Sugar beet as a cotton substitute in Louisiana
The article notes falling cotton prices and seeks profitable alternatives for planters in Louisiana. Dr A R Booth promotes the sugar beet as a viable crop, citing studies and even securing seed packages from the Washington Agricultural Chemist for trials.
Ambitious seed trials urged for Louisiana growers
The writer urges progressive farmers to test new seed varieties by actual cultivation to gauge if they can be successfully grown. If growth proves strong, it could signal transformative yields for Louisianians. The hope is farmers engage, following Dr Booth’s example, and report a notable change in Fall 08 for agricultural lists.
