Agricultural Supt. Austin's Esii-
mate of the Bear River Valley.

LOOK upon this beautiful valley,
with its vast number Of acres OF
rich loamy soil and with the most
perfect irrigation system In the United
States, as a most promising place for
farmers TO be successful IN all agricul-
tural pursuits. | know Of no place west
OF the Missouri river where such fav-
orable conditions exist,
AS Is well known, the Utah Sugar
company purchased this vast irrigation
system together with 10000 acres Of
land, in the spring OF 1901; during that
summer preparations were made to
plant about 1000 acres Of sugar beets,
TO ship to their factories In the south,
the company planting about 500 acres,
and the farmers in the valley about the
same, mostly on virgin soil that had TO
be cleared of sagebrush. This was
great undertaking when one stops to
consider the scarcity of labor In the
valley. However, the crop was all that
could be expected az to tonnage, yield
ing from to IS tons per acre, the
sugar content being very high.
This showing has induced the COM
pany to erect n factory near Garland
with capacity, when finally COM
pleted, Of LOO tons Of bects per day
and TO be fipished in time to handle
the crop Of 1903; when completed it VIII
be, no doubt, the most modern factory
In the United States. a large force OF
men IS already at work on
the foundation Of the NAM
moth building, so the farm
ers need have no anticipation but that
everything viii be in readiness - ham
die the beet crop Of next season.
Now few words as TO the produc-
tlyeness Of the soil. The company
raised this year on It's several farms
sugar beets. wheat, oats and alfalfa.
The yield Of the beets was on an aver
age Of about IL tons per acre; OF wheat
q to 40 bushels per acre; Of oats, 30 to
100 bushels per acre; and Of alfalfa
'tV5 tons per acre 40 fertilizer, Of any
kind being used. Ny opinion is that
when the farmers get to fertilzlng
their land by blowing ~ alfalfa. or
clover or using barn yard manure, It
will be easy to produce 20 tons OF bects
to the acre in this valley. and that Of
an excellent quality as the nature Of
the soil is clay loan with a clay sub
soil, while the water supply Is ample
20 take care OF the crop at all times
during the irrigation season.
II might be well here to mention
how the water is distributed | had

the present year without q hitch and to
the entire satisfaction OF the users; It
Is estimated that no less than $4,000
acres will be irrigated the coming year,
with the same promptness and aecu-
racy that prevailed during the present
season
our land sales during 1902 have been
extremely gratifying, some 65 heads Of
families having awaited themselves OF
the opportunity Of purchasing home
setads consisting Of from 10 TO 40 acres
Of land under our reasonable terms;
and IN many instances the land pur-
chased from US has IN the short space
Of from months to one year increased
in value from 20 to 70 per cent over
the purchase price.
The merging of the Utah Sugar COM
pany with the Bear River Water COM
pany, into one great organization to be
contaminated on the 18th Inst under
the name Of The Utah Sugar company,
with a capitalization OF S600O0OO, at
once adds strength to all interests con-
cerned; ana serves as a guarantee that
all undertakings commenced viii be
rapidly pushed to completion, thus
transforming the Bear River valley
into a garden. as It was intended 1t
should be by a beneHcent providence,
which has placed within the reach OF
man such magnificent valley, with It's
fertile lands and bounteous supply
OF water
In conclusion, | desire TO say that
those who are the fortunate possessors
Of homes and farms in this valley have
unbounded confidence In the future
greatness of this locality, beclusa they
have proven for themselves that wheat,
oats, barley, lucerne hay, sugar beets,
fruits, vegetables, and in short every
thing common to the very best soil and
climatic conditions In the entire west,
can, under this perfect system OF irri-
cation, and upon this choicest Of all
lands, produce more per acre than In
any other locality yet known TO them.

AMALGAMATED'S GREAT CAMPAIGN.

not finish It's campaign until the end
Of the year.
The Amalgamated Sugar company
employs on an average Of l2O men at
each Of its factories, and has monthly
payroll OF about $4,000,
At the three factories they use daily
$50 tons Of coal, SO tons Of lime rock,
and six tons Of coke, besides large
quantity Of sulphur, soda, tallow ana
other articles used for the purifying
and crystalizing Of the sugar
Mr.. Eccles stated that he mad recent
ly returned from Colorado, where he
visited the sugar factories and beet
fields. He says that in Colorado they
have had q phenomenal run this year;
that the beets grown in Colorado are
worth at least 80 cents more per ton
than Utah beets, as they bear more
saccharine matter yet the Titan beet
growers receive just as high price for
their beets as the Colorado farmers.
The Utah factories produce double
the amount of sugar that Is used In
the state, hence are obliged to ship
at least one-half Of their sugar to
eastern markets, and must there COM
pete with eastern sugar, after paying
freight rates. in order to get II into the
market.
The farmers who have taken up the
industry OF raising sugar beets have
learned through experience that they
require intense cultivation. Fan plow-
ing is absolutely necessary for sue
cessful beet raising and the farmer
who gives the closest attention to the
cultivation of his crop Is sure to receive
the best results, The beet industry,
though young in Utah, is one of the
greatest that has ever been undertaken,
and promises to heavily increase,
The Amalgamated company antici-
pates n considerable increase in the
acreage of sugar beets for 1908 and the
general outlook for the future in the SUI
gar beet Industry in Utah is very en-
couraging; 1t is gratifying to note
that the farmers and the company are
united in endeavoring TO make the rails

GREAT OUTLOOK IN BEAR RIVER.

The present year In the Bear River
valley. In Boxeder county. Utah, has
been one of unprecedented activity and
success 1t will be remembered that
the Utah Sugar company purchased the
canal system, together with a large
tract OF fertile land in this valley in the
spring Of 1900 and have since that time
been conducting their operations under
the name OF the Bear River Water
company. Tie intention Of the COM
pany at the time Of the purchase was
TO erect a beet sugar factory, the mag
nitude Of which would surpass any
thing of the kind In the middle west
provided. the soil and climatic condi-
tons should prove favorable to the
production of the raw material-the
sugar beet: and with that end IN view
1.-The farmers Of the valley were asked
TO enter into contracts for the purpose
Of raising a sufficient number OF acres
Of suqar beets to make thorough test
of the resources. for the success OF the
crop. The farmers readily consented to
raise 800 acres at the price Of Si'25 per

result of this test Of 1000 acres Of beeis,

So well have the farmers been salts
fed with the crop the present year, that
they have readily subscribed for from
20O0 TO $500 acres for the coming sea-

delivered at the factory, and $3.50 deliv-
cred at any railroad point in the val

Special Correspondence.

hpNNlul correspondents
Ogden, Utah, Dec. i5e--Hon. David
Eccles President OF the Amalgamated
Sugar company, gave the News the
following interview on the successful
run Of the oompanys factories situated
at Ogden and Logan, Utah. and La
Grande, ore, for the year 1909
The Amalgamated Sugar company
was incorporated July 3, 1909. with a
capitalization of SlOOO,C0Q, OF which
amount S2,55l, 800 worth Of capital stock
was issued. two-thirds Of which is pre-
ferred and one-third common. The new
corporation absorbed the Ogden, Logan
and La Grande (Oregon) sugar factor
les.
The Amalgamated Sugar company's
campaign for the year 1902 has been By
far the most successful in the history
of the beet sugar industry in the north
ern part Of the state Of Utah. II Is es
timated that approximately $500 farm
ers planted sugar beets for the three
factories this year.
For the Ogden factory about 1000
acres Of sugar beets were planted, which
win produce about $500 tons. For the
Logan factory 5000 acres were planted,
which win produce about $1,000 tons,
@,5Oo acres were planted for the lie
Grande factory which will produce
close to 1900 tons, total OF $500
tons.
At the three factories up to Dec, I,
1902, lS2il20O pounds graduated sugar
had been produced and 4. is estimated
that by the close Of the years run g.
100000 pounds more will be made
The company, for the year 1902, has
paid fat rate of $3.50 per ton for beets
at all the factories.
At the La Grande factory this year
80 per cent more beets Were cut than
during 1901, The Logan factory also
had marked increase. and it Is be-
lieved that fully 100000 pounds more
sugar viii be produced this ys~S ,tl.an
