. A BEET SUGAR FACTORY IS SA1M
We Can Grow the Beets and We Can Get the Labor for
Thinning and Harvesting-Sugar Comes from the
; Wind That Bloweth Where It Listeth and the Water
That Falls in Rain from, Heaven The Family of the
sugars '
There is a prospect of securing
a beet sugar factory in Salem.
This Is' the best place In Oregon
for one; Eugene is probably the
next best point, with Coryallis,
Albany, " Hillsboro, Oregon City,
McMInnville, Silverton. Woodburn,
following In about that "order
And why? Because of the labor
problem. The . thinning of sugar
beets takes a lot of hand labor;
painstaking, back breaking work.
The rest, for the most part, 1 is
much aided by modern machinery,
Salem Is used to finding a lot of
labor. In the tending and harvest
ing of our tree and busHfrufts
and our vegetables and strawber
ries and hops. The beets can be
grown in all the Willamette valley
counties, with sufficient sugar con
tent tent to make their production
an economically sound proposi
tion; with above 12 per cent of
sugar content. We have grown In
several parts of the valley sugar
beets with 25 per cent of sugar
content. :
Is there danger that we may
overdo beet sugar ; production?
Hardly. Americans now consume
something more than 90 pounds
of sugar per capita I
And according, to experiments
of the United States department
of agriculture men doing heavy
labor may consume 275 pounds
of migar a year without any delJ
terious effect that is. our work
ers may eat about three times
their weight in' sugar annually;
though the experts do not say how
much a girl doing nothing ought
to eat between meals. i
The Purest Food i
r Pure white sugar is the first
and ; greatest contribution of
chemistry to the world's dietary.
It is a single definite chemical
compound, sucrose, and it Is high
ly nutritious. It is a simple and
pure combination of carbon, hyd
rogen and oxygen. Except - the
fats, there is no more nutritious
food than sugar, pound for. pound,

The Industry Is Young
The ancient Greeks, being an
inquisitive ajtd acquisitive people. I
were fond of cHectInr tales of f
mncn ' wnetner 1 the stories wtere
ttru or not so long as they were
Interesting. Among the marvels
that the Greeks heard from : the
Far East two ot ..the strangest
I were that in India1 there were
I plants that bore .wool without
l sheep and reeds that bore honey
without bees. These incredible
tales turned out to. he true- and
in the course of time Europe began
to get a little Calico trom Calicut
and a kind of edible gravel that
the Arabs who brought It cal.ed
sukkar." .But course ortly
kings and queens could afford tr
dress In " calico and have svrar
prescribed for them when they
were siek-r- ; -:
But f ortunatelyf In the course
of time the Arabs Invaded Spain
and forced upon the unwashed
and unwilling inhabitants cf En
rope such things of higher ivili-
ration as arithmetic and soap and
sugar.; Came a time when Great
Britain controlled the cane sugar
industry of the world, j
I Marggrsf, a Berlin ehemUft, had
in 1747 discovered that it yas pos
sible to extract sugar frdm beets.
But there was only a little sugar
in the beet root then sc-me-i per
cent, and what he got OUV was
dirty and bitter. One of his pupils
in 1801 set up a beet sugar fac
tory in Breslau under the patron
age of the king of Prussia,5 but the
industry was not a success until
Napoleon took it up in 1810. and
offered a prize of a million francs
pr . a practical process. y France
was'shut off from the cstne sugar
supply and wanted sugar.

. In a comic paper of that day
you will find a cartoon f of Xanol
eon in the nursery beside Jha cra
dle of his son and heir. ( The em
peror! is squeezing the Juice of a
beet Into his coffee and the nurse
has put a beet into the mouth of
the Infant king of Rome, saving:
"Suck, dearj suck. Your father
says it's sugar!"
i In like manner did tha wits ridi
cule Franklin for ' fooling with
electricity, Rumford for trying to
improve chimneys, Parmentler for
thinking potatoes were (fit, to eat,
and Jefferson for believing some
thing might be made out of our
part of the country that lies west
of the Mississippi. j
In all ages ridicule has been the
chief weapon of conversation. If
you want to know what line hu
man progress will take in the fu
ture, read the funny papers of to
day and see what they are fight
fng. The satire of every century
Jlnpm Aristophafnes to the latest
vaudeville has been directed
against, those who are; trying to
make the Vorld wiser j or better,
against the teacher and preacher,
the scientistj and the reformer. .
j The Sugar Family
There is a big family! of sugars.
Maple sugar is mostly sucrose. So
parny is noney. Nearly every
fruit land vegetable has some sug
ar, including' carrots, jand even
turnips. ' But there is another
sugar, corn sugar, that Is not sug
ar (sucrose) at all, but glucose,
and In the United States we work
up 50,000.000 bushels of corn a
year into 800,000,00001 pounds of
corn syrup, 600,000,000 pounds of
starch, 625.000.000 pounds of glu
ten feed, 90,000.000 pounds of oil
(fo;j,Karo., "Mazola."j etc.), 90.
000.000 pounds of oil cake, and
230,000,000 pounds of corn sugar.

and nearly all candies are made

lumber business, its cannery; and
its Roquefort, cheese factory; but
1 is Inclined to be over modest
in telling the world about It. :
These institutions are recogniz
e1, by the citizens as of greater
virtue to the community than! they
are to the stockholders and Jown

factor entering into the present
effort to still further develops the
Industrial . possibilities of Falls

to get them to work that j has

the strong points urged for justi

Falls City to the home seekers
and new investment seeker to visit
it while these wonderful resources

Oil and mineral deposits are In

still going on. '
Within the lifetime of those
now living, every acre of land in

than 1 5 00. and- in the ."mean time
it will - have built up fortunes

THIS WEEK'S SLOGAN
DID YOU KNOW that the lands in the Salem district are
as well adapted to the growing of sugar beets with a
high sugar content as the best beet sugar lands of Ger
many that the, great Salem fruit district, using and due
tp use vast quantities of sugar annually, can raise its
own sugar beets and establish and maintain its own
sugar beet factories, and can do it at a profit; that, in
the service of a self-contained prosperity and gjowth,
this ought by all means to be done, and done as soon as
possible; that there is ample capital here now, if as
sembled cooperatively under the right sort of auspices,
and leadership, - to accomplish this very desirable end,
and that it would not be a difficult matter to secure
sufficient sugar beet acreage in the Salem, district , to
supply a sugar beet factory, properly financed and man

a Commercial Quantity of Sucrose in Samples From
Nine Points Scattered Over the Willamette Valley, and
Also a Satisfactory Purity Sixteen Plats for Experi
ment This Year
Through . the cooperation j of F.
A. Doerfler, farm advisor of the
First National bank of Salem, and
through the Interest of the Utah
Idaho Sugar company and J. V.
Tinipson, Washington manager of
the company with headquartersjat
Bellingham," there will be made a
more thorough test this year than
heretofore as to whether the right
kind of sugar beets can be grown
in the vicinity of Salem, and with
sufficient yields to make sugar
beets a paying crop.
. Sometime ag&-the Salem cham
ber of commerce corresponded
with Mr. Timpson regarding sugar
beet growing in tbis part of the
valley, and he expressed a will
ingness, to setidla supply of seed,
prorided it , would be distributed
among farmeVs who had - land
adapted to sugar beet growing.
Mr. Timpson sent a supply of
seed which has been taken by the
farmers who will from time to
time receive special bulletins re
garding cultivation and harvesting
and later, directions in regard to
having the beets tested for sugar
content.
