No Crop Is Surer Os A Market And A Guaranteed Price The demand for sugar in the United States has never been supplied from the product of cane and beets raised at home. You have heard of corn crops waiting for a market, or low yields of wheat not worth harvesting, of cattle turned into corn fields, and oats not threshed on account of wet weather. BUT YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BEETS REMAINING IN THE FiELD UNHARVESTED FOR WANT OF A MARKET. No Crop Can Be Converted Into A More Suitable Form For Distance Shipment» It Is One Os The Best Crops For Rotating With Other Crops The intensive cultivation of the beet crop, the open condition of the soil in late fall after harvesting, leave the ground in the fine shape for the next year’s crop. Because of those advantages of ability, both of the crop and of the market, grower and manufacturer can make their plans for the future with a greater degree of assurance that their plans can be executed than dould be done with any other crop. who appreciate the above facts are signing contracts for the coming wv year rapidly.
