ing seemed practically unanimous
that the growers were not being paid
1928 contract price as recently an
nounced by the Great Western Sugar
Company was not satisfactory.
Mr.. Robson, the local secretary,
was the chief speaker of the evening.
In his talk he outlined the plan of
the Mountain States Beet Growers
Association in the matter of securing
a better price for beets, and urged
that the beet growers of this section
cooperate with the association by Civ
ing their united support by abiding by
the action Of the organization in the
matter of signing the 1928 beet con-
tracts.
At Saturday nights meeting prac-
tically all of the beet growers pres
ent pledged themselves to abide by
the action of the Mountain States
Beet Growers Association, and enter
ed into a written agreement not to
sign the 1923 beet contract before
April 1, 1928, unless notified to do so
by the association.
Messrs. Frank Deich, L. w. Evers-
man and C. NJ. Robson were selected
as delegates from the local association
