SICNUP
FAR EXCEEDS
MINIMUM GOAL
Valley Farmers Are Expected
to Plant at Least 1900
Acres in 1912.
Fieldman Points Out There Is
No Limitation on Acreage
for Coming Year.

The minimum Triple-A goal" of
1850 acres of sugar beets for Valley
county this year probably will be
far exceeded, it was declared this
week by L. S. Humphrey, field man
for the Utah--Idaho Sugar COM
psny. Both he and James K. Nc
Gibney, county agent, stressed that
the goal is only a minimum figure
and that an unlimited beet acreage
can be grown in 1943.
Mr.. Humphrey reported that a
preliminary survey, not yet COM
pleted, indicated farmers will plant
1,400 acres. He said the total prob
ably will reach 1900 acres, COM
pared with about 1000 acres of
beetS harvested in the county in
1912.
The. federal employment service
and the sugar company are work
ing in cooperation in plans for
bringing Japanese families from
relocation centers to do beet labor,
he reported. The plan this year is
to bring families in early in the
crop year and keep them on farms
throughout the growing season. The
sugar company already has COM
pleted a survey of housing condi-
lions on farms of this area. Labor
will be recruited at the relocation
centerS.
RepeatsWarning
Mr.. Humphrey reiterated the
warning given Montana beet grow
erS. last week by E. w. Rising of
Washington, d. c., executive vice
president of the Western Beet
Growers association.
Mr.. Rising said if growers limit
their acreage to the 1943 goals set
by the AAA, they may find them
irreparably damaged after
the war, when it is possible these
goals" may become the yardstick
by whichh allowable acreage will
be arbitrarily allocated.
In his talk at Malta last week,
MI. Rising also advised growers to
secure families for work on a crop
share basis. They will also get bet
ter results, he said, if they provide
coed housing and working conai-
lions for eVacuees.
Expects Segmented Seed
MI. Humphrey predicted that
considerable new "Segmented" beet
seed will be planted in the county
this year. Work done by company
engineers, he said, has demonstrate
ed that the seed can be planted by
adaptation of some drills. However,
he seed cannot be planted with all
irillS and it will be necessary for
.armers to share those that are
adaptable.
Valley county men who attended
beet meeting in Malta Thursday
where Mr.. Rising talked were Mr..
humphrey, Mr.. McGibney, Josef
Glasgow Chamber of Com
lerce secretary; Otto M. Christin-
on, Charles Mag and John Frisch.
