an amendment to the omnibus
rivers and harb0rs bill which
would have given irrigation, do

Beet PAYMENTS
ARE ANNOUNCED
Prospects for Record
Yeor in Beet Industry
Is Being Forecast

On a basis of 100 per cent
sugar content, which has been
the average for the past five
years, a total price of 1924 per
ton will be paid for beets this
year, it was announced. OF this
price $3.50 will be paid by the
government and $10.24 by the
sugar company.
The sugar content in the Har-
din area was 17.47 last year and
officials are expecting at least
II per cent this year, which
would make a considerable in
crease in the above prices.
Officials stated that the pros
poets for labor are the best
they have been for the past
three years. The experience
gained by the labor recruiters
as well as that gained by the
Mexican Nationals who worked
beets for the first time last year
will prove beneficial during the
1914 season.
Labor rates will be the same
as in 1913, except there will be
a reduction in the rates for
work after mechanical thin
ing.
Prospects for the production
of a record crop of beets in the
Hardin district have never been
brighter, nor the necessity of a
record crop greater, it was said.
Members of the Big Horn
County Beet Growers association
will meet at 2 p. m. Saturday
in the community room of the
court house to discuss the con-
tract, ]. A. Koebbe announced.
