Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1918-04-05

Many of our farmers have been
reluctant to undertake growing beets
this year account of the difficulty
heretofore experienced in getting the
necessary labor The situation in this
regard is very much improved over
last year. You may be aware that
the Department of Labor of the
United States has made complete
survey in the country and is pre-
pared to divert labor to those sec
tions most requiring ii, particularly
in producing the necessary food sup
ply. Our government fully realizes
its. dependence upon the farmers.
during this most critical year of the
war, and every effort is being made
to have an adequate supply of labor
available at the proper time for the
western farmer.
In addition TO this the sugar fac
tories will contract to furnish hand
labor to all beet growers. This con-
tract calls for payment of $1,000 per
acre for the hand labor required.
This contract will cover thinning,
blocking, hoeing. topping and load
ing. In other words. all OF the hand
labor required in growing a crop OF
sugar beets.
The $4,000 price is based on a 12-
ton crop. Should the crop yield
more than IL tons. then there Will
be added $1.00 per acre for each
additional ton of beets grown. Should
the crop fall short OF II tons per
acre. rs cents per ton will be deduct
ed for each ton per acre short of IL
tons. This is a fair and liberal con-
tract.
In addition to this the sugar fac
tory will contract TO plant your beets
for you at Csc per acre. We would
recommend to those farmers who
have never planted beets that they
arrange to have the factory plant
their crop. Much depends upon get
ting good straight rows and to have
the rows run with the fall of the

clusively that you are doing your
full duty. There are those who
should grow wheat by reason of the
location of their land, who could not
grow beets. no matter how much they
might desire to do SO. There are some
of you who can grow the beets and
that is your duty. 1t must rest on
your conscience. You will not be
able TO say that you have done your
full duty II you insist on growing
wheat and refuse to grow beets when
you might Just as well do so.
AS for pork. we OF Southern Ida
no, have not yet found that we can
produce pork in commercial quanti-
ties to advantage. We hope the day
will come when we can do so but
there is no place on Gods footstool
where sugar beets can be better
grown. Idaho has seven sugar fac
tories. They should all be run to the
limit. II is our duty to see that this
is done and supply our soldier with
this necessary article OF diet
There are some OF us who still be-
lieve in an over-ruling Providence;
that an account is kept Of the indi-
vidual. We believe there is Judg-
ment Day and that each one must
eventually give an account OF his
stewardship on this earth. We be-
lieve that this war was inevitable !:
that the time had come when the
rule OF kings must be abolished for
ever; that so gigantic an undertak-
ing as this worldwide war is the
thing that has been sent upon us to
spread everlasting peace and democ-
racy and that II rests upon us who
have enjoyed all these blessings TO
help those who are struggling for
these same privileges. Whether you
will have done your full duty in this
tremendous undertaking Les between
you and your God. We are persuad-
ed that there is not man on the
North Side Tract who will not will
ingly do all that he can in response
to this reasonable request OF oui

Let us not deceive ourselves. We
are up against the most Herculean
task ever undertakn by human be-
ings Ever since the dawn of his
tory the idea has prevailed that GER
tain human beings are created by the
Almighty, TO be rulers Of their fell
low men. We have heard much
about the Divine Right OF kings. but
we do not believe that any man has
a right to rule because he is the
offspring OF any particular parent.
Undr that system there never would
have been a Washington. Lincoln or
Wilson This is the real object of
this war to make the world safe for
democracy. 1t is no easy struggle
and we must not be deluded with the
idea that those who have been rear
ed under the idea that kings are of
Divine origin are going to be easily
changed. Our Allies are waiting for
us to come to their assistance in suf-
ficient numbers to turn the tide OF
war. 1t has taken us already year
for preparation. Our people are not
naturally war-like and 1t has nee
essarily taken some time to get to-
gether the necessary implemnts. mu-
nitions as well as train the men for
this tremendous task, but we will go
through with it and succeed, there
can be no possible doubt. but it is
going to take time and tremend-

On the basis of a 12-ton crop the

the seed cost at 15c per ton. about

much greater value properly sliced
On 12-ton crop this would give you
margin of s96.35 per acre. How
can you beat it except with beets?
Don't be afraid to go into the beet
business this year on account of the

For the Attention of
Small Growers

Those of you who have no more
than five or ten acres may take ad-
vantage of the labor contract provid-
ed there will be forty acres or more
in your neighborhood. The factory
will arrange the lobar so that they
can move from field TO field and in
this way take care of the small grow
er. In fact we would encourage ev-
cry farmer who has not had eNper-
ience in beet growing not TO under
take too big an acreage the first year.
1t is better TO raise from 1--WE to
twenty acres and do a good job than
to have the larger acreage and fan
down on it. Remember that il is the
utmost importance TO have good
seed bed; the time is short when
planting should be done. so you may
not be able to plant as large an acre
age as you otherwise would like.
Where good seed bed has been
made. the job is half done Deep
plowing in the fall is desirable while
spring plowing can be made TO pro-
duce a good crop. Those of you who
have land available that was fall
ploughed. will find it much better. In
fact. fall ploughing is always the
best for any crop 1t is an old sas-
