SUGAR BEET CULTURE.
Expert In the Agricultural Department
Has Prepared a Report.
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.
Within the past few years thero
has been a remarkable Increase In
the percentage of sugar In tho beets.
A few years ago 12 per cent of sugar
