GOOD CROP FOR INDIANA. Farmers Find Profit In Sugar Beets •nd Increased Yield of Other Crops. How sugar beet growing In Indiana j has worked out thus far in actual practice may be seen by a few Instances ’ of Indiana fanners who have planted i the new crop and have kept a record ( of cost and profit. 11. Haggard of Mon- , roe put twenty acres Into sugar beets. ’ He gathered fifteen tons per acre, n little above the average crop, and made a profit of S.BOO, or S4O an acre. John Hyerly of Bluffton got a crop of nineteen tons to the acre from a field of thirteen acres. His profit after de- . ducting all expenses was $62 an acre. II This, be said, was the biggest profit he 1 had ever made on farming land. Fred Isch of Bluffton kept a careful I I account of bis different crops His ’ i corn netted him a profit of S2B an acre. ' 1 his oats $lB, and twelve and a half acres of sugar beets gave him $52 an acre j above expenses. This, be said, proved to his satisfaction that “beet growing I Is n money maker for the farmer, aside I from the vast amount of good his land derives from beets and the lessons In I I scientific farming they teach him." ) Fifteen acres in sugar beets gave a ; yield of eleven tons to the acre on the i ( farm of E. W. Bushy of Monroe. Mr. | Bushy declared that he was well pleas- I ed with the outcome of his first season 1 with the crop. ' “We had an unusual rainfall here-1 > abouts." he said, "which Injured all ; our crops, and I feel sure that with , the usual weather I could almost double my tonnage per acre. As It was. I I made a profit of about $25 i>er acre, j and, although I have not had any per- ' sonal experience of the good the land receives from cultivating beets. I have | i seen other farmers wjio have almost I doubled their oat crop by rotation with beets.” I William Caesar of Preble had raised beets In Michigan for seven years before coming to Indiana. lie said that , the rainy season of last year did not < give a fair test tft the Indiana soil, yet ( he found his new land better fitted for the crop than the farm he had left In Michigan. Even with 1.-isKyear’s rainy ! weather he avcsged thirteen tons of • beets to the acre and looked for from fifteen to twenty in the coming season. He planted fourteen acres last year and this spring will plant forty. “I know from actual experience.” he said, “that a farmer can harvest from twenty-five to thirty bushels more oats per acre on the land he has sown to beets than he could before growing them.” L. A. Thomas of Monroe, who was growing beets for the second time last year, said that his beet crop had dropped from twenty tons to the acre to eleven on account of the unfavorable weather, but that he felt he had made a big profit notwithstanding. The oats which he planted on his former beet labd yielded double the amount he had been accustomed to harvest because of the added fertility of the soli produced by beet cultivation. SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY. Wages and Prices of Beets Much Higher In the United States. The difference l»etween the conditions under which beet sugar is produced in the United States and Europe is strikingly shown by a report just pul>lished as a United States senate document. Summarizing 117 reports from various European countries, this document shows that tis cents a day was the highest rate earned by men working In the European beet fields, while 46 cents was the average rate. In al! the European countries, however, the greater part of the field labor is done by women and children at wages rang ing from 10 cents a' day for children In Russia to 36 cents a day for women in Denmark. To these poor laborers the $2.60 a day, which represents the average earnings of field workers in the United States, must appear a princely Income. Among the factory workers engaged In l>eet sugar production the difference Is equally striking. The men working I in the factories of the great European ' sugar making countries. France and I Germany, receive an average dally , wage of 84 cents, according to official figures published by their own govern- | ments. The average American wage i. for employees in the beet sugar fncto- ' ries. $2.99 a day, is more than three times as great Likewise the farmers who grow the beets in Europe receive only $4 to ' $4.50 a ton for their crops, although they pay four to five times as much rent for their land as the American farmer does. While these figures serve to show why It is that Europe can produce sugar cheaper than the United States, It Is nn interesting fact that the only important country of Europe where the people are able to buy sugar cheaper tiffin In the United States Is England. Even In England thg price paid for the sugar most generally used 1 Is as high as the prices paid here On | the whole, the lot of an American sugar beet grower or worker must be considered preferable to that of his Euro, pean competitor. i Root Crop Every Fourth Year. Few persons realize that a large por- 1 tion of Germany Is but a sandy plain and her enormous crop yields due tn the fact that for each three acres of cereals grown her farmers raise one acre of hoed crops, thus producing a ' root crop on each field every fourth year.
