A SUGAR INDUSTRY SERIES Article No. 1 The Statesman proposes, from day today, or every few days, to print in this department a series of editorial articles on the sugar industry, with special reference to beet sugar, ami more particularly stressing the fact that the Willamette valley is the logical section of the United States for the location of the next twenty or more beet sugar factories And that Salem is the logical place for the first one With the claim that this is Salem's next best bet in devel oping here a great manufacturing district, with the range of her plants as wide as and even wider than the marvelous diversity of her outstanding products or possible products on the land. Very frankly, the preparation and publication of this series is being undertaken with a view to answering the questions of prospective builders of sugar factories here nen who are already looking this way, or whose attention it is easily possible to secure And, secondly, with a view to calling the attention of our farmers to the fact that sugar y?rpfj.table rotation crop for them ; profitable considered as a Biraiyni cropt to turnisn to tne lactones, on the same terms as moit' growers in this country are making with the manu facturers of sugar that is, on a fifty-fifty contract, the factory Wner getting half the sugar and.the farmer the other half made from his beets, each standing half the seeing ex penses, and the final division being made after the sugar is marketed; but in most cases the factory owners advancing the seed and in some cases planting it, and also paying the grower a stipulated sum, say $G a ton, upon the delivery of his beets. ;N V The writer would be pleased to have all the growers of this section follow and file this series of articles. The manu facturers who are interested, or may become interested, will not fail to do this. r--'ln the first place, can we sufficient tonnage per acre, and with a high'enbugh ""sucrose (sugar) content, to justify the growing as a desirable and profitable crop, and in large enough guaranteed annual ton nage to justify the building of sugar factories? The latter is important, because a sugar factory costs to build a million dollars to two or three millions, and it cannot be operated pj-ofitably without the beets to run it to full capacity; not one year, but every year. L rMTo the first question, the decidedly yes, for ourpossible delimited, especially when it proportion of our Willamette And beets are such a good rotation crop, and so beneficial in their by-products, that a few acres might be grown on almost every one of our farms, not only without interfering with the production of other crops, but with an increase of the pro duration of almost every other crop. Experiments had been made here long before the World As long as 15 years ago, Willamette vallev with 25 Der rate of over zu tons to tne acre, mat sugar content is very unusual, for any country. It is exceptional. It could be ?;reached here only under exceptional conditions and with ex ceptional soil and cultural methods. But it shows our possi bility, and no other section of better showing, if any better. The University of Louisiana, now carrying on beet sugar experiments, with a view to sub stituting in that state beets for cane in making sugar, has just given out the statement that a 10 per cent 6ugar content beei there would make a better raw product for that state than cane in making sugar. lit 2" In both 1924 and 1925 experimental plats of beets were i -".t , - .. . . . . . itffTCj-wn in the Salem district, for the Utah-Idaho Sugar com ; Tony's new factotry at Bellingham, Washington, both of them unfavorable years for beet growing, and in no case did the sugar Content reach as low as 10 per cent. The beets were 'grpwn in various types of our soil, from hill land to our sandy , driver bottoms, and our heavy beaverdam land. In order to Kfrite this in the record of this series, the following full fig ' Jures of these experiments are given below : V-;Bet Sugar Experiments Made in the Willamette Valley Near Salem, in 1924 -Si Name and Address j - t "i L.

Silverton 18.0 A STADIUM FOR SALEM There is a capital suggestion in the news columns of The Statesman of this morning, setting forth the idea of i a sta dium on the grounds of the new junior high school to be built in South Salem. Nature has prepared an ideal site, that may be arranged at very small cost, fit b accommodate large gatherings. Salem needs a stadium Also a large auditorium to accommodate unusual gather ings under roof. ' The latter would cost a lot of money, though it could be made to pay its way and provide a sinking fund to wipe out its cost, as the one at Hillsboro is doing. The cost of the proposed ! South Salem stadium ; might be made a revenue producer for the school district. It would help to mike Sal6m more of a convention city. This would benefit every line! of business here, and make Salem an increasing attractive residence ciy. There is also an interesting suggestion i the news item referred to about the deposition of the large Meteorite found on the new school site. Proper disposition should be made of this visitor from outer space or some other platet. : L ; SOCIETY (Continued from pajre, and Mrs. W. M. Hughes.

Xational YWCA Project The farm woman is hemming Ibo object of attention from na tional movements and organiza tions hithrtofore solely concern ed with city dwellers. So says Mfss Anna Clark of Now York, a rural expert and affiliated with a dozen movements. "To win the farm woman's co operation we and other move ments are reaching out to her doorstep," said Miss , Clark whfn seen at her national YWCA office. "She and her sister of the small rural isolated communities form the biggest source of unused pow er in our nation at present. She has an experience and outlook on life that we as a nation sorely need as a counterbalance to the jazz age." Public health agencies are now sending research workers Into iso lated districts.

Nearly every other crop was or is early this year, but evergreen blackberries are about the same as in ot'ier years. Their roots go deep. The weather does not affect them much. There will be a big crop, and the berries will be big ger and better as the season ad vances. Their peak will not come till the latter part of next week.

STADIUM UP ON TUXEDO TRACT WOULD AID CITY ( Continued from na.se 1.) excellent natural outlet for drain jage of the entire basin, which in most cases proves a problem. This basin or proposed stadium is from five to six feet above the flat or eastern part of Tuxedo l'ak, which is also being consid ered as an athletic field, and it would make a good one, but does not afford the natural require ments for a ftadiuni. but i larger and when tile drained and set-ded to bine grass or some other kind of lawn grass, would makeii won dciful athletic field, as it contains from three to five acres. Which ever plan is adopted for an ath letic field at Tuxedo Park, Salem is assured one of the best school athletic fields in western Oregon. Meteor on Tuxedo Paik Another matter we wish to men tion in the form of a suggestion and that is. few probably know that a large meteor lies near a great indentation in the ground which it made when ..-it fell . on Tuxedo Park just bak of "the building site near the bottom of the little ravine. This mewor is o a fine granite-like formation and would take on a high polish. It will weigh nearly a ton. and in our opinion would form a fine and somewhat unusual cornerstone for the new junior high building. The fact that no other stones or rorks aie found anywhere in that dis trict, especially of this queer, granite-like formation of this stone in question, has ltd those who have examined it and its sur roundings, to declare it to be a meteor. Whether .r not this con clusion is correct is a matter for Mr, R. H. Kletsing, Adv. Mgr."

And ad vantage . should be taken of the preparation of the conditions of nature to make a stadium:. Sa lem needs a stadium. It would adverli.-e the city. It would help to bring large , gatherings here. It would contribute to the advan tages and attractions of this city. It would be worth many times its cost. Incidentally it would boost South Salem. But that wouM lfelp every other part of the city, be cause the time is here when Salem must think in terms of a large city. A' manufacturing city. The center of many industries. The manufaih uring and marketing and shipping and banking center of varied products, a number of them the best in the world, and the most profitable for the. men on the land.
