ing TO an announcement from the offices

company, but Notwithstanding this q
greater amount OF sugar Will be turned
out from the local factory than was man
ufactured last year. This Is result OF
the fact that the acreage last year was
not as large as the normal crop. owing
to differences which then existed between

officials a scarcity OF labor is reported,
but It Is expected that this VIII not in

AS soon as the first shipments OF boets

raised in Weber county this year have
been passed through the grinders and the

growers will receive S5.7o Ton for their

officials Of the sugar factory and accepted
by the farmers, with the understanding
that many improvements were TO be
made in the loading and shipping facil-

satisfactorily.
Within the next few days the sugar
