Enterprise The Tribune believes that nothing is before the people of this section of the state especially the farmers that prom ises greater or more certain returns than does the culture of sugar beets To bo sure this enterprise is in its infancy but it is past tho experimental stage even in tho Republican valley Tho results of tho past two seasons and particularly of last year prove that tho beets can bo successfully and profitably raised here in tho most unfavorable years Last year William Byficld cultivated fifteen acres of sugar beets of these ho shipped tho results of four acres to the Norfolk factory the same bringing him 33180 or a70 per acre The beets from tho rest of the fifteen ncres ho fed to tho stock on his ranch This season Mr Byfield has contracted with the beet sugar people to plant forty acres The first year ho planted 10 acres last year 15 aud this year it will bo forty acres That shows Mr Byfields confidence in the success and profit of sugar beet rais ing in Redwillow county Mr Byfield has proven too that tho sugar beet is as good as corn for feeding and fattening purposes and recently made the following statement of tho matter as demonstrated on his ranch last year McCook Neb Feb 10th 902 To the farmers of this vicinity This is to certify that 1 the undersigned sold in Kansas City on January 27th 1902 seven yearling heifers fattened on sugar beets along with nineteen head of steers and heifers fattened on corn Said heif ers sold at the same price as the corn fed steers and brought 1G5 per hundred Signed Wm Byfield Contracts same as last
