Twenty-nine thousand nine hundred tons of sugar beets were cut at the plant of the Springville-Mapleton sugar factory fac-tory last year and for these beets the farmers were paid : $250,000. Beside the amount paid for beets, $75,000 was paid out for labor at the factory. An increase in beet ton- nage of 65 per cent over last year is desired for the year 1924. These were the statements of M. O. Packard before the Springville Kiwanis club and the Mapleton beet growers ; at a luncheon held at the Mapleton amusement hall Thursday : evening, February 14, when the Mapleton beet growers were the guests of the Springville Kiwanis club. Covers were laid : for 160. "The Springville Kiwanis club selected as one of its projects this year," said Mr. Packard, "better co-operation ' between the business men and the farmer in regard to the ',, sugar beet industry and the canning industry." mere were .uu acres ot sugar beets grown for the sugar factory !. last year and this year we want an increase of liion acres." he said. I "An increase of ."0 acres would be i sufficient to run the factory m its full capacity. If we can get the proper co-operation we can put this i 'over,'' he continued, "for it is only 1 a matter of understanding and getting get-ting together. These are our invest- incuts and our industries." John F. Mendenhall said. ''Every stock bidder in the Springville Canning Can-ning factory is a Springville or Mapleton resident and there are 210 stock bidders in Springville and Mapleton that hold stock in the .. sugar factory. This means that an- i 1 I other fourth of a million dollars (, goes to the farmers beside the beet j chocks. The Layton and the Spring- ville Mapleton Sugar factories were ,3 the first sugar factories in the state to lift themselves out of the depress- i; ed conditions that sugar factories ; were left in one year after the war." l'Yiiit Indn.ti- Mr. Mendenhall also refered to I. j the Springville-Maplclon fruit grow- V; ers as being one ol t lit" foremost Y fruit growers organisations in th( slate, ilu made a plea for belter 1 team work anil better understanding I between farmer and business m- u' ', and urged a better spirit, of loyally I and patriotism as n means of a on- V .
