SUGAR BEET CONTEST ARRANGED AMONG JR 0 U A M HAVE LONG ISLAND GROWERS TO PROVE VALUE, bk; r^l SCHEDULED
JOHN BURROUGHS BURIEp
To encoumge augar beet prwiuc- tlon on LonK leilami, Ralph I'eterH Pffeflideiit of the Ijong Inland Ruilruad Company announced that nineteen ciwh prir.ea will /oc awarded by the munaxenient in h competiiiun lo be held this Jiuinuier aniong Long Is land HUgar beet Krowem, who'have becin iiicreuHlng in number every year since 1912, wh,en HaJ. IJ. Ktil- lerton. Agricultural Director of the -¦ railroad ll."»t. demoniitrated that nii- gar beets could be grown Buccessfiilly on Long Island.
'"Sugar beets are valuable." says Mr. Kullerlon. '¦firBt, as a source of refined sugar for thc table, and nee. ond. UB a fnr Iwller foed for caltle, liogH und poiiliry. tiiuii mangels. Kugar becHs huve been fed to live- HtorU with gre;il sucoessi on the Long 'Island Uailroad Denionstratioii Fiiriii for nearly tan yeurs. aud the same good rcjiulls have been obtained by many other Long Island growers since its introduction in 1912. While the sugar beet does not make as big n show (i-.j size) as the mangel, be- . cause it is e.vti"eniely solid and close textured, nevertheless a much great¬ er tonnage an acre is secured.
"Thc- price received for sugar boetH by (riowers in l!i20—for beets used aa livestock feed—ranged frotn $10 to 118 per ton at the farm. The production an acre on Long Is¬ land runs from 15 to as high as 4 2 tons an acre, the wide variation be¬ ing due nraiffly to differenl methods of planting and handling.
"Three varieties ot sugar beets Mr. Fullerton stales, '"have grown with marked success on Long island, niiHioly:
"Vilmorin—grown almost cxclu- Blvtily in I<"rance, and proving, on Long Island, to be the biggest pro¬ ducer of boili sugar and tonnage.
"Wohanka—grown iiumtly in what was formerly Die Austrian Kmpire.
•¦Klelnwanzlehen—a Saxon beet grown in difrerent parts of Europe and the United Stales.
"Dy proving conclusively that su¬ gar beets are a crop of great value for I.on^' l.sliinil, Mr. I'oters lia.i au¬ thorized an extension of the work of tlie railroad's agricultural depart¬ ment in this direction, which, during 1921, will be^arriod on with the hearty co-operflnon of the New York Stale Institute of Applied Agricul¬ ture at Karinin.cr'inle, ami tho Anii- cultural Societies of Suffolk and Queon.«-Nassau, and with the sup¬ port of tlie managers of the Long Island Farm nureaus."
Tlie following details regarding Long Island Railroad's 1021 sugar beet competition, were made public by Mr. Fullerton:
There will he nine cash prizes awarded to growers located ea.st of the Suffolk County line, as follows: Class A—Best exhibit at the Rlv¬ erhead Fair in Septtniber, 1921. First prize $15; second prize $10; third prize $5. i

MOIST! RE ABSORPTION OF WHEAT |
A recent report made by the Port- la nd, Oreg.. office of the Orain Division of the Hnreaii of .Markets, United Slates department of AKricnltuie. indicates fhat some of the statements published with regard to the amount of moisture absorbed by .sacked grain during the "rainy season" in the Pacific northwest are extravagant.
The reiioit in auestJon was based on 2.034 cars of wheat receipts s,-impled during recent years. The wheat of the Paeino northwest region is very dry at threshing time, and from then on unMl about March gradually absorlis mois¬ ture. Retween Mareh and Aiugust some of this moisture is given off. Tho av¬ erage moisture content of wheat for the three years during whleh studies ¦were made was 9.1 per cent In August, 11.3 Jier cent In March, and 1(|.< per eent in July. The data for eadh aep- arate year and section show the same relative changes.
