Results of Experiments Begun Some Months Ago. REPORTS ARE NERY GRATIFYING Kffort* of th* Ilarllngton to Kneooraga Dlrmlfled Farming—Start* Arriving ara Rather Large bat Firm and Rlab la Saccharine Makeup. Gratifying results are coming in to the Burlington passenger department from the comprehensive experiments in sugar beet 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 best and could be grown most profitably that good seed was secured from the state university and sent to responsible farmers located in sixty localities, representative of the entire Btate. In doing this the Burlington seeks to encourage diversified farming In this state, that a crop failure along some partlcu*ar line may leave the farmer still with good crops, with all of the good results to be derived from rotation of crops. At the same time close watch is be ing kept on experiments in New York on a system there introduced of hav ing beet sugar separators, or plants for the preparation of the saccharine substance into the syrup form, located In every locality where beets are grown. This crude syrup is then shipped to immense fineries In the large cities, there to be made into the finished product. So It Is the hope that In time every station will have Its syrup or raw sugar plant, which will reduce the weight of the material to be shipped to the refinery to about 15 per cent of the beets hb they are delivered by the farmers, thus reduc ing freight charges to a minimum, and giving back to the farmers, or the immediate localities, the 85 per cent of refuse, one of the "best cattle feeding foods in the world. Consequently, al! of the beets now arriving at the offices in Omaha from oivt the state are being broken to pieces and pinched to test the firm ness. and chewed up to test the sweet ness. and put to other tests. When fall comes, however, the samples from all localities will be submitted to an analytical test to determine results for further experiments. The beets so far arriving are quite large as sugar beets usually go, but are very firm and apparently quite sweet, thus giving the hope that they will prove a rich saccharine product.
