The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1923-11-14

During the week members of the
beet sugar factory have been busy
in this valley, Lovelock and Smith
and Mason valleys. announcement
as to the operation of the factory
has been found in all of the districts
epd at present members of the firm
are in Reno and other points seek
ing financial and moral support.
Change In Contracts
During the past few days it has
been decided by the officers of the
corporation to make the payments
for stock optional with beets or cash.
The optional feature will result in 4
difference In the contracts, as under
the former plan straight note wa
issued. 1t was found that the farm
ers of this section were loath to sign
any paper that would touch other
than the crop of beets, which is right
and which should be insisted on.
The plan of cooperation maintain
ance Of the factory and a payment
from the crops can be handled, 1t is
believed.
Payment for stock is to be made
from the beet crop, according to the
modification of the agreement reach
ed Monday in this city.
There is a provision in the con-
tract that should the elements pre-
vent a crop or unnatural influences
prevail. thus preventing a crop, that
the payment is deferred. The COM
pany on the other hand provides the
same provision. The modification
has resulted in a number of local
men taking up the work of securing
acreage for beet culture
Stock and the Note
To those who would take UP STOCK
independent of acreage another form
has been adopted. In this event the
party signing the same does so with
full knowledge that should he fail
to make payment that he is subject
to any promisory not attachment:
therefore 1t is advised that before
signing this stock note that II must
be given full consideration.
Public Industry
The Standard is anxious that any
public industry shall become a per-
manent fixture in this community
and II 1t is possible by a business
like management and cooperation to
establish the sugar factory on al
money making basis every public
citizen so desires. On the contrary
IL the factory is to be maintained at
the expense OF the farmers, and the
signing of notes. that in case of fail
ure of the factory would revert 20
the property loss or attachment TO
the signer, then this paper is against
any such proposal. Under the plan
OF an equitable contract, In which
only the loss of the crop is forfeited
and there Is no attachment to prop
erty for unnatural failures. then itI
seems that there is reason to believe
that the factory can be placed on its
feet.
The Standard has been opposed 10
the signing of notes that enchance
personal property, II is of the belief
that all such methods are against
the best interest of the community,
but as an industry and manufactur
ing possibility the factory can be
maintained by cooperative plan
In other words If you cannot afford
TO pay for stock in the factory. and
cannot see your way to make the an
nnal payments as set forth in the
stock note. keep your signature OFF
the paper. as it is transferable, can
be collected and becomes a promi-
sorry note against you.
Acreage Needed
During the week Mr.. c. T. Lunds,
of the Alameda Sugar Company,
spent a couple of days on the pro-
jeet. He is the field man of the above
company and is known as one of the
big men in the business He came
here to look over the field as to pos
sibilities in beet culture. From the
records available. the water. land
and climate, he was free in stating
that the section was all that could
be desired and his belief as stated
was that this section should be able
to supply beets in quantity to keep
a factory in operation. He discussed
beet diseases such as curly top and
declared that other sections in Cali
fornia had gone through the troubles,
yet as whole the industry was one
of the divident makers of several
Utah, Idaho and California sections.
''If the farmers will raise beets In
quantity there is no reason why the
plant in this section should fail" SO
