A Sugar Beet farm

August 13, 1836

Includes an item from the Philadelphia Times, telling of a Mr. Wm. Andenreid, from Schuykill county, who has planted an acre of Sugar Beets, and which are growing handsomely.   Urges others to engage in same farming.  (The Childs were to grow sugar beets, in  Northampton, as an alternative to slave-produced sugar cane.)
