Carey of North Talent Tells of Ex perienceGrows Easily 25 or 30 Tons Per Acre Willi Little Work Says Factor.' Is Greatest Oppor tunity Ever Offered to Valley. To tho Kdlter: Ah there bavo boon Bovernl com munications regarding the sugar beet factory which It Is proposed to erect Iu the valley, I have become Inter cKtcd and feel like adding a word. I have been talking with a number of farmers and buslm-ps men who kcoiii willing to lend their support. I have been In tho truck garden ihuslnchfi In this valley for the last 2., tears nml have raised sugar beets for feeding stock, acres of them, and inve found them profitable because of the largo amount that could be raised upon an acre. Of course I am not saying that It Is In set rich quick proposition but sugar beets nre n sure crop, with littlo risk, i ami small outlay for seed, machinery. 'etc. ' TKaa la Mn ntnAA tt'linr. 1iaa4i mm M 111 V in I lJ nniJ n uviv uvuia (.Mil bo rnUo with loss work than in this vnlley. As thoro are fewer pests and soil and climatic clndltlons arc more favorable than In most places. I have raised from 25 to 20 tons per acre with but very little water, nml I did find It any more work to ralw; nn acre of bcots, than an acre If potatoes or corn. 1 am sure there Is no enterprlso be fore the farmers at tho present time that would be if greater benefit than the building of the beet sugar factory ns that would insure a cash market for tho beets after tliey aro- -grown, and Micro will ba no gamblo ns to prices or a demand for tho crop. It has been shown that beets raised here, tost tho highest of any grown elsawhere on tho western const, thus making n sure demand for tho crop. I ntn sure the farmers will make no mistake in raising tho sugar beet as there is nothing to looso on the partvOf the farmer, as there will )e somo ono to show those how to ralso them, if they do not know blw, seed will be furnished, so thoro will bo no risk of not getting the right variety. Proper methods will be explained In inlslng mid In caring for the crop. lleut raising will put our land into tho highest stnto of cultivation. Hoots aro a fine crop to ralso between young trees. There seems to bo no troublo to In terest tho man who has over rnlsed , beets, only those who have not tried It seem afraid to sign up. Now tho beet factory Is Just llko ' tho public market. Many kicked in our midst on tho market because they had never seen ono in oporation. Hut they would not lot that go now because It is a sure way to dispose of nny thing rnlsed. I worked hard for that also because I knew Its benefits to tho farmer. Likewise our two can neries which nro of greatest beuefit to tho orchardlst mid gnrdnor. I.ct us nil pull for tlio sugar beet factory.' It will benefit tho farmor. tho day laborer, tho wood chopper, in fact. It Is hard to find any person whom It will not benefit.

Carpenter Tells What Sugar Beets Mean to Farmers and Orclt ardlsts and Says It Is Most Prof liable and Surest of Crops Pays Growers Wherever Tried. i To the Kdlter: I wlh to say a word In regard to the eitatillshment of a boot sugar fnc tory In tho Itoguo rivor valley. I bavo heard much discussion about the advisability of such a thing and I wont to say Hint any farmer who In not willing to devoto all tho acreage ho can spare to this object, Is work ing against his own interest ns welt ns against tho development of tho val ley. I know from nctunl experience that a beet sugar factory Is tho best thing that has como this way from n financial standpoint, as the farmer will find out after the first season. Tho tops mako tho finest kind of fod der for dairy cows. Tho dried pulp l highly benclaclal. Profit Per Aero I feel that It would bo a great mis. take to pass thjs proposition up, ns tho farmer can clear from $30 to SI 00 per acre, from land that at pres ent ho Is getting scarcely anything from. If you go into this beet raising bus iness, you know beforo hand what you aro going"' to get. as tho beets are already sold, tho price per ton Is es tablished, and you can't loso. If you farmers pass this opportunity up, you 'should forcTcr after hold your peaco and never grnmblo about not being ablo to make raonoy, on your land whllo your trees nro growing, or not being able to break-even. at tbo end of the'eeajon at least. Mils for J'lwfc Sugar I am going to put nil tho acreage In beets that I can sparo, and wilt glvo $10 for tho first sack of sugar produced, and Jf there Is any ono that wants It more than I do thoy will liavo to bid moro. I can further say that Mr. Ilromley's statement In re gard to tho expenso of raising beets Is practically truo. Farmers who have families ran very materially re duce tho expenso by doing tho work tbomsolves. It makes no dlffercnco what valuo you place on your land, it comes back, to the old saw, what will It produco? Orange county. Cat,, has a beet acre age of 40.00Q (teres and fivo sugar beet factories. Do you think thoy would ralso beets there If it did not pay, whero land values nro ns high as they aro hero. I want tho sugar companies checks, I havo had them before and they look good to mo.
