IMPORTANT PUBLIC MEETING

The Blackfoot Commercial clul
will hold it's annual election on Fri
day evening, Feb. 20, ana will have
a discussion of several important
questions regarding local industries
Considerable information has beer
gathered regarding the dairy in
dustry and the way to secure a
cheese factory, and it is expected
that a representative of such in.
dustry will be here to talk.
The sugar beet contract and the
campaign of grinding will be under
discussion, and will probably be
adopted as one of the projects which
the club will undertake to foster this
year. The beet committee have Sc
cured what is considered a very lib
eral contract, $3.50 a ton, with a
division of 48 to SO as requested by
the farmers, but this is, we believe,
on condition that the valley above
Pocatello shall produce 100000 tons
of beets. Failure to grow that tom
mage will make the factories operate
at a disadvantage due to their
shortened campaign and will cut
into the profits that might accrue
be met even for sixty-day run. The
contract provides an advantage to
the growers for the quantity named,
and the apportionment of the vari-
Gus districts is, for Blackfoot district
10000 tons; Shelley, 100000; Idaho
Falls, $4,000 and Sugar City, co.
600 tons. If one community falls
below its quota and another makes
1t up, that makes the contract good
so the growers get the high division.
business houses and stock
men are intereted along with the
growers. in securing good tonnage.
