Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 6--Thc sud-

POOR BUSINESS, HE SAYS


seem to be poor business judgment
on the face of it, for the federal
government to discontinue the Will
liston irrigation project after spend
ing million or more in cash and
years of effort in it's development
just at a time when there seems to
be reason that the project can be
made lf-sustaining," declared
Harry Polk, business manager Of the
Williston Herald, who is in Fargo
today.
I'm fact continued Mr.. Polk,
with the farmers developing u su-
gar beet industry which this year
will net $4,000 from 45O acres and
with 1000 acres going into beets
next year, it would be disastrous
to close down the project just now.
1--WE are trying to get the facts as
they are to Congress. 1t is true that
the project has been lying almost
dormant for years and that it has
cost the government a lot of money.
"But this year we raised and
shipped about 4500 tons Of sugar
beets, which will net about $7.56
per ton despite the fact we had to
ship these beets to Billings and pay
freight Of SLAB per ton.
"This isn't n dream or over cnthu-
siastic boosting. We have raised
the bccts and know what can be
done with them. The beet sugar re-
finers are building the factories to
handle them" >,
Mr.. Folks statements werc sup
plementcd by W. S. Arthur, govern
ment employc, who has charge of
the Williston pumping station in IL
long distance conversation with the
Fargo Forum today.
There are 142 farmers on the pro-
ject now, but the holdings are too
large and there should be at least
100 more farmers to split up the
holdings and make them smaller so
they may be farmed more intensive
ly," said Mr.. Arthur. Between 40
and SO farmers are growing bcets
and there will be double the num-
Der and double the acreage next
year. Beet raising is an assured
success and can be made to pay
handsome profits with the use of
the water from the ditch, and that
will enable the farmers to meet
their water statements.
