SUGAR GROWINGS SEEN AS POSSIBLE Unused Tobacco Fields Might Be Cultivated Hartford, July 30 (P—Production of sugar iu extensive Connecticut acrcage withdrawn from cultivation has been found to be practicable, it was brought out in a conterence of United States Sccre- tary of Agrieulture Willlam Jar- dine, State Commissioner of Agri- cultur¢ Philo T. Platt and Kurt Grunwald, a consulting agricuitural engineer of Denver, Colo., at the capitol. Soil and laboratory tests hs been so satisfactory that Mr. Grun- wald, a representative of the Great Eastern Sugar Co., Inc., of Medford, . L, guaranteed the erection of a $1,500,000 sugar factory Connecticut if Connecticut farmer will agree to furnish annually the crop from 5,000 acres planted to sugar beets. It was disclosed that ten experi- mental plots of sugar beets, in va- tobacco rious stages, have been under culti- | vation in different parts of Connec- ticut for several weeks under the sponsorship of the state department of agriculture and the observation of Mr. Grunwald. Optimistic reports of the progress of such of these crops as he has had late information about made to Secretary Jardine and Commissioner Platt and it was Sec- retary Jardine who later “let the cat out of the bag” in conversation with newspapermen, giving out the fact that the experiments have been in progress. Commissioner Platt ex- plained that nothing had been an- nounced about these tests previous- ly because of Mr. Grunwald's desire to make sure that there were good prospects of success before talking. Commissioner Platt announced that the sugar beet seed had been | planted in plots by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment stations at New Haven and Storrs and on the plantations of the following named farmers: B. R. Rich, C. H. Child and Ewart G. Tealey of Woodstock. Frederick G. Waterbury and A. ‘W. Reynolds of Newtown. Albert Dennler o East Hampton. W. H. Carrier of Glastonbury. H. L. Hamilton of Ellington. The state agricultural experiment station plots are under the super- vision of Professor W. L. Slate. Sugar beets have been raised on Mr. Rich's placs In Woodstock which were reported already to be 3% inches in diameter, which was said to be considerably in advance of the average size at the end of July. Secretary Jardine expects to visit some of the experimental plots next week with Commissioner Platt and Mr. Grunwald. The latter came to Hartford today with Secretary Jardine and they motored together in the afternoon to Amhert college, Amherst, Mass,, where the secre- tary was to deliver an address to- night. They will study agricultural conditions throughout New England, returning to Connecticut by Monday at the latest, and Secreta Jardine will spend Monday night as the guest of Commissioner and Mrs. Platt at their home in Newtown. He will speak Wednesday at the Con- necticut Agricultural college. Mr. Grunwald emphasized to newspapermen that he was not con- nected with the United States de- partment of agriculture, but was traveling simply as a friend of Scc- retary Jardine. At noon, he and the secretary were the guests of Commissioner Platt at a luncheon at the Hartford club, which was al- #o attended by State Highway Com- missloner MacDonald, Deputy Com- missioner of Agriculture Healey, Secretary of State Pallott, Tax in central | were | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1926. 150mm‘!sioner Blodgett, Comptroller Salmon, Superintendent Titcomb of Fisherles and Game and Representa- tive Charles E.
