BEET INDUSTRY
WELL PREPARED
TO SUPPLY SEED
DAYS ARE GONE WHEN INDUSTRY
DEPENDED ALMOST ENTIRELY
UPON EUROPE

In contrast to 1917, when war de-
mand for homegrown sugar from
beets could not be met fully because
sugar beet growers were caught with
out seed, the present need for sugar
finds the beet industry well prepared
According to the United States Beet
Sugar association, the industry, which
once imported virtually all its seed
from Europe, now produces its entire
seed requirements within this country.
Sugar beet seed used to be imported
from Europe, because its production
was a complicated, hand-labor process,
too costly when undertaken in this
country. However, experiments In New
Mexico, conducted by the department
Of agriculture and the New Mexico
agricultural experiment station, re-
suited In new method Of producing
seed, which was practical for Ameri-
can farmers. When the present war
came, all seed was being produced In
continental United States. Beet grow
ers this year are hoping to push pro-
duction to new high.
In the present crisis. with Americas
sugar supply from offshore areas re-
duced by the shortage Of ships the
position Of the sugar beet industry is
one Of national interest. Subject to
none Of the hazards Of ocean shipping,
sugar from beets, grown and processed
In America, win be the largest single
supply Of sugar in 1912, according to
the estimates Of the office Of price
administration.
Beet sugar enough to feed 100000
men was produced on lands irrigated
by bureau Of reclamation projects in
the west during 1871, Commissioner
John G. Page reported to Secretary OF
the Interior Harold L. Ickes. This pro-
ductton may be doubled by 1913, he
commented.
In II states there are % projects
under the bureau Of reclamation pgo-
ducing sugar beets. Production on
these lands has, however, been held
down by acreage limitations under the
quota system to about 10000 acres.
Output has been principally confined
TO 20 projects in eight states.

CHOTEAU SHOULD
LONG REMEMBER
CONlNOR FAMILY

Charles H. Conner is dead but Teton
county shouldn't forget him soon.
For linked with this genial old-timer
who lived for 90 years, are many a
rich memory Of the days that have
fled-days that were rough and rugged,
but stimulating too; days when hos
pitality was something more than Of
fering you chair and handing you
highball; days when life got beyond
mere mundane existence and became
an exhilarating experience.
Choteau owed much to Charley Con-
nor. Back in the early days he built
fine home there and later construct
ed business block And he gave to
the community two stalwart sons
Vivian and Alden, who, with two Of the
HodgskiSs brothers-Bill and Ed-for
years gave the town about four fifths
of its athletic proves.
1t was the custom of MIR. and Mrs.
Common to fling q celebration ON the
formers birthday anniversary and these
occasions ranked In importance with
the annual shindig of the Teton Coun-
ty Old Settlers. Their old friends all
turned out to relive In memory the days
when neither trains nor automobiles
despoiled the towns tranquility the
days that may have been no better
but certainly seemed to be.
When you think of Charlie Connor
you must, also think Of Charlie Lee
Page. Page, as he was known to all,
was Connor's blacksmith In the days
when Conner was wagon maker, and
he was built for the part. Boosting
proportions not unsimilar to those Of
well-developed guerrilla, Page was
a powerful hunk of mana match for
any work horse he ever shod. He could
manicure mustang in jig-time,
whether the animal liked it or not and
many are the tales Of this smithy's
durability
Hit on Head by SIedge
It's said that on one occasion Page
had the nippers on a red-hot chunk of
metal which he was holding ON the
anvil for an assistant to bat with the
sledge. The helpers aim was bad. He
missed the target and fetched Page
blow on the head.
without batting an eye, Charlie, a
French Canadian, looked up and re-
marked:
you'll have to hit harder dan dat "
You cannot dismiss son Vivian,
either, in thinking of Charlie Conner.
Vivian now lives in Salinas, Calf,
down in the lettuce belt, and it's hard
to associate him with so fragile veg
etable. His best friends, even, didn't |
know his name was Vivian. He was
Pug to one and all. The nickname |
was apt. He looked and acted like an
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1942-05-30

English bulldog. Time has softened his
features and duIled his love of combat
but In days Of yore one thought twice
before choosing Pug to anything more
violent than game OF mumbletypeg
He was IN his prime during Choteau's
golden age Of baseball-in the DAYS
when competition with Waller or Con-
rad could only be called sport in the
figurative sense. II was more akin to
the battle of Bataan.
Three Who Liked Violence
The writer remembers particularly
three adept dispensers of mayhem back
in those days before World war I One
of these was Doc Powell, who played a
very scrappy second base for Waller
and was dubbed the child killer be-
cause of his quaint custom Of heavinR
his bat into the air every time he
struck out and not giving a boot whose
skull it might caress. The second was
a gent named Cravan, who did the
first basing for Conrad and who was
as mean on the bali field as Henry
Plummer could ever have been while
numbering men In Bannack.
The other was Pug, and for sheer
bare-knuckled combat he was cock Of
Vic VAIN. bOlS, ne WOULD counsel the
Choteau players before a game, Elf
there's any fightin' to be done, III do
it. And he never let them down. He
wasn't the best ball player on the team
but when it came time for strongarm
stuff, Pug did the pitching.
Pug has been long gone from Mon
tana and so has his brother, Alden,
who now lives In Los Angeles. SO, with
the passing of their father, the Con-
nor chapter In Choteau history has
been finished.
1t was plenty good.
