Encourage the 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 year are being
offered tho farmers Already 76 acres
of land has been contracted on the
divide and larger acreages will be
planted on the Willow and on the Re
publican river
