|Te Beet Sugar Record of Utah and Idaho for 1906.

cessfu Of any since the erection Of the
company's first factory IN 1898,
The raising Of sugar beets has been
very profitable to the farmers this year,
the weather conditions having been
most favorable. and In many parts the
farmers had plenty OF water with which
TO irrigate their crops. II Is estimated
that the sugar beets win average the
farmers about $40 TO the acre, which is
almost double what the yield was in
1905. The farmers who had to depend
on the railroad companies to get their
beets to the factory this year, have had
no end of trouble on account OF the
shortage of cars, viii II greatly delayed
the delivery OF the bee IS to the factories
and this, together with the increased
crop, viii put the factories back about
month in completing the seasons
run, 80 that It will be about tho end Of
January, 1907 before all the hoets viii
have been reduced to sugar. In some
parts Of the counties furnishing beets
to the Amalgamated Sugar compnny's
factories. the farmers failed to dig
their crop when notified by the COM
pany. being DESTROYS OF leaving their
beets In the ground a short time longer
in order to increase the weight, but
they left them too long and when the
sudden frost came 1t caught about 200
acres OF beets in the ground, which II
a heavy loss to the beet rasers as well
as TO the factory
When the ogden sugar factory was
built nine years ago, labor was pleni-
full and moderate wages were paid, but
now il Is very different. This year the
Amalgamated Sugar company could not
get white men sufficient to take care or
the fields or 70 work In the factories,
and were compelled to ship Japanese

beets and also had to employ women to
work IN the factories
The raising Of sugar beets Is abou,

as they are certain of a market, ana
the money for tho seasons labors.
As to the future In the sugar beet IN
dustry the outlook was never brighter
Many farmers who have never planted
sugar beets before have expressed a
desire to plant next year The indica-
lions are that there will be more acre

MR.. AUSTINs VIEWS.

Speaking Of the results at Garland.
Hon, George Austin says:
The great Bear River valley has
probably made the best record In
sugar beet culture during the season
OF 1906. Of any locality in the United
states yet recorded. Five thousand
one hundred and seventy acres OF beets
were planted in the spring, and SO acres
were lost, leaving $40 acres har-
vested which yielded $4,000 tons OF
beets' or 10 1-5 tons per acre.
one Of the main causes for this
wonderful crop Is the fact that beet
growers In the Bear River valley pan-
orally speaking make this their first
consideration, both In the selection
Of the land and the handling Of the
crops from the time 1t is planted until
II Is harvested. While we cannot ex-
pect such crops as this every year.
believe we can look for as good or
better crops In this valley, az any
place in the United States, as we have
very uniform soil, clay loan. plenty
OF water for irrigation. and probably
as good class OF farmers as any
known In the west. We are hoping 10
make another great record for tho
year 1907.
Following are some leading farmers
records In the Garland district.

AT BLACKFooT.

A year ago there was a very general
feeling OF disbursement among the
farmers at Blackfcot, owing to the
drou,h and the blight, but in spite OF
that, quite number again planted
beets this spring and the results nave
shown that they were In all ways Jusl-
fed. The average has been very high In
fact over % 600 tons OF beets VIII be
supplied the Blackfoot factory from
the country contiguous to the plant,
Next spring, the farmers generally feel
so encouraged that the plant VIII sure
~ be taxed to It's capacity. The follow
ing record OF farmers near the Black
foot factory speaks for Itself:
O. J. Cobbley, Riverside. 90 acres.
average 10 tons per acre,
&. A. Powell, Backfoot. IS acres
average Is tons per acre.
A, Wilton, Wapelo, 40 acres. aver
age 10 tons per acre.
j. T. Woodland. Blackfoot, 80 acres.
average l6 tons per acre.
William Moore. Basalt, II acres, aver
age - tons per acre.
]. +. Jensen, Basalt. 10 acres, aver
age II tons per acre.
n. Sorensen, GroYoland. 16 acres,
average II tons per acre.
AT NAMPA.
The Nampa factory which has drawn
beets from Nampa, Payette and other
districts has had an excellent result
for the first year. In fact no other fac
tory Of recent years has been supplied
with so many heets the first season. The
farmers have been very successful ana
there is no question that the Nampa
factory Will have all the beets II can
handle next year. The question OF a
plant at Payette is still receiving con-
sideration. Under the contract between
the sugar company and the Payette
committee If the farmers In the latter
district raised 1000 tons of beets
from 5000 acres in 1906, factory was
10 be constructed I'm 1907 The farm
ers fell a little short Of the required
number and under the contract the
same ARRANGEMENT stands good for 1907.
| II the farmers produce 10000 tons OF
| beets from 5000 acres, then the factory
must be built In 1908. 1t Is fore
| gone conclusion that n vastly greater
! amount OF beets than 10000 tons VIII
! be raised next year, so that Payette al
ready feels sure of a factory In 1908

THE IDAHO FACTORIES,
Farmers Break Their Records I'm Acre
age and Tonnage.

A staff correspondent of the Deseret
News,w has lately visited the several
towns in Idaho where sugar factories
are in operation namely, Sugar city,
Idaho Falls, Backfoot, and Nampa,
found that the farmers In every place
were more than satisfied with the re-
suits of the campaign now closing
This is the fourth years experience in
the Snake River valley, and the huge
increase OF the acreage and the tom
mage demonstrates beyond question
hat that section of the country Is
thoroughly adapted to beet culture.
Where the proper preparation has been
made of the soil, and careful attention
given the crop most excellent results
have been obtained. Farmers are
coming 10 realize more and more the
necessity OF properly preparing the soil.
and seeing that It is sufficiently fertil-
lied by using barnyard manure, al
falfa, and clover as fertilizers. All
are now aware that this is one of the
important features of farming. In
fact. all agree that the soil viii not
do its part without proper nourish-
ment. The figures given below show
that the raising of sugar bects has
been very profitable to the grower
throughout the state OF idaho. The
increase in the beet crop over 1905 has
been very marked and already the
applications &C. plant are so heavy that
Il is certain the year 1907 win show a
still heavier increase. The following
record OF a number Of farmers in the
Snake River valley will be Of special
Interest,"

OF beets at the mill to date has been
approximately 700 tons per day, which
Is gratifying 10 say the least. when
consideration Is taken OF the fact that
IL Is only a 800 ton capacity plant.
Even with a cutting capacity so large,

Persons Placed IN Nomination for
Village Officers.

At the republican caucus held Tuesday
evening in the council rooms, the follow
ing excellent ticket was placed in nom-
nation: President, NJ. L. Decker; treas
urer, Pearl Pritchard; trustees, |. A.
Whitman, rerominated, Edgar Adriance
and W. j. Johnson; assessor, j. G. War
ner. b. f. Warner, Wm Thompson and
ID. NJ. Allen were chosen village commit
tee. +. q. Thayer, the retiring trustee,
has done conscientious work during the
past year. There was manifest strong
desire on the part of those present that
he be chosen, and a unanimous vote
would have been his, but be would not
have it that way. In spite of his declin-
ing the honor, he received large vote,
and if be had not insisted that he could
not accept he would have been nominat-
ed. Mr.. Whitman has proved himself
worthy of the trust reposed in him, and
his experience in the past will make him
a very valuable member TO the village
the coming year. Messrs. Pritchard,
Adriance and Johnson are good men for
the positions for which they were nomi-
mated. OF j. G. Warner nothing better
can be said than to relate an incident
that occurred a short time ago. One of
our bank officials was demonstrating
with him for his seeming willingness to
assist ip a financial way anyone who was
worthy, no matter how poor. Jerome
said, "Oh, well, have never lost much
by these acts of mine, and as long as |
can help some worthy person | think
shall" Our president, NJ. L. Decker,
by his attention to the duties of his of
flee and his business methods during the
past year has earned for himself the
support at the polls of every public spir-
tied citizen, and we predict for him
a large majority.
At the union caucus held Monday even
