Big Jump Seen in U.S. Sugar Beet Acreage
The United States and California face a marked rise in sugar beet acreage, with U.S. officials predicting national planted area to climb from about 1 25 million acres in 1967 to near 1.34 million in 1968. California could mirror early 1960s totals, aided by better prices, mechanization, harvest timing, weed control, and cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

In San Diego County plastics use spans nearly 4,500 acres of vegetables and flowers under plastic row covers and greenhouses.
