CARBON FARMERS
GET S9,75'i8 FOR
TRIPLE A PACT
100 Checks Make Up Final
Payments TO
Growers

One hundred and twenty Triple
A sugar beet checks, amounting to
$9,758 have just been received as
the last payment of the 1885 SUI
gar crop for Carbon Comfy, accord
ingto O.. P. Roberts, county ex-
tension agent.
This final payment under the
Triple A sugar beet program, re-
presents a 33c payment per ton of
the beets actually raised. All grow
ers have been notified of the ar
rival of their checks and many
have called for the same at the ex-
tension office or sent for neces-
sary receipts to be signed.
Since some difficulty is expert
enced by those receiving checks in
understanding the method of pay
ment, the following explanation is
given. An advance payment of SOC
per ton on estimated production
was given for the first 1885 pay
ment. Later it was determined that
a payment of 33c per ton would
bring the sugar beet price up to a
parity price. The clause governing
the final payment for 1885 states
specifically that the payment will
be made on actual production and
not on estimated production, there
fore the actual tonnage times $1.13
(80c plus 33c) gives the total sum
of money that could be collected
for the season of 1885. This sum-
less the advance payment and less
administrative expenses, will give
the amount of the final payment.
The main difficulty experienced in
understanding this payment was
greater than it would have been
had an actual tonnage been used
in figuring it, and therefore it a
greater payment was received as
an advance payment, a smaller
payment and sometimes none at all
would result in the final payment.
There are a few people who rais-
ed beets in 1885 who will not re-
ceive any final payment due to the
fact that the advance payment on
estimated production was greater
than the entire payment when the
actual tonnage was known. A few
checks may be received later be-
cause of the fact that some of the
compliance forms were signed and
sent in later than the main group.
It is understood that Carbon
County is the first to receive sugar
checks in this section of the coun-
try.

TESTS SHOW How BIG Big

WITH PHOSPHATE
Fertilizer Use Justified
In Carbon County
Experiment

Two experiments were carried
| on in Carbon County last summer,
trying out the use of ammoniated
phosphate and treble super phos-
phate on potato yields. These two
experiments were carried on in the
Poverty Flat community and IN
the Fox community by the Expert
ment Station in cooperation with
the extension service at Joliet.
The fertilizer and the planter
were furnished by the experiment
station and the cooperation simply
agreed to plant together and dig
at the same time so that these ex-
periments could be checked by the
Experiment Station. The planter
was brought in from Bozennan
which would plant the commercial
fertilizer at the same depth as the
seed piece. This experiment was
carried on with Triumph potatoes,
Melted Gem and Gold Coin pota-
toes.
Is Worth While
The experiment proved itself
well worth while in both cases,
since in the Triumph the super
phosphate caused a II sack in-
crease per acre Of number ones,
while the ammoniated phosphate
made on increase of Sc sacks per
acre. In the case of the Melted

WHO GOT THE MONEY!

One of the chief reasons for the
failure of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration to relieve the
common farmer with the S1,127, ,OOO.-
600 II paid out in agricultural bene-
fits is reluctantly coming TO light
Much of the money went to large
corporate farming interests which
certainly did not urgently need such
benevolent relief" comparatively
little ever found its way into the
pockets of the little fellow who is
eternally but half jump ahead of
the sheriff.
Benefit distribution figures would
indicate that the farm-aid money was
being equitably spread; the fact is,
according to the figures so far avail
able about a fifth of the growers in
each class got about four-fifths of
the mOney-and the fifth was com
posed of big concerns that did not
need the money!
II is no defense to say that under
the wording of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act there was no alterna-
tive; that each grower had to be paid
according to his non-production. The
highly ballyhooed purpose of the
whole scheme was to relieve the
poor farmer; instead of that it en-
riched the big and prosperous farm
and, through its cOllat- !
eral effects on their markets and !
prices, left the needy soil tillers
worse off than befOre.-LOs Angeles

CHAIN STORES COOPERATE

Success Of the nationwide canned
California peach sales drive was as
sured this week. as the third week
of the unique experiment in market
ing surplus crops through the CO.
operation Of $4,000 chain grocery

cent, was shown by figures released

Sterilization Committee, organized
by leading growers in March to stim-
ulate the consumption Of the product.
A substantial reduction already
has been made in the surplus pack of
