Sugar Beet Crop
The dotal production of sugar
beets in Ontaria this year is now
estimated at 276,400 tons from
2S,200 acres, as compared with
240,000 tons harvetsted from 30,300
acres in 1937. The commercial
sugar beet crop grown in the ex-
treme south - western enmities
accounted for 25,600 acres this
season with the yield placed at
9.90 tons per acre for a total pro-
duction of 253,400 tons, Both the
Chatham and Wallaceburg factories
commenced to receive oeats on
September 23rd, and slicing opera-
tions began. an October 511i. Yields
are greatest in Kent county with at
least 101 tons per acre, but the
outlying districts, particularly
Essex county', have an average
yield of nearly 2 tons per acre less.
The sugar content of beets• is
considerably above that of most
seasons, and indications are that it
will average between, 161/2% and
17%. The highest sugar content
is in areas more remote from the
factories where the tonnage per
acre is lighter. Sugar beets from
Essex, J.:embton., and Mlddleser
counties averaged about 18%
sugar, while those in most of Kent
county have approximately 16%.
The gross return on a 10 -ton crop
of beets with 17% sugar content
will amount to $62.50 per acre
for tonnage and $7.50 per acre for
sugar content bonus, or a total of
$70.00 per acre for factory delivery.
Red Clover Seed
Threshing of red clover seed Is
,progressing satisfactorily in south
western Ontario. The commercial
production of double cut red clover
is estimated at 4,250,000 pounds
