Bishop pointed out that what one family does will not save the lives of millions of starving human beings but that one family can save enough wheat and flour and fats and oils to keep bi ings one or more human alive. And if you don't do it, those human beings are going to starve to death. he declared. With all that everyone can do there will not be enough food saved to keep alive all the starving millions. But the bread that one family can save and the edible fat that can be conserved in one home, will provide the necessary food to keep at least one person from starv ing to death. In that way it Is an individual and a family responsibility. The life of at least one human being is depending on what vour family does, said Bishop. Are you going to let them die? Do you want that responsibility? At least one life is in your hands and it is up to you what you do with it.

VDGED by every factor, this is a sugar beet year are some of the reasons: important to the overall food supply of the nation than sugar beets. The world needs all the sugar beets we can grow. 1916 beet acreage goals have been increased accordingly. The labor picture is brighter than it has been for years. Prisoners of war, Mexican nationals and more local labor is in prospect than for a number of years. time for a switch hack to beets. The land needs a change. ? There's lots of good land and manure ready to produce a record crop of sugar beets. 4 Its Improved cultural practices and new machinery developments make beet growing easier and more profitable.

Protect your right to grow beets in the future. The day will surely come when and individual acreage quotas will again be applied against states, factory districts farms. Past production history, right down to the individual farms, will be an im jxwtant factor in determining these allotments. The time is later than you think, tor a number of years, several areas have been expanding their beet acreage while ours has been shrinking. This is a dangerous development. Let s start to reverse this trend . . . this year. UTAII-IDAII- O SUGAR COMPANY This year will likely see the biggest planting of sugar beets in history in a number of important Western sugar beet areas, according to Noble president of the Utah Beet Growers association. Hunsaker recently returned from Denver where he attended a meeting of the policy committee of the beet sugar industry. Farmers in this area are contracting and planting, with Hun-cake- and here Beets of average quality will bring to beet growers of Garland district $13,221 a ton if sugar content in 1916 equals last average. This is $1.00 higher than last year. It is the and it is assured by statement highest price ever paid in history of Secretary of Agriculture Anderson in August, 1945. 3 Agri- Contests In SUGAR BEET YEAR' No crop grown in this area is more State cultural college and U.

Contests Encourage Members' Efforts In Soil Conservation , Protection Of Farms 4-- Wrigley of Logan, ing director, Utah extension emergency farm labor director willdo everything possible to help farmers get their sugar beets thinned and harvester this year. Utah is fortunate that we have developed through the years a student labor program for thinning and harvesting beets. There is scarcely a beet growing section in the state where the and local school authorities townspeople dont realize the with importance of growers at thinning and harvesting times. In some sections our beet growers are practically independent of any imported labor because of the they get from our school people. Utah farmers can also expect help from other local labor. Already over 40,000 have returned to Utah. A large proportion of these are farm boys. Other thousands will be back before next fall. Of course all these cant be counted on for sugar beets. Many of them will go to school, some of them will work in stores, factories, offices, and do other work; but thousands of them will be available for farm work. Servicemen will displace many industrial workers who will then be available for farm work. For several years one of our biggest handicaps has been the shortage of skilled farm workers to run tractors, do irrigating, assist in feeding onera tions and other such jobs. This year I am sure we will have more men to do this kind of work than we have had in many years. We can count on our boys to help in seasonal work, too, once they realize the importance of the job and get adjusted to civilian life again. Realizing the importance of sugar beets to the nation this year, a sound labor program will be developed to handle and harvest all beets planted in act- -- ? d Q Brigham City.

Awards to the 1946 winners will be given by Allis Chalmers, Mr. Sharp said. Last year county. state, sectional and national awards were given winners. Other objectives of the contest are: (1) To acquire the the knowledge and develop the skills essential to the care and managment of a garden. (2) To contribute to better family health by producing sufficient amounts of essential and nutritious vegetables and fruits for use throughout the year. (3) To contribute to family and national welfare by reducing the amount of food purchased. (4) To carry out a planned program of garden insect and disease control. (5) To learn to market garden produce. Utah clubs are cooperating fully with all phases of the fight against famine program Mr. Sharp said.

Growers also seem to be well aware that new sugar legislation will be enacted in 1946 to take the place of the present federal sugar act which 31 of this expires on December year. There is now no question in my mind that this new legislation will include quota limitations of future production and that these quotas will be based partly on present beet production history. It is to be hoped that our Utah farmers will attach the same importance to maintaining a good acreage history as beet growers in some of our neighboring states are doing, and that they will plant all the ebets they consistently can in 1946. Only in that way can we protect our future right to grow sugar beets here. I want to emphasize this also: These future quotas are bound to affect individual growers in exactly the same way they will affect districts. This matter isnt something we can pass off indifferently and say, Oh, everything will turn out all right for me. As president of the state Beet Growers association, with the knowledge my contacts with Washington officials and elsewhere has given me, I would feel that I had neglected my duty if I did not continually remind my fellow growers of some of these things. Hunsaker also expressed satisfaction that the farm labor picture for 1946 appears brightReer than for several years. cent assurances by the federal that a government, he said, large number of Mexican nationals and prisoners of war will be available for work on farms of the nation are encouraging. Utah has already received a generous allotment of these. We are still hoping that a substantial number of prisoners of war will be held over to assist in the fall harvest. This matter is receiving the earnest atention of the war department in Washington and of President Truman. The supply of local labor is also very much better than for some years. A good many of our local boys, including men who have served with the armed forces, are coming back to assist in farm work.
