Gratifying results arc coming In to
the Burlington passenger department
from the comprehensive experiments
In sugar boot culture begun In Ne
braska this spring , says the Omaha
World-Herald. It was with the Idea of
finding out where sugar beets would
thrive host and could bo grown moat
profitably that good seed was secured
from the state university and sent to
responsible farmers located In nlxty
localities , representative of the entire
state.
In doing this the Burlington Bceka
to encourage diversified farming in
this state , that a crop failure along
some particular line may leave the
farmer still with good crops , with nil
of the good results to bo derived from
rotation of crops.
At the same time close watch is bo
ng kept on experiments In Now York
on a system there Introduced of hav
ing beet sugar separators , or plants
for the preparation of the saccharine
substance Into Uio syrup form , located
In every locality whore boots are
grown. Thiu crude syrup IH then
shipped to immense fineries in the
large clllns , there to bo made into the
finished product. So it is the hope
that In tlmo every station will hnvo
Its syrup or raw sugar plant , which
will reduce the Weight of the material
: o be shipped to the refinery to about
15 per cent of the beets as they are
delivered by the farmers , thus reduc
ing freight charges to a minimum ,
and giving back to the farmcrn , or
the Immediate localities , the 85 per
cent of rcfuRO , ono of the best cattle
feeding foods In the world.
Consequently , all of the boots now
arriving at the oflloes in Omaha from
out the state are being broken to
pieces and pinched to test the flrm-
ipfls , and chewed up to test the sweet
ness , and put to other tests. When
fall comes , however , the samples from
all localities will bo submitted to an
analytical test to determine results for
further experiments.
The boots so far arriving are qulto
largo as sugar beeta usually go , but'
are very firm and apparently qulto
sweet , thus giving the hope that they
will prove a rich saccharine product.
