Excerpt from Sugar Beets in the San Joaquin Valley While these conditions have generally been held as the most ideal, yet the success in America under conditions which 'vary' considerably from those above indicated, especially as to rainfall, seem to show that they must not be regarded as being absolute, and that the beet has a somewhat wider range of adaptability to climatic conditions than has been claimed by European authorities, and that, within certain limits, our ideas should be formed from the conditions under which the industry has met with success in this country. Certain it is that drought must be avoided, and where frequent summer rains do not occur, nor heavy fogs and dews, the soil must be Of such a nature as to retain free moisture in liberal quantity, or, the moisture must be supplied by irrigation, both of which conditions hold in certain parts of the Pacific Coast, and the latter in Colorado, Utah, and California. Abundance Of sunshine is also essential to the highest development Of sugar in the beet. Other things being equal, it may be said that the richness of the beet will be proportional to the amount - not intensity of the sunshine. In the introduction Of any new crop it is always essential to examine the temperature conditions that we may know how closely they conform to those which Obtain in those regions where the industry is already on a firm footing. Under other conditions the industry must always be something Of an experiment. It goes without saying that the closer the conditions Of climate and soil approximate those under which the industry is already being conducted with marked success the greater will be the chance of ultimate success in the new regions.
