Nebraska is giving- a great deal
of attention to the srear beet ia-
dastrr. aad it has proved quite
profitable. Accordi g to the fig
ares given by the Irrigation Far
mer in Idbl there arete toos of
sugar beets raised in that state: in

not been able to secare the stattls-
tics for 195 as yet, bat the

ta-
crease. Another thing- Terr grati
fying is that beets are very textile
with sugar, bat that their fertility
varies each year. In 1991 they
averaged 161 pounds of sugar to
the ton: in 1992. 157 pounds: ta 1633
