MAKES REPORT ON
COST OF SUGAR PRODUCTION

PROVO, Utah. - The following
statement has been issued by the
Utah countyvfarm bureau committee,
appointed to investigate and report
on the cost of sugar beet production,
sugar production, and prices of sugar
and sugar beets:
"The sugar investigation commit
tee of the Utah county farm bureau,
composed of w. ]. Chadwick, Of
American Fork, William V. Price Of
Provo, Lorenzo Argyle of Lake Shore,
with r. W. Greer of Spanish Fork
as secretary, has spent six months on
very thoro probe into the farmers
side of the beet question. Many
records on the costs Of growing sugar
beets were taken in Utah county;
others were secured from Salt Lake,
Weber, Boxelder and Cache counties.
The data on the cost of producing
sugar were obtained from reports Of
the sugar committee of the house of
Representatives at Washington. All
the data given herein come from un-
impeached sources, and reveals the
appalling inequality of profits as
made by the sugar companies and by
the beet growers. A.
THE average cost of growing each
acre of suPar beets in Utah in 1915
was $56. las for a 12-ton crop. Twelve
tons was the average yield for Utah
In 1915. ~ - &C.
1.-THE price received was $50 per
ton-a total of $61.20 per acre. This
left a net profit of $4.74 per acre or
nto IN RI hn 70
According to testimony given by the
|Spreckles Sugar company of Califor-
mia, this concern produces sugar at
a cost of $2.70 per hundred. 1t costs
the Oxnard factory Of California
$2.81 per hundred. E. w. Combs
of the Great Western Sugar company
of Colorado, testified that it costs his
company 1855. This is an average
of $3.50 per hundred for the produc-
ton of sugar-the cost of beets,
labor interest and overhead charges
all considered.
THE average price received by the
sugar companies of Utah last year
for their sugar was 1913 per humid
red When we substract the cost of
production, $2.69, is left net profit
to the sugar. company of $500 per
sack. Three hundred pounds of
sugar are made from one ton of beets
in Utah. This made them net profit
of 1918 on each ton of beets they
bought. while the farmer made only
1914 cents per ton.
According to the testimonies of
the combined beet factories of the
United States given before the sugar
committee of congress, it cost them
1884 to produce one hundred pounds
of sugar. On the basis of this figure
they made 1921 net profit per humid
red or $3.50 per ton of beets.
cat the present time sugar Is being
sold by the sugar factories at 1915
per bag in Utah and $3.50 per bag
on the river market Taking SITS
as the average price, it leaves them
a clear profit of $4.21 for each sack
or $12.63 for every ton Of beets they
purchase from the farmers. This on
the basis of their highest cost Of pro-
duction figures, 1884. Taking the
low average, $3.50, they are clearing
$500 per bag, or $15.1S per ton Of
beets."

growers in Utah in securing fair
