The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1918-02-05

vent the planting of normal acreage
of sugar beets during the coming
year is of the latter sort.
Leaving aside all question of the
necessities of the war and the course
dictated by patriotism, it is the rec
ognized privilege of each farmer to
decide whether he shah grow beets,
beans or some other crop that this
personal preference or his estimate
of probable financial returns may die
tate. AS long as this choice is ex-
ercised by the individual farmer on
his own initiative there is little like
lihood of complaint even now, al
though the need of the American peo-
pie and of the allies for more sugar
has led to special appeals from repre-
sentatives of the government for an
increased acreage devoted to sugar
beets.
THE significant feature of the agi-
tation among the farmers to block SUI
gar beet growing is that it has appear
ed simultaneously in widely separate
sections of the country, and that it
has not sprung from local dissatisfac-
ton with conditions, but has been in
spired and directed in most instances
by outside interests or by profession
al agitators. The form and tenor of
the statements put out in the course
of the beet growers and the sugar
companies gives strong internal evil
dence of the source from which their
inspiration has been drawn and it is
an interest distinctly unfriendly to
American sugar production.
~ s,,I
that an effort is ON foot to cripple
one of the nations important energy
producing industries rather than to
compose any well founded grievances
that may exist, is given by the fact
that when a set of demands submit
ted to the sugar companies have been
granted by them, agitators spring up
demanding new and excessive de-
mands.
THE efforts to hamper the produc-
ton of food supplies in the United
States during the coming year is not
confined entirely to the sugar indus
try, although it has been especially
noteworthy in that industry. The re-
ports of the secret service on file in
Washington are said, on good au-
thor1ty, to contain an astounding vol
ume OF evidence pointing to organized
efforts to injure the nation and the
cause in which it is engaged in lust
such ways as have been employed in
recent weeks among the beet growers
OF the country. If the patriotic farm
ers of the country realized the real
eliminating purpose behind the efforts
being made to use them as tools
against the cause for which their sons
and brothers are fighting they would
make short work of the movement.
THE nation is looking to the farm
ers of Utah and Idaho to rally to its
support at this time and the food ad-
ministration is asking the farmers to
devote as many acres to sugar beets
as is consistent with good farming.
We do not ask that a farmer devote
all his land to sugar beets, but we
do ask him to diversity his crops in
such a manner as will insure the ma
ton of an ample food supply.
Sugar beets are only of a CONNER
cial value when they are grown with
in a reasonable distance of a sugar
beet factory and therefore we are
making special appeal to the farm

"THE AMERICAN SECTOR.

gar company, Peoples Sugar company
and the West Cache Sugar company.
The following are the crop figures for
the several companies: Utah-Idaho
Sugar company, beets paid for, $780,
600 tons; sugar produced, 1880 tons;
Amalgamated Sugar company, beets
paid for 100000 tons; sugar produced

duced, $3.50 tons; Delta Sugar Cor

$4,000 tons; sugar produced 2,750
TONS Peoples Sugar company, beets

$500 tons
THE amount paid to the farmers
for beets by the six companies amount
ed to $7,SS2,000 for the season, and
the amount expended for labor, sup
plies, freight, coal, materials and in
cidentals amounted to over $4,000
600.
Through the cooperation of the
state farm bureau, under the leader
ship of d. d. Mckay, president of or
ganization, in conjunction with the
Utah Agricultural college, which
have been jointly designated by the
federal food administration as the me-
dunn through which it will present
the necessity for an increased sugar
production to the farmers of this dis
trict, it is hoped that the 1918 crop
Will be far in excess of the 1917 pro-
duction of these states.
Never before in the history of this
nation have the sugar beet growers
and the sugar companies of Utah and
Idaho had a greater opportunity to
demonstrate their patriotism and
their interest in the cause for which
we are striving. After spending con-
siderable time in this district. dur
ing which l have had an opportunity
to meet and talk with thousands of
the farmers of these states. feel con-
fident that Utah and Idaho will not
fail to render the aid the nation is
depending on them to give during this
crisis.
Il want to take this opportunity to
congratulate the farmers of the State
of Utah for their selections in nam
ing the delegates who assembled at
Logan for the purpose of adjusting the
matter of the price to be paid for
beets. During the time these men

pleasure of meeting with a finer
group of men and l feel that the out
come of this conference will be an in
creased sugar beet production.
Unfortunately, certain individuals
appear to be trying to discredit the
work of the state farm bureau, but
feel confident that the conservative
farmers of the state will discount any
action or accusation made by the
agitators.
The line between conduct that is

is perfectly distinct. It is beginning

ers in those sections Not only do we
ask them to increase their acreage.
but also their efficiency. All sugar
beet growers know that by careful
seed bed preparation, good cultural
methods and proper irrigation, an in
creased yield per acre may be obtain
ed and therefore we are asking the
farmers in the beet growing sections
OF the country to develop their eff
ficiency.
In pre-war times the American peo-
pie obtained about 46 per cent of their
total sugar consumption from the
United States and its insular posses
sions. The balance of the consump-
ton was supplied by sugar grown in
foreign countries, principally Cuba
The records show that under normal
I conditions the various sources of sup
ply upon which the American people
depended for their sugar, only pro
uuced approximately 1,550,000 tons in
excess OF the amount required for
nome consumption. In other words
only 1,55O,000 tons were available for
export. The war has changed con
lions to such an extent that our nor
mai sources of supply are being look
ed to by the people of our allies To
make up the decrease in their sugar
production in addition to supplying
our domestic requireme nts.
Under the present conditions the
supply OF sugar on which our allies
normally draw has been tremendous
~ reduced so that they have to look
10 other sources. In consequence of
the shipping situation, this presents
great difficulties as the sources on
which they must now draw are tron
zeal and overseas regions. Before the
war, Europe supplies from its own
sugar beet fields, IN a large meas
ure, its own needs.
"A study of the export statistics Of
the various beet sugar producing
countries covering period before the
war show that Germany exported ap-
proximately $4,000 tons of sugar
Austra-Hungary $4,000 tons, Russia
zSo,0O0 tons, France 205,000 tons, Bel
gum 10000 tons, and Holland 300
UOO tons. In view of these statistics
IL is evident that Germany and Aus
IRA were large exporters of sugar.
Whlle Russia, France, Belgium and
Holland, besides supplying their do
mestlc requirements, exported consid-
cradle amounts. A further study of
the records show that Italy produced
little more than her annual con
sumption, while England, on the other
hand, produced no sugar, importing its
total requirements of about 1000 .0Os
tons.
"Of England's total consumption
approximately 70 per cent was Obtain
ed from the beet fields of continental
Europe before the war. Seventeen
per cent was obtained from Java.
South America and other tropical
countries, aside from Cuba. while
per cent was obtained from the United
States and Cuba and per cent from,
other sources.
Under present conditions, with
England's Continental Europe supply
OF beet sugar cut off, and with the
general shipping situation making the
importation of sugar from Java ana
other countries difficult, it is esti-
mated that England will be required
to draw on the United States and Gu

AS WE STOOD BY LINCOLNv

Under the above caption the New
York World" reproduces words spok-
en- nearly a year ago by one of this
country's really great men, Hon. Elihu
Root, that were so far seeing and are
so patiently wise and patriotic That
they can not be too often repeated nor
too well remembered. Speaking TO a
great gathering of Republicans in the
City of New York, one week after
President Wilson delivered his War
Message to congress and three days
after war was declared Mr.. Root
said:
For four years to come the Demo-
Gratis will be in control in Washington.
and, as we love our country, we must
give to that party our whole-hearted,
earnest, sincere support, just as if
every man there was a Republican.
That is the only way we can prove not
only our love for our country but that
the Republican party loves its coun-
try more than place and power.
We need no coalition government TO
make us loyal. We will make a coali-
the country. The coalition of the
United States will be of all its people
to hold up the hands of the govern
ment of the United States. no matter
from which party it comes.
Mr.. Root did not utter these noble
and patriotic sentiments in the expec-
tation that there would be no mis-
takes in the conduct of the war, that
the great machine that had to be CON
structed would always run smoothly
and that nothing would ever go amiss.
Too wise and experienced in govern
ment to indulge in such delusions, he
looked far ahead into the future.
Thus:
1t is necessary to make a national
army with singleness of purpose and
sympathy responsible to one com
mander in chief, and not stoop TO
chickering's.
There will be criticism and fault
findings and discomfort but that has
been an incident to all our wars. 1t
is an incident to our free-and-easy de-
mocracy. 1t will come again newt
ably. Do not let us join the band of
faint-hearts when the time of criti-
cism comes, or withhold our support.
When the inevitable shortcomings of
democracy must come, then is the
time for stout hearts to stand by their
country and say that no matter what
mistakes are made we will stand by
our government and our country.
We will not permit the chorus of
discomfort and criticism to obscure
the real instincts of patriotism. We
will stand by the government now
and all shout hosannas. We will
stand by the president as we stood by
Lincoln when the faint-hearted were
crying that the war was a failure
\ BY way of comment the World"
asks whether Mr.. Roots inspiring
words have been forgotten insofar
that Republicans are ready to deny,
either by word or act that their par
ty loves its country more than place
or power" and join Mr.. Roosevelt and
a few factious Democrats in crying
failure. instead of standing by the
president as we stood by Lincoln"
