that beets could be raised there; now
they have several factories built there,
also in Cache valley; the Ogden planl
got beets from there. now they have q
factory at Logan, and the prospect oil
another In that valley In Weber cOui.
ty some farmers haul their beets from
five TO ten miles their cry Is for a bet
ter chance to deliver them and then
they will double their acreage
Some years back farmers would move
their stack yards and their corrals be-.
cause the manure was so thick, but that
time is past for many would now gladly
clean their yards to get the manure. In
the east they haul manure by boats for
long distance to the farmers; here
farmers haul with wagons five or six
miles ana find It pays, when they har-
vest their crops.
Some farmers are not able TO thin
and work their beets in spring for lack
OF help, and 10 get the aid they need IL
requires money; where farmers have
needed money for this help, the com
pany has advanced 10 them I'm
some instances so the beets can be put
IN a proper shape at the proper time:
The farmer thus saves his crop and the
company gets more beets. Some farni-
ors as yet have not commenced 10 raise
beets but these have been bnehted b.
the building Of the sugar factories.
their boys are employed there, and their
hay is worth more, also grain and other
products, while the working man has
work at a good cash price: all are busy
that have a will I'm that direction.
We have a number OF farmers VINO
are preparing their land and looking to
increase. they have got down TO GOOD
cultivation Of the soil. and hnd II PAYS
them, We are now hauling beets into
the sheds at the factory; those that
came IN so fast could not be worked M
as they were dellyered-we received a,
high as 80 cars In one day and about
800 wagonloads besides. on Dec. g. 0
and 7 we had daily about 55 teams
hauling in beets, most Of them had two
men with each this viii last for sin

enlargement OF those two plants In the
year following.
The two Idaho companies, which VIII

have been so constructed as to allow
the capacity OF each to be doubled to
1900 tons per day with only a small
outlay The buildings We're originally
put up with this object in view, and
every arrangement was made so that
when the supply of beets justified It,
the extra machinery could be put In for
only a small proportionate cost and in
very short period Of time,
With the buildings and engagements

With our factories turning out 100 mill

OF the immediate future is not how to
obtain more sugar factories, but how to

JAPS IN THE
BEET FIELDS.
They Will Handle 8, 500 Acres
During 1905.

| = ~
One OF the strongest factors In the
development Of the beet sugar Industry
In Idaho and the Bear River valley,
where Il is impossible for the sugar
companies and the farmers to obta,n
the help they need, has been the Japa-
nese The japanese American Indus
trial Corporation Of San Francisco has
bought a big farm near Garland and
VIII put It into beets on It's own account
In 1905. The company will also furnish
more men than ever before to handle
the crop for the farmer and the sugar
companies Mr.. r, Terra, the companys
representative, spoke as follows to the
Sugar City Times:
I'VE only worked a little over 5000
acres this year, for the three factories
Garland, Idaho Falls and Sugar City
but next year, Judging by the hearty
response we are meeting from the farm
ers In signing up the new con-
tracts, we expect to double this
amount. We will have contracts next
year for $500 acres I'm Fremont county,
$500 IN Bingham and 1000 at Garland.
We will bring in about 500 Of our boys
to handle this work, which means plen-
~ Of money In circulation here next
season. II our boys get one dollar they
spend 50 cents Of Il among the mer-
chants. They are free hearted with
their money, and do not hoard It up, as
many suppose, They eat well, dress
well, and live well, / can tell you, and
try 10 behave themselves. They work
harder and longer hours than the ordIn-
airy white laborer, and take better care
Of their health. As result Of working
more hours IN a day, they make better
wages than the white man, for they
work by the hour, and work as long as
they can see, and sometimes longer.
How many Japs will you bring to
Sugar City next spring."
well, this will be the headquarters
for all our boys from now on. They
will all come here. and we will distrl-
butte them from this place. There Will
be plenty Of money spent here next
year, can tell you. We expect to raise
on all lands we have contracts for, at
least an average Of l2 tons Of beets per
acre. This will be two or three tons
per acre better than this year. OF
course that Is providing we don't have
such a killing frost as we had this year.
as | understand the June frost was the
worst ever known. We have been get
ting contracts signed up for next year,
and as a result will work large beet
farms In Parker, Egin, Plano, Hlbbard,
Burton, Independence, Texas, Leorin,
Lyman Archer. Salem, Sugar, Teton.
Rexburg, MILFORD and Twin Groves. We
expect before we get through TO meet

The unusual condition In the Mississippi
valley which caused nearly a complete
failure Of the potato crop gave an UNI
limited market for the potatoes grown
IN this section OF the country and at
very high prices, as a result the farm
ors naturally increased their potato
acreage at the expense OF our beet acre
age. This year, potatoes do not bring
to exceed 30 10 30 cents per hundred,
and even at that price the market Is
very limited. This condition has
brought about a decided reaction IN
favor OF the sugar beet and today the

as we have some large fields that we're
prepared In this way that have yielded
us from 10 10 20 tons to the acre.
lnasmuch as the farmers OF the
Snake River valley Rave thousands OF
acres OF alfalfa and thousands OF tons
OF hay for which there Is no market
at the present time, there is no ques-
ton that In the coming season great
deal Of this land will be prepared for
beets, and IN this way Il WIN not only
be profitable 10 them In turning a por-
ton Of such lands TO the raising OF the
beet root but Il will also help to pro-
vide n market for their hay. as more
cattle VIII be fed on beet pulp thus II
VIII require more hay TO feed the cat-
tie and sheep, and will do great deal
OF good in more ways than one, con-
slider that the outlook for the growing
or sugar beets IN the Snaks River VAL
ley Is certainly very bright indeed"

Of the Amalgamated Sugar com-
pany, spoke as follows to a Des'
eret News representative:
The first year the factory at Ogden
was run It worked up about 1900 tons
Of sugar beets; It has increased IN tom
mage each year since, and this season II
has about 1000 tons Of beets, the larg-
est product yet, due TO the farmers
having a little better supply Of water
tnan IN some other seasons. There were
$50 farmers that made contracts this
season TO plant .beets having an ayei-
age Of four and five acres each some
only planted two acres and some over 20
acres, but this was the average. These
beets cost the company $3.50 per ton, be-
sides other expenses In drilling, field
work, Weighing, etc, which amounted
TO over S25QOOO for bcets alone; this goes
10 the farmers between Pennington on
the south and Brigham and Honeyyille
on the north, with a few beets from
Morgan. In this scope OF country theiy
are II canneries, and some OF the lard
adapted 20 raise tomatoes better than
beets. but some land that used to be
planted with tomatoes Is now entirely
planted with beets. The beets are hardy
and stand the late and early frosts,
and some farmers prefer sure SO tnah
a risky 500, although many farmers
get over 500 per acre from their beet
crop.
The average yield per acre this year
Is nearly 10 tons, which would be near
ly $40 per acre.
There are some settlements that aver
aged 20 tons per acre. OF those that
contracted, some failed to plant, some
got no stand, their land being not In Il
proper condition. sometimes the heavy
rains pack the ground so the beets cam
not get through; the heavy hail kills
some Of the beets and some fail TO thin
and work their boot7. but these occur
ances are but very few, though they re-
duce the average yield,
The Amalgamated company sent me
to Snake river some time back with
drills and seed and we planted beets nc

have raised beets for the company's two

Speaking OF the Bear River valley,

TEN IN Boxelder county, he says:
II has been demonstrated beyond a
doubt that this Is the most fertile and
best adapted valley for beet culture in
the arid regions, as the soil is OF a
cay-loam and undertake with clay, the
soil varying In depth from one to five
feet.
The building Of the great beet sugar
factory by the Utah Sugar company at
Garland has In two years doubled the
price OF lands within radius Of five
miles from the factory ana the valley
is filling up very rapidly with farmers
from different parts Of the state and
also from eastern states, and In few

This In the face Of very heavy In
creased consumption, Is causing a ten
dency to high prices, but the history OF
high sugar prices IN the past has al
ways been that they have caused an
impetus to the sugar Industry which
has in turn brought about excessive
crops again, and consequent low prices
followed. That this win again be the
rule in the near future, there can be
little doubt.
