COMPARE RESULTS
OF SUGAR BEETS
WI1H OTHER CROPS
Hy W. W. WATSON.
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? Let these figuies

This Man
Tim man with vigorous, virile health and a elear
mind ,who brushes away obstacles and rejoices in
overcoming difficulties, is bound lo succeed. His
is thu joyous outlook on life.
Physical and mental conditions like these come
largely through proper eating 'Kood makes the
man."
Now it is a fact attested by food experts that
the modern dietary is woefully lacking in the very
elenienth that put success into a man. They are the
mineral salts Phosphate of Potash, etc. White
bread is almost wholly lacking in them. JJnt there
is one food that rich I v supplies these vital ele
ments, and that food is
Grape-Nuts
.Made from whole wheat and barley, CJrape
Xnts contains all the nutriment of tho grain, in
cluding the valuable mineral salts. It is easily
digested, is concentrated and has delicious taste. A
daily ration of (Jrnpc-Xnts along with other food
helps build vigoioie bodies and keen brainy.
