IN SUGAR BEETS
IN CALIFORNIA
Seventy Thousand Acres In Southern
California Alone Yield Over Nine
Millions Sugar in Addition to By
products Favorite Crop With the
Farmers of All Sections.
LOS ANGELKS, Jan. S. The fol
lowing facts show tho importance to
California of tho sugar beet Industry:
Sugar boots tiring into tho state an
nually on an average of $1.000,000.
Seventy thousand acres in South
ern California, in 10H, yielded 700,
000 tons of KUgarlects. or 200,500,
000 pounds of sugar, netting nhoiil
JD.SUL'.riOO.
There are ten factories in the state
which have an average total capacity
of about .ir.,000 bags of 100 pounds
onch.
Operating during the season of
JHH, beginning July and closing In
Is'oveinbtT or December, there wore
ten beet sugar mills, tho following of
-which aro located in Southern Cal Cal
ieornia: Anaheim Sugar company, at
Anaheim; American Uoet Sugar com
pany, at Oxnartl and ul China; Holly
Sugar Company at Huntington Heach;
I.os Alnmltos factory at t.as Alniiil
tos; Santa Ana Co-oporatlvu Sugar
company at Santa Ana; and tho
Southern California Sugar company at
Santa Ana.
1(10,000 Tons of Sugar.
Tho combined ten mills of tho State
have a capacity for slicing over 12,
000 tons of beets and producing about
Sfi.000 bags of sugar dally. The prod
uct of these mills annually will
amount to about 160,000 tons of
sugar, this being over one-fourth of
the entire amount of beet sugar pro
duced in tho United States and which
at a fair average price of 4 1-2 cents
per pound would amount to 1 14,100,
000. Of this production about one-fourth j
is consumed In the state of Califor
nia, the remainder being hhlppcd to
the Middle Western states.
The area planted to beets In the
state Is estimated at 115,000 acres,
of which about 70.000 acres are In
Southern California. Tho letter's
1914 crop, though as yet the official
figures have not been prepared, is
estimated at about 700,000 tons.
J'opulnr With Farmers.
The raising of sugar beets has
grown popular with the farmers for
many reasons, among them being the
knowledge in advanco of just how
much a ton of beets is going to
bring; and In addition to this, the
farmers have found that, on account
of tho intensive cultivation, required
for growing beets, when grown
in rotation with other crops tho lat
ter show an increase In yield ns high
as 50 per cent.
Another reason is tho fact that the
b(ct sugar companies usually ad
vance money on a growing crop to
enable tho farmer to pay for the
work of producing and they also liavo
cuuutantly among them agriculturists
who aro experts In tho handling of
this crop, lo instruct them not only
to get a good quality of ht-cts hut
ali;o a good tonuago per a.cre.
Six Dollars u Ton.
Tho prico paid by tho sugar com
panies to tho farmers for beets thfs
year Is ut the rato of $4.50 per ton
for beets containing 15 per cent of
sugar with 30 cents added for each
additional 1 r cent of sugar. Or In
other words, beets containing 20 per
cent of sugar would net tho farmer
ft", per ton.
Though n smaller acreage ivas
planted this year than in 11)1.1, tho
tonnage per aero woh higher. Tho
Southern California licet (Irowera As
sociation estimated that the aver
ago production was ten tons per nero
for which the average prlco was $!
per ton or ?CQ per aero. This means
$1,200,000 that tho growers received
for their product.
OoM 1'cr Aero of 1'roriiiclntf.
Tho estimated cost of growing
beets is $35 per acre. During tho
year tho growers therefore mndo n
clear profit, of $25 per aero.
The sugar beet required from flyo
to six months to acqulro its normal
sugar content. This Is taken from
tho air through tho demluui of the
leaves and not from tho soil.
Tho seeding time starts In Decem
ber and continues to tho following
March or April. Tho beots aro us
ually ready for harvesting from tho
middle to tho latter part of July, and
Uio harvesting continues until tho
middle or latter part of November.
