Soft Shell Walnuts Eastern Rice Popcorn Royal Dried Apricots THE BEST OF EVERYTHING AT PRICES THAT ARE RIGHT KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality First SUGAR BEETS AND WATER. The present season has demon strated, certain facts regarding the culture of sugar beets in the Rogue valley that must be given due con sideration in the taking of contracts for acreage next season. .The first, and undoubtedly the vital fact is that It is practically useless to plant beets unless there is water for Irri gation. There may be a tew Isolated pieces of ground where good crops are produced without the artificial application of water. These pieces are sub-irrigated. As a general rule. Irrigation la a requisite. Good soil la another condition, and while the Rogue valley loams are primarily all good and fertile soils, some pieces have been robbed of plant-growing dements by continuous ' cropping without being budded up with fer tiliser or protected through crop ro tation. The beet will respond Just aa readily to fertile soil as will any other plant Climate and sunshine will not grow a beet unless the best eeed Is planted under proper condi tions of soil. The wonderful crops of beets now about ready for the harvest grown by the Hoods, by Flanagan & Cornell, and by scores of others who used their 'best soils and gave proper care, proves that the Rogue valley has no superior for their growth. Experts state that better, fields or choicer beets have not been grown in the country. The tests now being made ' by the factory chemists prove the quality. The beets upon the grourd prove the quantity. What more do you want? The farmer who has the soil but not the water should begin at once to interest himself in the question of irrigation. Many farms are so situated that they can obtain water at reasonable expense through pump ing. Data should be obtained upon irrigation plants that can be put in later should the efforts now , being directed toward general irrigation not materialize. Water Is the salva tion of the country, and as the first step in sugar beet growing, as In any other farming operation here, the irrigation question must come first. evening.
