to them had they raised enough beets
to have given the two factories'a a sc
day run, making about $725,000 which
would have passed through our banks
and business houses OF our county.
Can we afford to let this matter pass
lightly through our minds?
We have in our county enough good
land which was in beets and potatoes
last year to plant at least $4,000 ac-
res in this county and guarantee the
two factories at Shelley and Black
foot about 100 days run and put our
county on more sure financial foot
ing at the close of 1923.
Let every farmer consider himself
a committee Of one to help put this
over.

REPORT OF j. H. HALE,
BINGHAM COUNTY DELEGATE
AT SUGAR BEET MEETING

Il At meeting held at Pocatello Fri
day and Saturday, January and s, ol
1.-THE delegates representing eleven beet
lgrowing counties and the .Utah-IdahC
land Amalgamated Sugar Companies
la contract was arrived at for the
looming year.
Owing to the uncertainty of the
sugar market and the condition of
1.-THE sugar companies we were unable
to change the minimum in our con-
tract. The sugar companies feel that
they would rather run some Of their
mills with smaller acreage and be
safe than all of them at risk.
We feel that with the profit shar-
ling clause in our contract, by which
'twe have already received $625 on our
beets and will at the present outlook
receive at least $500, that we could
not ask the Sugar company to put cut
contract which might ruin them fl
Inancially. And that we might retain
our profit sharing contract and seek
to get a fair division of the profits
of the business and see their factories
run at full blast this coming cam
|paign.
We should retain our old contract
with these changes in our favor:
Instead of the first payment of the
profit sharing clause being Feb. l,
that it read that at any time between
the first of December, 1923, and Feb
ruary 1, 1924, that the company feels
the sales Of sugar and price thereof
will justify they will pay to the grow
er such amount as the market will
justify, as was done voluntarily on
December 20 1922.
Also that they will honor orders |
drawn on them and signed by grow |
ers to hold our 21z cents per ton |
from their beets to finance this beet |
growers organization by which we
can put men in the laboratories and !
office and keep in touch with the bus
mess in which we become partners by
our profit sharing contract so that we
nav arrive at the Just division of the
profits and in so doing come to per-
'ect understanding and harmony be-
.ween the grower and the sugar com
)any. We feel that we must maintain
,ur organization Of the beet commit
zee of the Farm Bureau to look out
or our interest. So we invite all
armers to accept the plan Of the
committee to finance the organization,
ret together and decide who shall be
lired to look into the manufacturing '
# our beets and keep us in touch
With the business Of which we are a
,art.
We feel that we cannot afford to let
me factory stand idle. Neither can we
fford to risk our future by not plant
ng a good acreage Of beets this year.
s the outlook is very promising and '.
We feel that we will realize around
2 90 on our beets. We lost this year
t Blackfoot by the factory being a
losed, $4,000 pay roll, and little @
ess at Shelley, while the farmers lost
bout 100000 which would have come
