Big Sugar Output in Salt River Valley BY LLOYD C. 1 HOMAS. The run of the (Jlendale sugar factory, about seven miles from Phoenix, in the Salt River Valley of Arizonia, for the present season has just closed. The sugar made from the beets grown there is said to be in every way equal to the finest cane sugar and much ol it Is used by bottlers and druggists in syrup making, which is the hardest test to which sugar can be put. Fifty thousand bags, or five million pounds, or two thousand five hundred tons of beet sugar was made this year. The value of this amount of sugar is over three hundred thousand dollars. The magnitude of this industry in the famous .Salt River Valley can be seen from these figurers. When the writer left the valley on June 14th some of the beets were then ready to be made into sugar, the run starting just about the lime we left. The very rich Glendale "loess" in which the beets are grown makes a very heavy yield, some of the beets having as high, as twenty-five per cent pure sugar. The same force that is used in the Glen dale sugar factory is sent when through there to the factories owned by the sugar company in Colorado, and undoubtedly some of them will be put to work in the factory at Scottsbluff. The crops in the Salt Rivey Valley have all been harvested long ago and many of the second crops are in the ground. It certainly seems rather odd to hear people talk of growing two and even three crops per year on the same ground but this is the case there. Alfalfa is green the entire year nnd is cut from five to eight times, depending upon the amount of pasutring done on it during the winter season? For about six weeks in the winter there the catttle are pastured on the alfalfa. C. C. Joy, of Jess, Nebraska, who is well known to Box Bntte and Alliance people, stopped the writer op the street one day last week and put the following question, "Say, Thomas, do you know ol any place on earth that beats that Salt River Valiev?" Mr. lot- has inst returned from nn ex tended trip in Aritona, California and other southern atates. He says that as soon as he sells his land in Nebraska it is Arizona and the Salt River Valley for him. Mr. Joy arrived in Phoenix the same day the writer left so not much op portunity was had for a visit, A man can not help liking a country where fbr miles and miles one rides between green alfalfa fields, tall stately trees, full ditches of swiftly running water and fruit orchards of every kind on all sides, And living is not expensive in the Salt River Valley. One can rent a little cott age in Phoenix cheaply and already fur nished, 01 a small suburban tract can be purchased pn easy terms. Street car lines radiate through the valley in all directions and they are being rapidly extended to cover the entire district. The small Arizona desert cactus in the Herald office window attracts a good deal, of attention. Although it is only a couple of feet in height this kind grows to a height of thirty o forty feet on the dry deserts. A. S. Reed Buys Farm in Salt River Valley Become a Resident of the New State Soon. A. S. Reed, who left on a trip to the Salt River Valley about two weeks ago re turned Tuesday morning. Mr. Reed saw the valley in its "worst aspect" and he says that the bightst temperature ex perienced while there was 102 degrees while in Nebraska it went up to 108 dur ing the same time. Mr. Reed selected a sixty acre farm two miles west of I'boenix on the "Christy" road, whicb is a paved boulevard and is one of the finest in the valley. Ills farm is directly across the road from a fine five room brick school house which makes it very handy for the family. The writer remembers the place pur chased bv Mr. Reed very well and he certainly has used gcod judgement in picking out a home. Forty acres of the place are in alfalfa and the place has fine trees and shrubbery. Mr, Reed paid $175 per acre for this farm lie says it cost him just six limes as mcch as he got for his land in Nebraska hut he would rather have it than ten for a home. While in the valley Mr. Keed spent the ten days he was there at the home of Stanley Howard, an old Box Hutte county resident. He slept out of doors most of the time, had to hae quilts every night, and didn t see a mosquito. He brought up a few specimens ul fruit raided by Stanley Howard on his place. Stanley Howard has manv peaches that weigh oce-half pcund each arid other fruits in proportion. Stnnley llcvvtrd has bad fruit ever since May 24th , Mr. (teed saw many pieces of eed al falfa which were going 500 pounds 10 the acre the seed selling for (1275 per 100 pounds. Says building is going on at an immense rate in the valley and know of no better place to invest than right thete. Mr. Keed asked ihe writer not to mention some things which he saw in the Valley, especially whh regard to the size of fruit, etc , for he tau), If you tell the truth it wouldn't be believed ' Mt-lcns have been harvested once and the second crop is ' )e,DK planted on the same ground rbe farm was purchased through the agency of Dwi'sht B. Heard, with whom the writer is working. Anyone who is interested should see Mr, Reed and have a talk with him. He is known csa conservative man. Anyone who is interested in the Valley should call or write the writer and liter ature will be furnished with maps, etc. SIOlBn Stolen from my pasture between June 12th and 30th.
