SUGAR BEET HARVEST ON
IiA GRAXDE FACTORY WILT, GO IX
TO OPERATION AT OXCE.
Indnittry Offer -an Much to the
Farmer as Any Other of Which,
Oregon In Capable.
LA GRA2JDE, Sept. 20. (Special Corre
spondence.) Harvesting of sugar beets
lias begun. The factory at this place is
nearly ready to start up, and there will
be enough beets on hand by tomorrow for
the plant to begin work. Xearly 1000 tons
of beets are in the receiving bins. The
machinery of the plant has been under
going repairs for some time. It will be
kept going about seven weeks, and will
induce approximately 350 tons of beets per
day.
The industry will show much progress
this year. There will be a large crop of
beets, between 17,000 and 18,000 tons. This
is so much better a prospect than the
realizations of former years have been
as to banish the discouragement of other
seasons.
The Northwest has two factories for ex
tracting sugar from beets. The work of
producing sugar has gone far enough,
with the good assurance this season ex
tends to a full yield of beets,
to open to the Imagination a
luture scene of great activity in this in
dustry. The factories at La Grande and
Waverly, after several years of patient
waiting at last have something to work
on. Heretofore they have operated only
to a fraction of their capacity, and there
lore have not been profitable. This year
the facilities of the plants wil be about
the facilities of the plants will be about
erated for about half a full season. This
will be a gain over last year worthy of
more than passing notice.
Total Crop in the Xorthnvest
Harvest of beets has proceeded far
enough to allow of good estimates as to
what the total crop will be. The "Waverly
and La Grande factories will each re
ceive probably 17,000 tons of beets, the lat
ter plant perhaps a little more. Conserv
ative figures of this season's yield In the
Northwest are 35,000 tons. This amount
of beets will reduce to about 4200 tons of
eugar. At Waverly the average crop to
the acre perhaps will be between nine and
ten tons of beets. Here at La Grande it
"will be about eight tons. Some farms in
this district will produce twice that quan
tity, and even IS or 19 tons per acre. Such
land is the best that this district affords,
a.nd It is, In a few cases, aided by arti
ficial irrigation. Sandy ridges are not
(planted in beets as they were at first, for
they do not produce as well. This kind of
soil does not yield more than six to eight
tons per acre. As the great part of the
land given to beets is of this nature, the
ligures of the average crop will therefore
be reduced considerably lower than those
of the highest yields.
The total land tributary to the La
Grande factory is about 2500 acres; that
at "Waverly Is about 1SO0. By comparing
these ligures and those of the prospec
tive crops at the two places, it will be no
ticed that in the "Washington district the
yield will be a little .larger. Comparison
of the percentages of sugar in the beets of
the two places shows that "Waverly has a
larger proportion of the sugar element.
Last year the average content of sugar
of La Grande beets was 14.6 per cent. At
"Waverly it was a fraction higher. The
cause of these slight inequalities is not
apparent. Both places are regarded as
being equally favored by nature. Here
there are in some cases much larger crops
of beets than at "Waverly sometimes one
third. But the average production is be
low the quantity of that at "Waverly. This
difference in favor of the Washington
district It Is believed will be neutralized
by better selection of soil and improve
ment in methods of cultivation.
.. J2fl?npriiOi With Other Years.
The twef factories In the Northwest can
each rod(uce 350 tons of beets per day or
35,000 tonfe in a season of 100 days. Here
tofore the plants have operated only a
small parjt of that time. Last year Wav
erly had 6000 tons of beets; and the year
before only a few hundred tons. This
season that district as heretofore noted
produced between 16,009 and 17,000 tons.
The following is a statement of the ag
gregate yields of beets at La Grande in
the past three years:

It may be said that the dawn of the
sugar industry in the Northwest has be
gun. Its colors are rich with promise.
Production of sugar, one of ,the most
wholesale articles of commerce, opens as
goiden a future as does any industry of
which the -Northwest is capable.
A steady gain in the production per
acre will be noted. This has ben brought
about by better understanding of the
methods of growing beets and of the
adaptation of those metiiods to local
conditions of climate and soil. It has been
kmonstrated that beets can be made to
turn out renumeratively for the farmer,
more so than growing of wheat or of
any other crop. One farmer, J. M. Cav
Iness. who may be taken as a represen
tative of the class that conducts agricul
ture with conspicuous enterprise, netted a
l.ttle over 36 per acre last season from
110 acres. From that acreage of land he
harvested an average of nearly 14 tons to
the acre and received from the factory
$4 50 per ton. He figures from deduction
of the cost of planting and cultivating the
icpairing his wagons, that he cleared
from $34 to $36 per acre on his invest
ment. Waverly furnishes just as striking ex
amples of success. Several farmers in
that district last year earned above all
expenses from $25 to $35 per acre. As
might be expected, a few farmers have
not made a success of beetgrowing, a
fact due perhaps to the nature of their
soil and to their own thriftiness or lack
of it.
More Than Tentative Enterprise.
People of this district and of the Waver
ly section have in general come to look
upon beetgrowing as more than a tentative
enterprise. It has come to stay and to
develop, and it opens a rich store for the
future. It does this by relieving land
from intensive farming such as the grow
ing of wheat. But it does so more by
ngaging farmers in the production of an
article of Tood which has world-wide con
sumption,' and which the world absorbs
With an avidity ever on the Increase, and
at a rate that taxes all the facilities of
production to supply.
Cultivation of sugar beets is in a sense
gardening, but it is gardening that can
be expanded far beyond the limit that the
word commonly implies. It is an indus
try that disdains to be carried on on the
scale of the ordinarj' vegetable garden.
The extent to which one man may en
gage in it is conditioned only by his pow
er of organizing the forces in his control.
The old idea, if it ever actually prevailed,
that a man must farm beets on the fam
ily scale in order to do it profitably, em
ploying only his wife and children, is an
exploded one. The farmer whose name is
given in this article as an example of suc
cessful growers, hires his labor, in all the
stages of beet culture. The idea Is nega
tived also at Waverly and indeed every
where beetgrowing is carried on in an
extensive way.
An a. Relief From Wheat
Any system of agriculture-that relieves
''soil from the exhausting drains of con
tinued wheatraising, and affords as profit
able and a more profitable substitute, is
welcomed by farmers. The sugar fac
tories at Waverly and La Grande afford
this substitute. If farmers have been slow
to realize the potential wealth of the sub
stitute, it is a credit to their conserva
tism, and hardly a reproach to their in
telligence, since they promptly accepted
the evidence from year to year- of its
worth, and have gradually been adjust
ing themselves to It. A more rapid change
would perhaps not be economic or desir
able. It has been proved conclusively
that beets offer the means of recuperat
ing wheat lands. Moreover, beets do not
take from the soil in the same proportion
as does wheat. In the past, four years it
has been the experience of farmers that
the longer land is devoted to sugar beets,
the better the beets become. How long
this will continue Is a matter of conjec
ture. But this fact makes potent that
beet land may be given to the same prod
net continuously, and yield a profitable
crop every season, whereas wheatland is
usually given to idleness every other year
or practically so. Farmers have not been
averse to receiving this evidence. Their
readiness to accept it is proven by the
fact that the sugar beet acreage this
year is one-third larger than last. Al
though the acreage in 1S98 at La Grande
was larger than now, the yield this sea
son will have over twice the size of that
of last year. This demonstrates the" prog
ress that has been made in the lndus.try
and also that It is better for farmers to
grow into the Innovation than to take it
up all at once.
To Get the Bent Results.
Experience at La Grande has made
prominent a fact which is not so ap
parent at Waverly. It is that beets do
better when planted successively in their
own ground, than when they are "rota
ted with wheat. Wheat land has some-

thing about it or the grain leaves cer
tain properties to which beets do not
take kindly at first, and it is only after
another year or two that the beets attain
a good yield.
Farmers have also learned by experi
ment that the best yields come from Fall
ploughed land. Moreover, the soil needs
to be plowed deeply in order to enable the
beets to send down their roots and draw
up full nourishment This ploughing va
ries from 15 to IS inches. The soil Is, how
ever, not turned over deeply. One promi
nent farmer turns the soil over one-half
Inch deeper each year. He thinks this
brings up sufficient new soil and con
serves the resources of his land. The
growing tendency both at La Grande and
Wavely Is to plant more in the lowlands,
although this similarity between the two
places is perhaps not validly made be
cause the Waverly district is of a rolling
nature, with high ridges which suffer
more from aridity than does the more
even land in the Grand Ronde "Valley.
The two districts have arrived at the
same conclusion In regard to the most
economical distance to allow between beet
plants. At both places the rows are
about 20 inches apart, and the plants in
the row eight or nine Inches from each
other. At first the beets were grown
closer together, as is generally done else
where. But it was found that the beets
appropriate the moisture of the soil to
more advantage and attain a better pro
portion of saccharine and other Ingredi
ents when the plants are spaced further
apart. This has not Increased the size
of the beets at the expense of their su
gar contents. The varying character of
soils In low and high lands Is taken Into
account in determining the space between
the beets. In the more humid lands the
plants may be placed closer together.
Size of Beets.
The average size of beets at La Grande
is appreclablj' larger than heretofore, and
the sugar content is greater. Many beets
measure 26 inches long, and some weigh
10V4 pounds. This size is extreme, how
ever, and while It gives good weight to
the farmer, it does not yield the propor
tion of sugar that smaller ones do. From
analyses thus far made the percentage of
saccharine matter in the beets at La
Grande will be about 15, or, perhaps, a
little higher. The Waverly chemists es
timate that their beets contain between
15 and 16 per cent of sugar. About 3 per
cent is lost in the process of extracting
the sugar, so that the beets will reduce
to about 12 per cent of their aggregate
tonnage. The purity ranges from about
S3 to S6 per cent. In both districts the
sugar ingredients occasionally reach 22
per cent, and often 18 and 20 per cent.
Beets are purer here by 2 or 3 per cent
than in California, and, as a rule, contain
more sugar. Last year the Waverly beets
had perhaps the largest proportion of
sugar in the United States. At La Grande
last year the average sugar content was
14.6 per cent; in 1S99 14.5 per cent, and in
1S9S 14 per cent.
Factory Now n. Fixture.
If there was ever any thought of moving
the La Grande factory away, it has been
dismissed. The enterprise Is beginning
now to meet the expectations of the pro
moters. The success of this season, han
dicapped as it was by a late freeze and
unusually dry weather, is sure to give
impetus to the industry. Many more peo
ple are coming to engage in beet culture.
The sugar company has Increased Its land
to 1000 acres, all of which it will seed next
season; but lands tributary to the La
Grande' factory are at Welser, Payette,
North Powder, "Union and Sumrnerville.
It is hoped in the next two years to in
crease the total amount of beet lands to
5000 or 6000 acres, an aggregate which will
produce beets enough to feed the factory
for a full season. The plant has been
constructed so that Its capacity may be
doubled readily, by the addition of more
machinery.

The unfavorable features are few, the

OPTIMISTIC VIEW OF INDIANS
Farmer at Klnmntli Aftcncy Thinks
They "Will Become Self-Supporting:.
J. B. C. Taylor, who holds the position
of Government farmer at the Klamath
agency. Is at the Perkins. He considers
the Indians bright and willing scholars
and that they will finally become as pro
ficient as their white brothers, although
the style of farming adopted at the
agency only involves the singles processes
of plowing, harrowing and irrigating.
"There are about 1200 Indians at the
agency now," he said last evening, "and
many of them have long since become
self-supporting. Some are even quite well
to do. and Harry Jackson, a full-blood
Klamath Indian, sells $6000 or $7000 worth
of beef cattle off his ranch every year.
The elevation is rather high for the ripen
ing of wheat, as frosts are likely to be
both late In the Spring and early in the
Fall but alfalfa and grasses do remark
ably well. Stock farming Is therefore the
principal Industry, and that business has
been very profitable for the past few
years.
"The lands have long since been al
lotted to the aborigines in severalty, each
head of a family being entitled to 160
acres, but they think this Is too small a
tract, and are already clamoring for more
land.
