majority OF the beet growers have
learned the necessity of Cultivating
their land we'll ferilizirg and planting
their beet seed early, of thinning the
beets early, and of Keeping the weeds
cleaned out, giving the sugar beets
every chance to grow and mature.
AS to the future OF the sugar beet
industry I'm this section, il looks en-
couraging. The beet raising Is perhaps
the most profitable of crops for the
farmers. 1t takes n great amount OF
labor To raise sugar beets; but when
the farmers receive their checks from
the sugar company for their products
they feel well paid, and though the
labor is hard, they feel ready to try
again next year,
When the Ogden sugar factory was
first built, I'm 1898, it took considerable
labor and pleading with the farmers
from Pennington on the south to Pres
ton on the north, 10 get contracts
signed for 1000 acres OF sugar beets
while In 1905 the farmers residing IN
this same district have raised beets
sufficient TO supply four sugar fac
tories, viz, the Ogden, Garland, Lo-
gan ana Lewiston factories, The Lewis
ton factory was built this year, The
farmers between Pennington and
HoneyVille contracted for nearly g.
900 acres Of sugar beets this year,
which Is about six times the acreage
contracted Cor IN 1898, thus showing
the eagerness with which the farmers
have taken up the sugar beet raising
industry In these few years. In this
same section of country there are
many agricultursts who are raising
vegetables, grains. fruits, tomatoes and
other crops Unfortunately this year
the tomato crop was almost a failure
IN Weber county.
The ogden Sugar company paid this
season nearly 1925, 900 for sugar beets,
paying a fiat rate Of 81 50 per ton. The
season has been very favorable for the
harvesting of the crop. which Is all
harvested, and by Christmas the en-
tire output OF the ogden factory will
be ready TO place on the market and
thus our money is kept at home for this
product.
Since the commencement Of sugar
and canning factories, creamerles and
other home industries, the wages of the
laboring men have been greatly In
creased, and there is plenty OF employ
ment for those who are willing to work.

GARLAND AND LEHI RECORD
By George Austin Agricultural Superintendent. of the Utah
Sugar Company

|HE Bear River valley is prob
ably the best locality FOR sugar
beet culture Of any point In
the United States. In the spring
OF 1903, the Utah Sugar company COM
menced to build the great factory that
has done SO much for that beautiful
valley. That season, 10000 tons Of
beets were worked through the mill and
converted into fine graduated sugar.
In the season Of 1904, 10000 tons Of
beets were raised and handled
through this factory and by the time
this appears in print the crop for the
year l9Oj-amounting to $4,000 tons Of
beets, will nave been made into
granulated sugar Had II not been for
the rayages of the white fly or leaf
hopper from $1,000 to $1,000 tons Of
beets would have been raised. How
ever, | believe that next year will
again show an increase In the tonnage
Of beets raised in this valley. ms the
farmers are a very intelligent class Of
people shd are not disheartened or dis
couraged by reason OF some failures,
as al business has It's draw q.
backs, some years good, others poor
This is so TO some extent with beet
culture, as eight years ago, this same
pest made It's appearance in Utah and
reduced the tonnage OF heets NJ least 20
per cent The following year (seven
years ago. the heaviest crop at reete
was raised that II has ever been our
good fortune 10 handle In the 10 years
thdt We have been I'M business. one Of
the reasons for this can be- accounted
Tor, that where land under adverse con-
dilions has raised only three or four
tons per acre. II ~ pretty much IN the
same condition as though 90 had been
Fummer-falloNed, and under favorable
conditions the following season should
respond With a very heavy crop.
A great deal of experimental work
has been done in It1h this year by the
government and the Agricultural coll
Iege OF Logan, 10 ascertain some simple
and cheap method that the farmers
could apply In case OF repetition og
this trouble,and 1t IL believed success
