Gentlemen:
l wish to express my deep appre-
citation for the very courteous way
in which you explained the attitude
of the farmers with reference to the
sugar beet business in Cache Val
ley. 1t is this kind of cooperation
that Is very much desired by our
company. and l believe, by the com
munity in general.
There should be more the element
of confidence together with a closer
feeling and larger conception of
right in all our community building.
You are to be complimented in your
endeavors to harmonic the per-
picking problems that naturally arise
from time to time, and I feel sure
that with continuation of the work
you have undertaken. there will be
much better understanding be-
tween all parties concerned.
May I suggest in this connection
that I regret very much that there
| seems to be misunderstanding
with reference to the beet contracts
that are being offered by the sugar
companies in this part Of the coun-
try. 1t is my firm belief. and ! do
not hesitate to say that in my judg-
ment. land I base my judgment on
past records) that the farmers will
receive $500 per ton for the beets
they raise for the year 1917 on the
contract the company is offering.
can not help but feel that the
farmers will readily support the con-
tract that is being offered to them
for this year. inasmuch as II is now
being accepted in other localities,
trust that every effort will be made
by your organization to bring about
the right understanding concerning
this very important matter. Again
thanking 20 ufor the free way in
which you expressed yourselves to
me last evening, / am.
Sincerely yours.

of pulp wanted. The sugar COM
pany could then compare the num-
Der of tons of pulp wanted with the
approximate yield of pulp from the
approximate Tonnage OF beets from
the acreage contracted Should the
approximate pulp Tonnage run short
each contract would be reduced pro
rata to the shortage.
In case this plan of handling the
pulp meets with your approval we
recommend that a committee of
three, all to be members OF the
