Sugar Industry
Brings 3 Million
From $4,000 Acres
Sixty Million Pounds of
Sugar Produced in
State Last Year

One Of Washington's new and In.
,erestine industries Is the growing
and refining OF sugar beets.
During the past year, Washing
homegrown and refined sugar has
come to the fore as one OF the
states fastest developing economic
commodities. Production in 1885
doubled over 1887.
There are two refineries in the
state at Toppenish and Bellingham
Roth are owned by the Utah Idaho
sugar Company, which manufact-
ures the sugar known as ~ and
Washington-g grown sugar"
Last year 100000 pounds OF
sugar were produced from 1900
acres of sugar beets. The total
value to the state is estimated at
approximately 100000.
According to Fred G. Taylor, vice
president Of the operating COM
pany. washington sugar beet grow
ers received 1925, 900 for their crop
last year; labor was paid $305, 900;
materials and other operating ex-
penses amounted to $575, 900; sales
expense and excise taxes were $685.
900: and In addition approximately
3l,OoO,O00 was spent indirectly with
other Warrington industries.
The sugar beet industry Is claim
Cd to provide more man-hours Of
labor per acre than any other ma
jr agricultural crop. During the
opgrattng season In Washington,
svS men we're employed In the two
plants and receiving station. with q
mdont,hH payroll Of 10000. More
thah 400 agricultural workers were
employed during the growing and

Berries Prove Best
Money Getters on
Highland Project
Acre Of. Pie Plant is High
With Returns at $500
Per Acre

The average gross revenue from
the farm acreage ON the Highlands
dropped about five dollars. lasl
year over the veryspocg year Be.
fore, the average return acre this
year being shown as $elS3 as
against $500 last year, according
to the government reports just re-
leased.
Last year one Of the high spots
was that shown on green onions
which made gross return at the
rate Of 5000 per acre This year the
highest gross return was at the rate
Of 500 per acre and that was for
one acre of rhubarb. Both Of
these crops. however. were freaks
and could not be duplicated on any
thing like q large scale.
Berries proved to be the most
consistent money getters on the
Highlands In both pears. last year
81 acres showed q per acre return
Of $324.70 and this year 10e acres
showed . gross return Of, $236.l0.
Two acres Of squash showed
gross return Of $270 this year, but
q considerable acreage would show
quite different figures no doubt.
: This year, according to q report
made by Manager E. J. Brand, the
Kennewick District irrigated about
forty acres less than last year, the
total shown being 3252 for this year.
However, several new paintings on
virgin ground this year, notably the
eighty being put In by the Church
Grape Juice Co., win probably
change these figures for. another
year. Il
