How to build up the Western coun try is a question of great importance. Providence baa favored the Western or Northwestern States ol this great Union of ours with many splendid facilities for home and farm that it becomes onr duty at once to use them aud produce the greatest possible good to people already bere and to those who will ytt join our lanka aud numbers. A great deal of money is speuteooua ly in advertising this sec tion and we hope to greatly inorease our numbers and tbe question natur ally creeps in like tbisi What shall we do with immigrant! f What in- duomente can we offer them? What kind of employment oan we give tbetnf Most ol the imigration into tbia country are very respectable people but poor and depsnd on their libjr for daily maintenance' Ceruinly we cannot inoourage tbem to embark in tue pruouotion oi wiiea oeoause me major pornonoi me wiieat ianu t- ready owned and operated on lrg : and eoonomiosl linos and even thoao large tracts were divided wheat rtiising will not pay on email farms. Tnere' is a vety laige acreage ol wild land to be subjected but tbe common laboror csnnot live while this work is being done hence that cannot be held out to ary great extent. The lumbering is eimiDgly at a ataudatill and even at its best oannot make emloym u' but for a limited number. Tdis te largely true of all enterprises. Some thing must be done. Some employ meut must be bad. We must oare lot bomeseokers until such times at leeet as they can gat settled and be come acquaint d with our nieihods Parents and obi Mr in must eat and live, Wbal can we do and bow oan we do it? I answer, Tbe oulture of sugsr bsets will meet every require ment. While the manufacturing of sugar provides lab ir and employment for a goodly Dumber and pays large wages to, I shall pass that part ol the question and beg to call our at'.eotioo to the working of land and indicate to you how stupendously profitable it is It is said by some that any kind ol intelligence can till the soil. No greater erroi can be made. It requires great intelligeice to nil Ihe soil in a way Ibat will bring tbe best reeulte. As to soil I bave teen very little in our grand State but what is suitable to the sowing of sugkr beets. . think however, that in tbis immediate vi cinity you have loo muob precipitation io the Spring. While beets might do (a rly well they wjuld be very short aud tbe tonnage perbapi not so great, A sandy or blaok loam is the bast and il propnrly handled will pty ttte farmer hsndsomel lor bis labor, the possibility as to tonnage is surpris ingly great In 1913 th a Nttional Iirigation Congress beid in Olen, Utab offered and prize of, 1 think, $60,00 to tbe person showing the greareet yeald. Tbia prix was won by a geutlsmao living in Cache Valley, Utah. Tbis gentleman had harvested upwards of 37 tons per acre, wbicb be sold for $4,60 per ton realising to him tbe eoormious sum ol $160 . 60 per acrs. Iu tbe year 1 899 one Mr L Oldenburg of La Grande Ortgon measured ooe square rod o aad planted to sugar beets and weigh ed tne beets taken on same wbicb gave bim a yeild of 70 tons 800 pounds WhilA this seems out of reason Mr Oldenburg will mske affidavit to this faol at any time. 1 simply offer these figures to pro.e the great pos sibilities as to yeild and pr.ibi. I do not offar them as a lau basis to Ojunt nn in an ordinary way. I am asked the question, Wbat is an average yeild of sugar beeis and hi much! does it coct to produos au acre oi sugar beats. In Grande Ruunde Val ley we harvest irom o to 24 100s per aore. me lormer vu. iauu ia very uiul with Wild Oats Mustard or Cale 1 be beets beoorae poisoned and make a very poor growtn o.aoy dieing out right. Tbe latter on lands jvell cul tivated and iertenliied. 1 ngurd it cosii Irom $26.00 in $40,00 per acre to produce tonnage as above aet. I figure tha'. a yeild of six tons will pay its war, alkwinga fair rent for land txs and foi l.h.ir perforated.

Yi u will m te that the work on tbia tract was paid for Irotu eterl to finish - at the -r.tiu of $1.76 per day. I was .not ou the ground much ot the time benue 1 fig ure at least ten percent adriitooal was incurred ou ibis account as I find that very few people will work faith fully when lft alone.; The amount of rent paid fur use of laud la as muoli 1 venture as is geusrally reaiizea from any grain crop at lew. If one can ,!, 825,81 per acre for looking ise oniy ,urey lue (irorjt hnm aag1 ont I oultdre oan not v.ll ha ni.i:..nrt It i. true that mony has been lost even in our stale bv those makino an attempt to raise sugar biets, but I vo- lure that iu Tvey'luhtanoa":ft .good cause cau he given and that the fault lies with the man and not the enter price. I figure that an acre of land bring ing a good crop of sugar b pr ivides 18 days labor while aa acre ol wheat will provide perhaps '4 davs labor. Ihe oulture of sugar beets does not impoverish the land but builds it up, wbile it ousts to the land nborit $8.26 to pruduoi an aore of wheat. Hither to we have oldthe, atrengih ol our land at the rate ol 8.25 per acre and bought sunshine at the rate of perha e fiom$40to $100 per aore. 1 mean by this that we bave sold our wheat and bought sugar aud thereby provid ed labor for a class u p i pi? who do not pofesa nearly to great intelli gence as we do. Again the oulture of sugar betspro videa labor for our bys who might otherwise room the street learning the 'ise of bid language aud perhaps even do worse ban that Itdnvelop, their physique and thus prepars them to bitter meet tbe vicissitudes of life. Wheat giowiug provides lab. r lor a few adulis wbile then oliil.ln u are left, to idle their ti to aw v. Again the beets are n Id at a fixed cash price eveu bifore the ted is planted. Ho wo-ry as 1 1 whether they will peiish aud be lost. The market is safe the money is sure. I think that figU'es wilt amply demonstrate that the culture of sugir Hants when properly employed ia the b st tuiug known totue American farmer. Last year we paid to tbti farmers of Giande Roude valley the cum of $117, 000 for hneis, wuile this yer we will greatly exceed tnat figure, perhaps double it. I have every coufi.ldnoe in theetatt of Oregon ; I bave every confidence in tbe people of this state aud I think that as soon aa we open our eyea m will see tbe smoke stscks of the Sugar Factories loom up in great uumber We will ie the large tracts of land out into small tracts. Happy homes, smiling parents, merry children, tnoie ohoc bouses, more music, the finer sympathies ol Ihe b'lman tHmily de veloped, all brought about by a baiter and more soieut'lio cultivation of tbe soil. Immigration will come to 11a aud grow with and our apl-nriid stale will all rejoice together. The sugar beet industry will bopiaised iu song and dance, our hearts 1 gh:, our debts light, but our purses heavy and our standiug in financial circlca most ex oellenl. Let ns grow sugar beets.
