VIGOROUS PROTEST
BY BEET GROWERS
Farmers of Utah County Com
bine Against Utah Sugar
Company.

Special to The Tribune
SPANISH FORK, March 2.-Just to
show that they mean business. the farm
ers around here are putting up a Fbig
holler" against the offensive contracts
that the Utah Sugar company wishes to
ram down the beet raisers' throats. The
contract has called forth protests from
all over the State, and the farmers are
hoping that, by standing together they
may obllge the company to back down,
Here, as elsewhere, the grievance is
against two clauses, one obliging the
farmers TO Silo one-tenth of their crop
should the company say so, and the
other abolishing the use of the "big
hook" knife,
The company will allow o5 cents a
ton for the trouble aud loss sustained
by the farmers In being obliged to sllo
the crop until Dec. 20, but this is
laughed at by the rasers, who say 1T is
but drop in the bucket against their
real losses.
The knife question, too, is 4 most
important one. as the use of it aids the
farmers materially A deadlock is ex-
pected. and II is hoped that Spanish
Fork. Sprlngville, Ben iamin, Lake Shore
and several more communities from the
ldTD o1 OLdu county Will
stand together and insist on the modi-
fcation of the contracts.
At a meeting held here this after
noon and attended by almost every beet
raiser in the vicinity a committee was
appointed to confer with the sugar com
pany, The committee consists of W. O.
Greer and Bishop Benjamin Argyle of
Spanish Fork and Bishop Charles Money
of Lako Shore, and these gentlemen
