DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, MAY 19

A WORD TO FARMERS.

Sir,—During the past few months the writer has mate a especial stuly of the sugar beet industry whicu is agitating the minds of the farmers thronghout the ‘ United States, andthinks thatit wyuld vot be amiss to praw Prioce Edwarl Is anil farmers’ attention to this impoctant brauch of agriculture.

It ie generally conceded ti a the manu- facture of beet sugar will in the near future become one vf the greatest indus- iries in British North America; bic sure the climate is peculiarly adaptei ror grow ing vearly all varieties of vegetables. The question naturally arises, “Can the sugar beet be grown to advantage on P. E. I.” To this I answer ves; and turther nore say that the remarkable opportunities for the extension of profitable agricultural indus- tries through the medium of the eugar beet should not be suffered to pass unim- proved, and the farmers of our Island province should not rest satisfied until they see their fields producing the sugar which they consume.

Ten years ago who would venture to say that the cheese-making and fruit-growing industries would assum+ such magnitude as they co to-day, and is it not gratifying to think that ten years hence the manu-

facture of beet sugar wiil surpa+s either of these industrie:

Experience bab Sasi that the sugar beet reaches its highest developemen: in north temperate latitudes. So far as the productien of beets with high tonnage is

concerned, it is found that this can be accomplished far to the routh; but b-ets grown in such

localities are generaily less rich in sugar, and therefore less suitable for the

manufacture of sugarthan those grown farther north. It is well to remember here that the terms north and south must not be interpreted as absolute parallels of lati- tude, but rather as isothermal lines which

in many cases run Obliquely to the paral- lels of latitude, and in some cases cross them almost at right angles. As far as temperature alone is concerned, it is found that the sugar beet attains its highest

degree of efficiency in a zone through tke centre of which passes the iscthermal line of 70° F. for the months of June, July and August. There is no doubt iu my

mind that P. &. Island lies in this zone, and consequently thiok that the sugar beet can be profitably grown in this Jocal- ity. A mean temperature of 70° F. in the summer, however, must not be regard- ed as the only desirable element of tem-, perature which is to be taken into consid- eration. In consequence of the early winter and late epring, eastern Canada will, no doubt, be ata disadvantage, but even conceding this, there are many favorable points which couaterbalance thie. :

The engar beet does not require a par- ticular kind of soil for its proper } rodu-- tion. Experience has snuwn ciavey, sandy, !oamy, or alluvial soils are sufti- cient for practical purposes. Perhaps the best soi] may be described as a sandy loam a soil containing a happy equilibr.um between organic matters, clay, and sand.

It may be said that, generally any soil which will produce a» good crop of Iudian corn, wheat or potatoes will, under proper caltivauon, produce

a good crop of sugar beets. As the “ricl - ness” of the soil for the tugar beet as for other vegetables must be arcertained thongh experience it would be wel! for the farmers to doa little experimental work in this direction. A few seeds would not cost much and there is always a “‘vacant corner” that would be quite suitable for such. Perbaps the first attempt may be discouraging, but try again. Has not fail- ure been the means of the greatest euccess- es in life? Have not yeas of fa lure led men on to complete the greatest inveu- tions?

Just as coon as sugar beet growing on Prince Edward IsJand becomes an estab- lisbed fact, the Government, no doubt, will do its share towerds bui'ding a factory which will giveemployment to hundreds of young men and women and bring to the farmers thousands of dollars annually. Is this not worth more than a passing thought, farmers?
