V a i 1 h J V ite lts f Si 4V v f - VOL X 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 Moke money

with our western and southern people and knowing but little of our surroundings they do not reach the point of making themselves indispensable to the farm er This is not the case with tha Farm Record

needs of this class in all parts of the country having personally visited every agri cultural state in the union But he is now engaged in making a fight for the firmer that should endear him to every
