WHAT IS OUR BEST BET?

.t ' The Statesman a few days ago mentioned the fact that
George Vick, newly chosen as director of the department of
asriciilture of the Salem Chamber of Commerce, was making
a study of. the walnut and filbert industries', with the idea of
inducing the carrying on of a slogan campaign for walnuts
and filberts, or walnuts or filberts, oaTevery farm; or every
farm with suitable land - ; , , ; - . .
- ! With the.idea of doing something cbnstruciive for the
good of both the cities and towns and .of, the rufal sections of
the Salem district . - ' 1
'' And doing the' thing that wpuld be the' best thing to do
in thai regard'""' ' -
t Picking out the very best bet. .. ;
;! ;n that the bestbet? r '
Consider the tonnage TfronTa few acres of walnut trees,
or of filbert trees, in full bearing, and then spread that to all
the farms of this section, and consider what an immense sum
of money, they would bring each year new money, from long
distances i
'And growing in volume year after year, for many gener
ations for. thousands of years, for walnut and filbert trees
never grow old, given good attention. But they grow big and
constantly more fruitful.
; 'The idea of a slogan fof walnuts and filberts on all farms
having suitable land for them is entrancing. It is a big idea.
- But there are others. What does the reader say is our
best :bet?,-:-- - --r ' " -
i - For developing, rapidly our, dairying and live stock in
dustries, nothing would do as much as the making of beet
sugar, and this would mean the. conserving of the fertility of
our lands, and the building up of their fertility. There could
scarcely be any thing more desirable
, . . i , And the inepme per acre would be great. It is possible to
get 6000 to 10,000 pounds of sugar an acre a year ; more than
from an acre of sugar cane.; Constant experiments and .im
proved practices are-bringing up sugar beet tonnages and
sucrose (sugar) content to the ton of beets. 'Also better prac
tices are beingfound, for the feeding of beet tops and beet
"pulp and molasses to live stock.
' Why. may we not have both campaigns at once the one
for a beet sugar factory and the one for. walnuts and filberts!
on every, farm with suitable soil? ''. .
; The following, from Facts About Sugar, the leading mag
adne' of the'iridustry published in New York, gives some
ideas of the present big yields of sugar beets:'
f. SALT LAKE CITT, UUh, Dec 5. The sugar beet harvest is
over in the Intcrmoontain country, and- some ot the factories are
ah-eady 'closing downwhUe most of the others will have completed
. their slicing campaigns by the end of the year. The Ogden plant of
the Amalgamated Sugar company has already closed after a run in
Mhtch.th dally slicing average was 1,400 tons, with a high record of
L 1,5 2 5 tons. ' - . . .
' Some interesting reports of beet yields have been received. Presi
dent TW7 P. Ellison ot the Paris and Weber Counties Canal company
. said this week that the records of his company show an average of
14 tons Of beets' per acre for the entire acreage contracted.;? f
' ' At' IcCammon, in sou thern' Idaho,' Thortas Peterson : obtained
2$ 'tons of beets to 4he acre front a nine-acre field. Anothef grower
lit' the same district cot an ajrexage. of 17.5 tons per acre-ttoni a
. tract bri'ssps i-1 AUVJ t . r
v The farmers "are now .nsy 'hauling beet pulp and molasses . for
their sheep, and . catjtle the crop this
year have had an "encouraging effect on the acreage outlook for 1926.
in"; spite 6t the 'lowgrieea IntftXtTizw the feeling
"among the farmers' U il-eported to be better, than i'twas a year ago.
The matter of the contract was discussed at a meeting of the
Mtab Farm Bnreati committee on .November 29, an'dtba opinion was
pressed; iinformally. that - the contract would carry terms similar
Wthi year's." Members of the committee said that the growers were
well satisfied, on the whole, with the 1925- contract which parries a
guaranteed minimum price of-96 a, ion, with additional iayments
- depending ' on;the sugaricontent. of the' beets'and the. price obtained

Thertf Is every appearance that
the. artificially, dried flax Is as
-strong as if it ha dbeen .drcld in
the! bub, and the experts believe
that, is thQ .requisite for twine and

there is always a dry season in
this district, as well as a wet 83&

Cine linens can still be dried ,ln

It will bonecessary :tojhave

of Its output win. be materially in

be carried on constantly. The
penitentiary can carry on such ex
periments at a very , muCti lower
cost than such work could be done
