El ta Due to the fact that many farmers are under a wrong J impression concerning the 1920 Sugar Beet Contract of the , I Utah -Idaho Sugar Company, it becomes necessary to 'explain j a 3 one very important phase of that agreement. sa . I Beet Prices are Regelated by the Price of j I Sugar its New York. i si 3. 1 The Utah-Idaho Sugar Company pays for i a j : Your Beets according to the world's sugar ! m ' prices over which it has no control at all! : H . ' a ! a ! B a a a OH 1 ' ' ' ' f ffi 'a j B '"On the 20th day of February, 1921, the Sugar Company J will compute the average New York net cash basic pnee of J beet sugar for the p'receeding months of October, November, . j g December and January, and will pay the grower, in addition ' m J a to the aforementioned payment, an equal amount per ton of beets -that the average net cash price of sugar exceeds $11.00 i a s . i 9 per hundred pounds. The said average basic price shall be i a . ! a determined from daily quotations of Willet Gray," etc: B It is fully expected that the New York price of sugar , U will remain high throughout the year, which will mean a high I a 1 a price for beets next Fall. Is not this perfectly fair! a What then as to local price of sugar? If the I tah- ' J Idaho Sugar Company buys its beets according to price of a a sugar in New York, then should it not also soli its sugar on a the samp basis. The Company is willing to pay twice last a year's price for beets if sugar remains proportionately high, a but if so, should it be expected to sell its t-av.), as some people a seem to think, at one-half the market price? The Utah-Idalio H Sugar Company has attempted to do that for months past, 1 a leaving but a small remainder of its production for local a consumption, while other companies shipped their suga east 2 at higher profits; but it has found that by selling its sugar sa a locally at a low figure, speculators have bought it up and shipped it away to higher markets, depriving the community of its sugar and the local manufacturer of his profits, all of' J which results in great injury to the local sugar industry which a patronizes the farmers of this community. , The Company has therefore raised to the New York basis for sugar as well as for beets. What is good for the fanner is good for the a sugar company. Could anything be fairer? Let the fanners stand behind the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company, as the Company is standing behind the farmers! a H a a a a v a zmz!T " ' a " IIIilllilHiMIBHIIHSBBBHlBBiimiImM(iBi |
