him."
