"The n vera ire American consumes eight two pounds of sugar euch year, and only ten pounds of that ratiou are now produced in this country. The farmers of the country should keep that money at home in other words, put it in their own pockets.'' The. foregofnj; statement appears in a bulletin which th Department of Agriculture ban is led reviewing the progress of the beet siuvir Industry durin the past jmr. The rJ Tt proceeds to-point out that while the produciinn of sugar from beets has ad-

vanced very rapidly, more. than 5,000,1 000 tons of beets haying been grown

last season, 2,O00.000 acres additional should be devoted to this crop in order to produce at home the sugar now purchased from abroad. This is a subject of particular interest to Indiana for the reason that this state Ilea q the center of one of the most important beet sugar producing sections of the country. Xot only hare repeated tests in sugar beet growing demonstrated that Indiana soil la adapted to the 'production of this valuable crop, but the successful operation during the past season of the state's first beet sugar factory has proved it conclusively.

IN AN INDIANA SUGAK BEET FIELD.

were unfamiliar with the handling of this uev crop, the results obtained by the new plant at Decatur show that Indiana is capable olf maintaining a beet sugar factory in every county, throughout a large portion of the state at least, and that the state could easily produce not only all the sugar required for home consumption, but also, if necessary, could grow and manufacture half of all the sugar required by tne United States. Some Agares from the actual operations of the beet sugar itant at Decatur during the past year will give som suggestion of the possibilities of this industry for Indiana. Aside from the investment of $1,000,000 or more, which the plant itself represents, the

factory paid out to the farmers who grew beets about $r50,000. Some $7.v 000 was paid out in wages to factory and field operatives. The railways of the state received! from the transportation of beets, sugar and supplies over $100.000, while considerable sums were distributed fr limestone, cotton bagging and other articles required in the process of manufacture. Thus about three-quarters of a million dollars was distributed through various channels of Indiana industry as a result of the establishment of n single let sucrar

factory within the borders of the state. According to the estimates of the statistical bureaus at Washington the people of Indiana consume over 100.000 tons of Sttgar a year for whjcJi they pay 12JS00,000 et imre. Previous to this year all of this money went OQtSfde the state, most of it to the great trust refineries of the eastern seaboard. Most of it still goes there If. however. Indiana produced from her own soil only enough suirar for the use of her home population at1 this money would go into the various channels of home industry, and it

warrild jmfike a yearly difference of $23. (VY).f7TTTH OES rrrrae imrm"c cniüe täte. That Is on!y one. and thp im porta nr. of the benehVi,.! results that would follow the utilization of a comparatively Munll portion of Indiana's farm lands for the production of the pucrar, which the people of the ptate are consuming in yearly increasing quantities. Of still greater value would be its effect in ridding tremendously to the farm wealth of the state

by increasing the yield of th.r crop grown in rotation with sugar beet. Fxperienee In countries lik France and Germany, where sugar beets have been frown for muny years on a larg

cale, show that from land which la planted to this crop one year in four the yield of wheat, oats and other cereals grown in the intervening years is increased from r0 to So per cent Racords Collected from American farmers in sections where beet culture has been folio red for a number of years show that the yield of other crops grown m rotation with beets has increased an average of 41 per cent. The yield of wheat on these lands advanced from 2ÖVJ bushels per acre to 4IM. Torn went up from 41.6 bushels to r.rj.l and oats from 40.9 to 60.0 bushels The effect of the deep plowing and thorough cultivation required by sugar beets in boosting the yields of the other crops grown in successive years is all the more striking, as the yields obtained by those farmers before' beginning sugar beet cultivation were well above the average. Applying this rate of increase to Indiana farms would mean that the agricultural wealth of the state would be increased $L",Ki0.000 a year by the general adoption of sugar beet growing.

Not only does the establishment of the sugar beet industry add directly to the wealth of the state from the

money it brings in or keeps at home

and indirectly through the increase of!

other farm crops grown in rotation i with beets, but it also adds greatly to the market value of farm lands.

In Michigan, where the sugar beet in-

dnstry has reached such proportions that the state produces ail its own

sugar and ships a considerable amount I to other markets, its effect upon farm values and business prosperity in the , i, , . . -

Rvwwa surrouniung me lactones rs clearly marked. Many of the farms in these districts were heavily mortgaged t0Q years ago. The mortgages have been paid off so rapidly that today al-, most the only farms in the sugar country that are not debt free-are those that have been bought in tho past few years by newcomers who want to share in tue prosperity that accompanies this crop. Bank deposits have gone up. The sellers of agricultural implements, dry goods men and dealers in all other j

lines tell of Improved sales and report that collections of bills are made with UUeh greater promptness wherever the!

sugar industry has been introduced. C. A. Dugan, a banker of Decatur, who has watched the development of

the industry there, keeping careful rec- j ord of business transactions in the city, i has estimated that the value of land in

the city and on the surrounding farms for a distance of several miles has ris

en nearly 2o per cent since the fac tory's establishment. This is not surprising in view of the fact that In every case where the beet BUgar industry has been established in any part of the country a gain of from 30 to 100 per cent has taken place In land values within three or four years. When the beet sugar factory at Paulding, O., not far from DecatBf, was started two years ago the same upward tendency of land prices was observed, and it has been found that the' increase since that time has totaled more than $5,000.000 lnfPanlding county alone.

the adjoining state of Michigan.; whose soil produces beets in no way superior to tTlj$Jot Indiana, now has seventeen beet BUgfWies. Indiana :

the available land were used for the crop only one year in four. While this figure represents I distant possibility, there Is no reason why the state should not have from fifteen to twenty-five such establishments. Taking the low est figure, fifteen factories would mean that when they were well under way the state wonld have a yearly hv
