This article is written for the fann ers of Itoguu Hiver valley who hesi tute to agree to raise n given acre age of sugar beets in order to insure the location among them of a beet sugar factory. They need the su perior profits derived from the sugar beet crop in comparison with the profits of other crops. They need the industrial enterprise that sugar beet culture will bring to the valley. They need the money it will invest here. They need the by-products of the beets after the sugar has been extracted. They need the additional industrial population such a mill will bring to us, both in field and factory help. They need the additional pro ductive value the cultivation of sugar beets will give to their soil. They need to produce nunc profit to the acre from every ncre they plow. They need the results of intensive cultiva tion that beet culturo -will surely bring. They need, in short, every ele ment of advanced chanue that beet raising nnd the sugar mill will cer tainly bring to them. Why .This lle.sllanc) '.' The net profit on an acre of beets is mole than '200 per cent greater than that on crain. ,'fhc net profit on an acre of beets is moic than 10(1 cr cent greatur than that on beans. The net profit on an acre of beets is nearly 10(1 per cent greater than that on potatoes. The net profit on nu acre of beets is nearly 100 per cent greater than that on nu Mere of iiciik. These figures are tukeii from of ficial data from the department of agriculture of the United States. Compare them with the profits on any thing we raise in thi valley in a period of five years. While tho yield in superior profit on a single acre stands out so mark edly, multiply the results bv the yield on J 00 acres. The gain, then, of beets over other crops is from $1200 to $2000. These results nre found nf ter taking out the extra cost in work in the production of the sugar beets. Wnho Up, Mr. Farmer! Tn a copyrighted article bv 15. I. Adams in the Pacific Northwest ho says that the final test of the value of uiiy crop is the maximum financial returns for the minimum drain on soil fertility. The aim of every thinking farmer is to prolong the life of his bind indefinitely and at the same time to receive the gi cutest acreage re turns. He builds not alone for the proecut, but for the future as well, nnd the scheme of growing which brings in the greatest returns for u criod of years should be the one he selects. In this connection the valine of the. sugar beet has been proven time and again. Aside from the gicat benefit to the laud, is the income. That is precise ly what the fanners of I'ogue Hiver valley want just now, more than any thing cNc the income the certain incnmc-thu iucointi that Is insured before he planU his field of beets. In the pro'daetioii of the latter he has nothing to worry about, sae the problem of getting tho biggest pos sible .Meld of the right kind ol beets to deliver to the factory. The fac tory pays him the cash and makes the sugar. He doesn't need to worry about that. Then, why do you hi'-i-f ute. Air. Farmer? Whv don't you come to There urc big, shiny twenty-dollar gold pieces before you, within eusv icncli. Come out of it and grab them! I know, and you know, and (lod knows ou need them! IMik nt These Figures Take the gineral statement of the beet industry throughout tho United Slater, in 1012, the latest data con leniently at hand, as an example. Would we bo niising sugar beeU at all if it didn't pay ui Would we continue to increase our acreage, j ear uttor jear, if sugar beets didn't pay the fanner?

Anecdotal Illustration To hesitate when everything is made so clear and plain as the unus ual pmfit in sugar brct culture re minds one of the story told on the old fanner who refused to believe that sueb an animal as tho giraffe ever existed. He Meat to the circus to make sure of it. Filtering the menagerie, the first critter that at tracted his attention was the giraffe long, unshapely thing with a neck that enabled the monster to rub its nose on the tent ceiling. Josh walked around it, viewed it, studied it. while the giraffe swung nnd wriggled and ate l.uily Finclly, when the show Was over, Josh took a long, last look at the cientnre and said: "Hell!
