A Sagar Beet Factory
In a recent i83ue of the Southwest
Magazine Mr V S Burke contribut
ed a lengthy article upon the sugar
beet industry from which we gather
the following facts
About the smallest factory that can
le successfully operated is one with a
capacity of 250 tons per day to run
-about 150 days in the season Tins
would consume during the year about
50000 ton3 of beets The average
yield in this state is 20 tonsr per aoie
Thi would necessitate the cultivation
of 2500 tcres of beets yearly to sup-
plythe demand
One man can attend to abcut 15
acres and the average price paid is
5 per ton This would give each
man as a yearly income from the cul
tivation of 15 acres of beets of 1500
which is beyond a doubt more than
-double the amount of income to most
families today in Cherry county And
further no capital is required by a far
mer to engage in this business
The factory would give work to 300
men and it is estimated that those who
gain employment directly and in
directly together with those depend
ent upon them -would number 6000
These figures are reliable
The population of Valentine now is
about 700while the establishing and
operation of a beet sagar factory here
with capacity of 250 tons per day
would increase the population to sev
al thousand And it would bring from
-abroad and put into circulation in our
midst many times more money
Can any farmer business man or
property owner fail to see where thpy
would derive a great benefit from
such an enterprise
But someone says how would we
get the factory it will cost a great
turn of mone
- Certainly it would
Such a mill as we have described
would cost to exceed 500000
The profits to be derivod from an
-enterprise of this character is sure and
money can be secured for a ny invest
ment that assures a profit aud is safe
Under favorabls conditions with a
guarantee that the beets are forth com
ing a factor can be secured
People hardly realized to what a
great business the sugar beet industry
has grown to be In 1890 only about
-3000000 pounds were grown in the
tllni ted States while in 189 i we pro-
-50000000 pounds
It is fully demonstrated in Mr
Burkes article that beets are best
grown where it can have a warm dry
fall such as we always have here
The moisture is needed in the spring
aad less moisture is required ior to
jrow beets chan most any other crop
Seyeral experiments have been tried
in this county and always with suc
cess
With a factory here at Valentine
-would be a benefit to every property
owner in the county as it would rapid
ly raise the price of land etc For
illustration In the town of Chinu
- Cal in 1890 there was only three or
for housea and land was no more val
iiablo than our land is today But a
fceet factory was put up tLere by a
-company formed for that purpose nd
this has practically been ihe only
enterprise the town has depended up
on but it has grown in three years to
have a population of 6000 and laud in
that vaciuity finds ready sale at 25
per acre This can be repeated in
Valentine
Thii is an important matter and
commands the serious consideration of
jpeople of all classes
The Creator has supplied us with
the natural resourses and if we fail to
take advantage of them it is our own
lault
If our readers manifest an interest
in this matter we will endeavor to dis
43ussthe subject in the different phasis
and throw all the light possible on it
A lOJMBER of experiments have been
tried in our srate to assertain how the
soil can be tilled to best retain the
moisture A gentleman from Kansas
while in Hastings last year advocated
the idea that it was not so much a lack
of raiufall as an excessive evaporation
which at times causes crop failures in
hlB state Aud he argued that the
ixoason failures have been more frequ
ent late years is from the fact that
the ground is becoming loose from
iilbflf b unaer com scaiKs etc tnus
affording a better opportunity for
evaporation He contended that a
system of cultivation that would pack
the subsoil thus putting it in the best
possible condition for receiving and
retaining the moisture would to a
great degree solve the question The
theory seemed plausable and a
few farmers near Hastings tried it
Inst season and it proved a grand suc
cess A track of land was laid out
and cultivated as follows One half of
the piece was plowed deep while the
other half was subsoiled The seed
was theu plan ted aier which a sur
face packer was used makg the ground
quite solid All the cultivation after
this was shallow This field was com
pared with one just across the road
which was cultivated in the usual
way During the month of July it
was found that the soil on this land
taken one inch deep contained an
average of 19 per cent moisture while
that cultivated in the ordinary way
only contained 11 per cent On the 20
of July the moisture on the former
piece extended down to a depth of
four feet six inches and on the latter
it was dry and haid after 15 inches
deep A good crop was raised on this
place while all around it was a failure
The farmers in that section have faith
in the theory and will try it the com
ing season to a man

grain will be weighed understate sup
ervision S Knipe of Arlington
