A report on the progress of the beet sugar Industry In 1903, prepared by Charles F. Saylor, special agent of the United States department of agricul ture, and printed by authority of con gress, Is about to be Issued. It shows that there has been an In crease In the number of beet BUgar factories In the United States from 43 at the close of 1902 to 50 at the beginning of 1904. Fifty of these were in operation during the "cam paign" of 1903. According to the report the sugar beet crop of 1903 amounted to a little more than 2,000,000 tons harvested from 242,576 acres, the average yield being about SV& tons to the acre. The prices which the farmers re ceived for beets from the different factory companies ranged from $4.50 to $5.G0 per ton, the average being nearly $5. The average gross returns to the farmers were, therefore, $42.50 per acre. The estimated cost 6f growing beets by Irrigation Is $40 per acre, and In sections where Irrigation Is not necessary, $30. If $35 be taken as the average for the whole crop of 1903. the average net profit to the farmers was $7.50 per acre. i In some of the sugar beet areas, the returns were very much higher than this general average. As In the pro-1 ductlon of other crops, much depends on the season, the character of tho land, and the kind of farmer who grows the beets. .Many farmers have cleared from $25 to $50 per acre. The best result record for 1903 was secured by a farmer of Otero county, Colorado. He grew one aero of sugar beets at a cost of about $37.50; tho yield of beets was 33 tons, for which he received $158, his net returns be ing about $130. The amount of sugar mado from the beet crop of 1903 was 240,004 tons, ns compared with 2 IS, 405 tons from the crop of 1902, and 184,005 tons from that of 1901.
