contents has individual sugar at Garland by been constructed the sugar company to analyze samples of beets collected from each grower throughout the state Mr Seely and Mr Scalley noted that the new system makes more good harvest procedures than ever before In important order that individual growers maximum benefit may receive from their crop Beets grown for U and I In Utah are processed Into

October 16 Sugar beets are known as a crop and growers will have made plans prior to harvest for use of the beet tops as well as for delivering the root of the beet to the sugar company Tops make an excellent livestock feed Maximum value Is received from them by ensiling the tops for use as feed later Noting that recent rains in the south part of Utah have made ”7 moisture conditions just about
