'removed until settled for. MARY BAUMBARTNLR. J. N. Burkhead. Auct. Fred Inch. Clark -—I —— - - HIGH PRICES PAID FOR SUGAR BEETB THIS YEAR. The Holland St. Loui* Sugar company will, this year, pay more fur sugar beets than they have ever paid before. The glowers have already been paid 15.00 per ton and in the first part of February will be paid an additional bonus dependent upon the price of sugar during the months of October. November, December and January. From the present prices, this bonus will amount to about >1.75 per ton of beets and will make the total amount paid 16.75 or better per ton. Considering that a good crop of beets in this locality runs front sixteen to eighteen tons per acre. It can readily be seen that they would bring from 1108 to 1120 per acre. The cost per acre of producing beets varies much, according to the condition of the land, ability of the farmer aa a manager, size of the crop. etc. Statistics taken from 216 farmers in .Michigan gave an average cost for all labor jterformed at 126.75 per acre, hut new growers will usually find the cost from 130 to 936 per acre. This includes all the lalxir expended from plowing the ground to hauling the beets. The cost of hauling beets on fairly good roads is about forty cents per ton for the first mile with ten cent; per ton added for each additional mile. There is enough good sugar beet land in Indiana which if used to grow beets one year in ten would produce all the sugar consumed in the state, and a surplus to sell outside the state of many millions of dollars worth every year. At the same time it would also increase the prbduetion of corn and other crops now raised. We quote from the I’. -S. department of agriculture, bureau of plant industry. Bulletin No. 780. The Amcrigan Sugar Industry in 1910 and 1911: ’ I, , '■That the culture of the sugar beet has played -an important role’ Tn the improvement of European agriculture and that it is to he credited with much of the increased returns from other crops is firmly beleived by German writers. We quote a free translation front one of the most eminent authorities. Prof. K. von Hunker, of the University of Breslau: '■’The high yields which are secured from cereals and other crops in beet localities date from the introduction of rational beet culture, which is, therefore, the direct and indirect cause of this increase in the gross and net returns of the whole agriculture, I and thereby also in the land values in the above mentioned localities. “ 'Sim e the introduction of beet! culture, despite a reduction of the 1 acreage of grain, the total grain yield has been increased. “ ‘As important as was the introduction of clover culture, it docs not compare with the progress derived' from beet culture on the heavy soils' and from potato culture on the higher soils.' ” The beneficial effects of sugar beet culture on general agriculture have been so long established and accepted as a matter of fact in Germany that it is difficult to find any recent experiments bearing on this point. This industry is coming to Indiana as surely as the corn industry was coming fifty years ago. and farmers who arc alert and intend to keep up with the times are investigating and experimenting. The beet roots take very little from the soil. a t they are mostly sugar and water, neither of which arc taken from the laud. The tops contain twice as mu< h soil fertility as the roots, but they -arc kept on the farm and fed to cattle or used as fertilizer. Then the beet roots deeply and leaves the ground full of small hairlike roots; this amounts to over one ton per acre, and the lifter in the fall subsoils the land, breaks up the old plow pan and leaves the ground in good physical condition. The beet crop also leads to a systematic crop rotation and better methods of farming. For these reasons the sugar beet crop wherever it has been followed persistently lias raised farming efficiency and produced reliable and prof itabic crops. t orn is now bringing a high price, but the price of corn is one of supply -inti demand and when one considers that the I. C. corn crop was very short last year and that reports show that a one-third larger acreage will be planted next year, it is easy to see that the < hances arc extremely good for a much larger price next year, The yield of beets this year per a< re was by far the lowest it has been for years and yet growers in localities where beets have been grown for sometime realize the possibilities of growing them with present prices and are t (Nitrating larger acreage thau ct ci leiorc. Supplic of augur in Europe are much lower than they were last year and there is U o question but that mg ar will also be high next year and perhaps much higher thau this past yea/ Possibilities of netting ver y ] arge '
