that the farmers ha have e learned the secret ecret of growing the cro and every detail of its ita manufacture into sugar has been mastered May Enlarge Plant This factory is so constructed that at a cost of it can be enlarged d to double its present capacity and judging from the popularity to which the Ute industry has attained in one sea season IOn son the time is not far distant when the

decade the other states will I have to look out for their laurels Bear River Enterprise In addition to the growth of beets for sugar the Utah Sugar company isto is isto Isto to establish a 8 sugar beet plant seed Med farm in the Bear River valley It has been demonstrated demon that the irrigated lands and the climate of ot Utah are ex exactly exactly exactly fitted to produce the seed This will add a new industry td to the state date ate the profits of which there is hi no DO way war at present pre ent to demonstrate An attempt was made by the sugar gar trust to frighten beet sugar people by choosing the Missouri ouri valley as an the place where here A most mo t of ot the beet sugar was consumed to lower the price of of sugar to 1 cents Cent cea below other sections of the country The beet sugar men view this with complacency feeling that congress con will not play into the hands bands of the trust by removing the price on raw sugar from front the outside world and thus ruin an au
