Question.—Can sugar beets bo grow
successfully tu Georgia, and can the
sugar from thorn to mnnpfacturcd in a
small way by the farmers.
Answer.—According to tho depart
ment of agriculture, at Washington,
sugar beets ('an not to grown profitably
in the southern stilus. I quote you
what that department buys on the sub
fret:
“Exporirnoo has shown that the sugar
beet reaches its highest development in
north temperato latitudes. Bo far ai
the production of beets with high ton
nage is concerned, it is found that this
can be accomplished far to the south,
but beets grown in such localities are,
upon the whole, less rioh in sugar and
less suitable for tho manufacture of
sugar than those grown farther north.
It must to remembered, however, that
the expressions north and south do not
refer to any absoluto parallels of lati
tude, but rather to isothermal linos,
which in many cases run obliquely to
the parallels of latitude, aucl in some
cosos across them almost at right angles.
As a result of many years of careful ex
perimentation, it may bo said that aa
far as temperature alone is concerned
tho sugar boot attains its greatest per
fection in a zone of varying width,
through tho center of which passes tho
isothermal lino of 70 degrees Fohroln-
belt for tho months of Juno, July and
August."
If the agricultural department at
Washington is coi+oct In the above
statement, and thoy doubtless are, tho
cotton states are debarred from growing
tho sugar toet profitably, os the south
ern toundary of tho bolt spoken of as
suitable to their cultivation, passes
through tho central part cast .and wont
of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and Nobraska, and thonco dips al
most duo south to the boundary of Mex
ico. Tho same authority, howover, says:
“There are doubtless many localities
lying outside of this belt, both
north and south, in which tho sugar
toot will to found to thrivo;
this will bo due to some
exceptional qualities of the climate
soil, and not to any favorablo influ
ence of a higher or lowor temperature."
My opinion is that the sugar beet
would fiud suitable soil, temperature
and moisture in tho valleys of our north
ern counties and on the plateaus of our
mountain ranges, but not elsowhore in
the state. Tho cost of growing sngar
beets is variously estimated at from
|90.00 to $00.00 per acre, and the value of
the crop at from $40.00 to $70.00 per
acre, according to yield and percentage
of sacchariue matter in the beets.
The latter part of your question is
fully answered by the Washington de
partment as follows:
"On account of th« elaborateness of
the process and the costly nature of the
machinery which is necessary to pro
dues beet sugar, even in a small way,
U is not believed that it oould be profit
ably made In the way indicated. The
department has no knowledge of any
suoos—ful beet sugar faotory of this
kind. There is no country producing
of beet eugarin
costing only a
lollars has any appre
ciable Influence on the output of sugar.
