PROWERS COUNTY LEADS THE FIELD. ■ J Our Beets have the Highest Sugar Percentage and Coefficient of Purity of Any in the United States It will interest the farmers to learn that Prowers county leads th® procession in the matter of raising sugar beets that will command the highest prices at the factory. Agriculturist Timothy received reports from the latest tests of car lots on Tuesday that made him feel very proud of the section he has in charge. The chemist’s reports show * percettage of sugar ranging from 18 to 21.7 per cent, and a coefficient of purity ranging from 85 to the extraordinary figure of 92. 2 per cent. Mr. Timothy says he has no hesitation in saying’Wat these figures wil not be equaled elsewhere in the United States, The following are a few of the highest tests: PER CENT SUGAR COE FFICIENT OF PTRIT Charley Kornman 21.7 , 89.6, W. H. Wadhams 21.4 91.8 B. S. Nyman 10.2 92,2 J. S. Wright 20.5 89.6 Frank McKinley 18.0 88.0 The beets tested were from outside rows, which are supposed to be inferior to the rest of the field. They averaged about a pound and a half in weight. Mr. Wadham’s yield was twenty-one tons to the acre which at $6.30 a ton—the price they commanded—brought the neat sum of $132 an acre, of which SIOO counted as profit. Prowers county raises the best sugar beets and has sufficient available land to support two or three factories. There is little doubt that the field here will be occupied by a first-class factory within a few years. From Lamar, Colorado paper.
