Lest people should tank that every
thing is necessarily sweet IN the vicnit,
Of sugar factory, we take few
sentences from Los Angeles dispatch
OF Monday:
When fall comes and brings with it
The time for renewing the annual con-
tracts with the sugar company, the
farmers will have large amount Of
snenev distributed among them and Il
creamery will be in operation. The
farmers will then demand considerable
advance in the price of beets, and, fail
ing TO secure the price demanded, they
will SOW large bodies OF moist land, on
which beets arc now grown, to alfal in,
and use their funds to purchase cattle.
The fact tina. the land company is not
tied down to the sugar company, and
that the farmers are AL free to alliance
with the company at the end of each
season, makesit possible for the faameIs
10 act for their own welfare, while the
land company, having all the pulp from
sho factory, is offering the farmers this
excellent cattle food for almost Moth
Ing
Heretofore, as has been pointed
out, the farmers felt obliged to carry on
beet growing, but the tables seem to
have been turned, and If, as they dcclaic
they will, the farmers should carry out
their idea of turning the Chino ranch
Ento great alfalfa field in case of the
refusal OF better prices for beets next
year, the factoay will come pretty near
being at the mercy and be obliged to
yield up to them something like fair
portion of the immense profits which
are now going into the treasury
1t is well enough for the farmers to
have other resources than beet growing,
and they are wise to arrange them for
themselves, but we do not see any oc-
casion for the belligerent attitude Of the
writer of the above dispatch. There is
always, unfortunately, some distrust
and suspicion OF unfairness among beet
growers as to their share OF the factories,
profits, and there probably always will
pe, but, unless we are very much mis-
taken, the beet growers have made more
money in the last few years than the
have, and there is n. vastly
better outlook for Increasing the output
Of sugar than OF dairy products. And,
then, il the farmers stop growing beets
for the factory, where are they going to
get the pulp 10 fight the factory with !
II the pro position were advanced for a
creamery % use pulp and diversity the !
prodHction of the region, it would he
good one to discuss, but to rest the whole |
affair on the falling out between the |
farmers and the factory seem to indicate |
some animus on the part OF the dispatch |
writer. But these things will arise |
Wait until Mr.. spieckels and the
Salvation Army colony get at it. Then
there shall be no more war.-Pacifc
