Tho third epoch in Lie history of

The one handicap the lack of
market under which tho Rogue
River valley producer has always la
bored, is hj the establishment of tho
sugar industry removed. Not only is
tlioro a cash market made for tbo
beets produced, but there is nlso fro
nted a ready cash market for a vast
amount of other products. The num
ber of regularly employed laborers
will bo greatly increased, supplying
our one great need, a payroll.
In my mind, tho very greatest ben

the establishment of the sugar indus'

It is estimated that between 35,000,

20,000 and 25,000 cords. It will take
the nnnual output of any sawmill how
operating in Jackson county to put
up the buildings if lumber is used.
A four-pound beet is woith ono
cent. If you havo n crop growing you
can tell what you tonvo coming hy
counting your beets, making pure they
weigh four pounds, which can easily

four-pound beet is not a largo beet.
A perfect stand of beets on an ncro
