Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 19??-1918, 1915-12-09

As above stated, the building OF tho
sugar factory depends on obtaining
contracts for the required acreage.
II tho acreage Ia obtained by Febru-
airy ist, 1916. tho company will have
ample time for carrying out its plans
and can readily have the factory com.
pleted by September l. 1915. 10 az
to handle the 1915 crop OF beets. But
II Ia tho farmer and grower who needs
the time and wants 10 know before
February. Therefore. In fairness to
the farmers and growers who have
already executed contracts. the bal
ance OF the required acreage should
be signed up at once. Time lost now
is an important matter to tho grow
or. as he wants to make his plans
now for 1919,
Tho undersigned take this occasion
to extend the thanks OF the parties
interested In the oregon-utah Sugar
Company 10 the commercial clubs aud
press Of the Rogue River valley for
tho splendid work done In the sugar
beet campaign. Many business men
have left their places OF busineaa and
devoted many hours and days to get
ting contracts signed. and tho press
has voluntarily given much OF It's
space and thoughtful attention to
campaign OF education on tho sub
iect OF beet culture.
The people who want to grow bects
should appreciate tho unselHsh public
spirit that has been exhibited toward
the farmers by the business men OF
tho valley. The grower will be the
first party benefited by the establish
ment OF the sugar industry. the sugar
company the second. and general
business then comes In for its share.
The publicity and work OF the COM
mercial clubs has already actually
created the frst demand for Rogue
river lands that has existed for nearly
three years. Sugar beets will be tho
means OF bringing over twenty cities
and towns OF southern Oregon Into
closer business relations than any
thing that has ever happened. Look
ut the list OF growers and their home
towns for proof OF this statement. Be-
sides this. every locality In the valley
will be able to get as big share as II
wants OF the money the sugar busi-
ness will bring In, simply by growing
more sugar beets.
The people Interested In the COM
paEy do not feel like asking the COM
mercial clubs to go to any more ex-
pense TO obtain the balance OF the
acreage. So It's now squarely up to
the persons who desire to grow Ibeets
and the sugar company to finish the
work by obtaining contracts for the
remaining acreage required.
Every person who wants to raise
beets and those who have already
signed contracts can help the COM
pany and themselves TO obtain the
required acreage by first looking his
own lands over and increasing his or
her own acreage, and after doing that
sign up another contract for the ad-
ditional acreage and bring or send II
to the companys Office In Medford or
Grants Pass. And after you have de-
cided what Is the most acres OF beets
you can grow yourself, then call on
your neighbor and persuade him to
grow some beets. Tell him It will
help him and also help you. net only
by the profit from the beets. but also
by the permanent increase In the
value OF your farms.
The raising OF sugar beets is not
an experiment--the climate and the
soil tests already made insure sue
cess. The crop Is sold before II Ia
planted. The company Is ready and
willing to build sugar factory for
the crop OF 1915 provided the farm
ers furnish and sign up the 5000
acres. The officers and the soil and
beet experts OF the company, as well
as It's Offices and other facilities are
at your service, and the company Is
willing to go to any reasonable ex-
pense to get the industry started and
to instruct the growers In profitable
beet culture.
The board OF directors OF the sugar
company holds It's monthly meeting
on the goth day OF December, 1915,
at which time II desires to decide on
Its plans and make arrangements and
contracts for the construction OF the
factory. We suggest to all interested
parties that all OF the 5000 required
\ acres be signed up before that time
