Show THE PAYSOXIAX, PAYSON, UTAH, MAY 20, 1921. History of Sugar Beet Industry Dates Back to Time of John Taylor BY THE VAULE OF POISE I wish more girls would realize what a difference a dignified, even way of talking ana acting makes in the impression they ceate. To be dignified does not mean to be slow or it simply means a proper respect for one's self with the ability to make one well considered by others. There is nothing more offensive than the nervous shrill voiced girl who la forever thrusting hersolf where she is not wanted, and who is offish or over effusive by turns. If you do not know what to say to people it is better to bo silent than to chatter on without rhymes or reasons, and if you are not sure of your welcome it is certainly infinitely bettor to wait until you are spoken to than to sail in rashly and perhaps experience a rebuff. I have seen many a newcomer in the moving pjeturo game try to make a tremendous hit on the first day of her appearance on the lot. By loud dross and skittish manners she may compel attention, but what kind of attention! She forces herself on people and at first they are decent to her but they soon find out that courtesy breeds familiarity and then they turn the cold shoulder, nml there is hnrd feeling. Go slow my dear girls in making friends, in this way you will attract the nicest peoplo and form lifelong associations which will be both pleasant. nnd profitable. Temperament mny be all right in a musician or an nrtist, and even there it is not tolerated in the wav it used to bo, but it is absolutely out of place in n private individual without genius to excuse it. I would hate to say how many j oople In moving pictures or on the stage have lost wonderful opportunities by allowing their nerves or their temperaments to run away with them. Directors njid managers fight shy of such people nml prefer to have around them thoso who are more dependable and who cultivate 'ud even disposition and good maimers.

Self-contro- J. P. WELCn. many successive years on a field rapidly passing. It has been found that such a 8 stem of fanning tends to develop diseases and insects which in many enses reduce the yields to such an extent that it is impossible to produce the crop at a profit. The most progressive farmers are now practicing a rotation of crops which keeps the land dean from pests and weeds and improves its productivity. For example, a field which has grown beets for two years is planted to alfalfa with wheat as a nurse crop and left to grow alfalfa for he following four years, then plowed and planted to potatoes, corn or some small grain crop, after whieh it is again planted to sugar beets and the cycle of cropping repeated. This ia known as an eight-yea- r crop rotation. It will readily be seen that under this plan of the farm la in beets each year, but that no field grows beets more than two consecu-tiv- e years. Under this system farmers aro now producing from 15 tons to 30 tons per acre. Another advantage of this type of sugar beet farming is the production of the alfalfai, which permits tho feeding of beef or dairy cattle, thu producing ample fertilizer for the bent crop. the The sugar beet crop and dairy cows ( a vety profitable comthe bination) was responsible for excellent, financial condition of Utah eonnty during the past year. To Appreciate fully the value of this crop one hns but to compare conditions onr present prosperous with the unhappy conditions in places where beets are not grown. During the year 1920 there were ibont 26,000 acres of beets grown in Utah county, which brought to the farmers about $3,300,000 in cash. Wheat, hay, potatoes and livestock found no market. It was the sugar beets that saved the day." 1 Utah County Agricultural Agent In 1852, John Taylor, a Mormon missionary, laboring in France ber incame interested in tho dustry of that country and purchased from Faucet, Preston & Co., of Liverpool, a $12,500 outfit for making beet sugar. It took 52 to hnul this machinery from Leavenworth, Kan., to Provo, Utah, where it was decided to erect a factory. Ijiter the Mormon church bought the equipment nnd moved it to Sugar-hous- e ward of Salt Lake. The enterprise proved a failure as far as sugar was concerned,- due to difficulty in getting the sugnr to erys-tallibut the plant made syrup for a year or two, after which the work was abandoned. The first sugnr factory in the United States to prove a financial success was built in California in In 3893 a sugar factory was 1879. built at Lehi, Utah. This was the beginning of the sugnr beet industry in Utah county. Since that time the industry has grown rapidly until today there are four beet sugar factories in the county and two additional slicers which cut beets for these refineries. This industry hns meant much to the county in tho way of developbeet-suga- s - ment. It has provided a cash crop for tho farmer at n guaranteed price for a quarter of a century. As a result the land has increased in value, making many land owners wealthy. The beet check coming in every fall just when taxes have to be paid nnd winter supplies purchased, hns made it possible for the farmer to meet his obligations and hns added much to the comfort and welfare of ho family. Tho soil and climate of Utah county is especially ndpntcd to tho growing of sugar beets. The soil is a deep mountain loam which when properly handled will produce from twelve to thirty tons of beets per nore. There nre fields in this county which have produced beets . every yenr for twenty successive years. "This is mentioned not to encourage such practice, but Hint one may understand tho richness of tho soil.

Wochlke in the June SUNSET: In New Yorks east side tho children of Jewish, Polish "or Greek immigrants answer even their parent in English; Italian and German children gladly forget the language of their parents when they have been in school two or three years," saya Mr. Woehlke. But the native or population of New Mexico clings to ita language, its customs and tradition with a tenacity that is the despair of the Americanization movement. In California the inherited erican population has vanished; it was absorbed in a few years by and the inrush of blond Arizona had practically no farmers. population in 1846; in Texas the native Mexican strain became a negligible factor almost overnight when the torrent of American settlers came from the north.
