Factory Campaign Will End
 Thursday Morning OUTPUT 5,OOO,OOO POUNDS
Over Half a Million Dollars Disbursed by the Factory Management This Year Campaign a Fine Success Water Supply Ample.

The sugar beet crop of 1909 is now all in. and the last beet has been sliced by the Glendale factory It will take a few hours run vet to work up the pulp in process. but it is expected the factory will close down the sea sons campaign on Thursday morning with 5,0O0,00O pounds of sugar to it's credit, a large part of which is now in the warehouse.
 General Manager Davie said last night that the suEarmaking campaign had been an entirely successful one. He has made no money this year, but for that matter he did not expect to. He has. however, demonstrated a whole lot of things that will mean money to him and to the whole valley in the years to come. The factory has work ed like a charm ever since it started. the machinery has given excellent sat isfaction and the quality Of the sugar made is as good as anybody's The water supply has exceeded all expec- tations and has been more than ample. The only interruption the factory has had during the whole campaign was a slight break for a part of a day III AlAf lfNltsAlllAsAA AlIlllFllN bl lllt water supplying department.
 Respecting the sugar beets. those that had plenty of water returned as fine a tonnage. said Mr. Davic, as any beets he ever say. There was a con- siderable acreage that was short of water. and on this the tonnage was much smaller, but that is an incident it is believed which will not be re- peated except in the event of some in- reference at present inconccivable.
 The sugar content Tn the bects that were planted early, like the tonnage. was decidedly flattering. The beets planted late got started on a second growth. and the sugar content was therefore smaller. Strange as it may seem to the layman, the beets planted latest do the most growing at a time when they are not wanted to grow. while those planted early. mature. stay in the ground and hold their sugar without making the second growth.
 During the year the management of the factory has turned loose in the val ley approximately half a million dol lars. most of it since warm weather began. or at a season of the year when the valley has formerly been the short est of real money. Money values are here always, but the circulating me dium in former years has hidden out in the summer time rather it has been dragged away to the seashore and elsewhere, and there was nothing coming in to take it's place. This year there has been a bigger movement than ever among the vaCatiOnists. more peo- pie going away than ever before. and each taking a snug little roll with him. Nevertheless the deposits in the PhOe- nix banks have been greater this sum mer than ever before, and it is not unlikely the half million dollars of su- gar money had something to do with it. The final payment for beets will be due the growers on August T., but the date will be antici- pated and the money will be ready by Friday, August ,.
 The farmers have learned that the factory management keeps all con tracts and meets all obligations promptly. They have learned that when money is due them it is as good as in the bank waiting for them. They have learned also that when the an nouncement Is made that this. that or the other should be done for best re- suits in the raising of beets. the state ment is for the interest of the farmer as well as the factory. Tn other words, | they have learned that the factory is and must be cO-opera- tive with the farmer. not because the sugar beet people have any bigger or better souls than anybody else, but be- cause if is business. Unless the farmer is successful, the sugarmaker cannot be
 For that reason the farmers are needing the announcement of the SUI gar company that bects raised next year must all be contracted for and planted early, and they are already signing up contracts for fall planting. It has been demonstrated that the best results come from November planting, and it is the purpose of the company this year to not only have all the beets they need contracted for, but planted by Februar-. It will be better for the company and better for the farmers. And if one is going to raise sugar beets he wants to raise them to profit otherwise he may better raise something else.
