The above schedule is accoring to

beets at the prices offered. and sight
figures to show that If a grower, on
the average, charged his time up in
full. as he should, he would show a
loss at the end of the season.
Beets are very expensive product
to raise, and the growers contend that
they should be paid for the raw pro-
duct on the basis of the selling price
of sugar, for IL the business is to be
mutual they should be rewarded for
their services rather than the manu-
facturer getting all the profit from
high sugar prices.
