The following extract from nn ox

"It has been my pleasuro to visit
Jackson county during the past week
and to study the conditions which

"In 1R01 I began experimenting
with sugar beets In Oregon, believing
that -we had within our state tho re
quisite conditions for the production
of beets rich In sugar and with high
liurlty. In 18D2 the experiments wero
again conducted, beets being grown
by representative fanners In dlffor
nt sections of the state. Tho U. S.
agricultural department also con
ducted Independent experiments
along tho snmo lino. Tho results ob
tnlimd In tho experiments mado In
lacVson county Interested mo partic
ularly, Inasmuch as tho sugar content
the purity of the beets analyzed were
high, and other economical conditions
Including fuel, limestone and water
supply, seem especially favorablo to
the development of this Important
industry.
Constituents for Sugar
"That you people will have a bet- (
tor understanding of this matter, al
low mo to say that a good sugar boot
xhould contain 1 J per cent sugnr and
havn n purity of 80 and should havo '
a long tuporlng root without branch-,
tug rootlets.
"Tho beets from Jaclfton county
analyzed previously to this year gavo
an average of 1 7.0:1 sugar: purity
beets may be divided Into three pe
ilods: that of germination; that of
plant formation, and that of sugar
