Benefits to the Farmers.

One of the great benefits conferred by
these factories upon the communities
in which they are located is the cir
culation of ready money among the
farmers in payment for their beets.
Payment for the beets is always made
in cash, and as this comes at a time
when the farmers are not prepared to
market their other crops, it is a con-
venience to them and to their creditors.
1t is worthy of note also that while the
most acute period of the recent fnan-
cial stringency came just at the time
when the sugar beets were to be paid
for. all payments were made promptly
and the beet raisers were put 10 no in
convenience by being compelled to wait
for their money.
So far as public announcements have
been made, there will be no addition TO
the number of factories in the field
next year. But unless all signs fail
there will be a large increase in the
acreage of beets. and the present fac
tories viii next year have their ca
pacity tested as never before.

is annually sending out large sums of
money for eggs ana poultry.
Rapid Advance Is Made.
There is a tremendous .educationa
work to be done along this line. The
Agricultural college is doing a valu-
able work; c. S. GOrline, the editor of
the poultry department of the Deseret
Farmer, is doing a. valuable work; the
Utah POultrymen's association is doing
a valuable work; the county assOcia-
tons are doing valuable work, and
many individual poultry fanciers are
doing valuable work. But still there is
much to be done to bring Utah abreast
of eastern states, where the value of
the industry is more fully appreciated
1t is held by local experts that Utah
is much better adapted to the raising
of poultry and the production of eggs
than is California. but this state is still
far behind her sister on the coast.
The problem in Utah is to induce
anu OlleIS VIII raise chickens
to discard their happy-gO-Iucky system
and to apply the same methods and ex-
ercise the same care with reference to
chickens that they do to other live
stock. Another problem is to improve
the breeds of chickens raised. If it is
important to improve the breeds of
sheep, cattle, horses and hogs of the
state, it is none the less important to
improve the breeds of chickens. 1t
should be considered even more impor-
tant. because the statistics of the ma
ton prove that the poultry industry
stands at the top Certainly no other
branch of farming and stock raising
offers such opportunities.
