"I can't see a reason on God's green earth why Secretary of Agriculture Agri-culture Wallace does't sign the sugar stntai.ation agreement," Congressman Fred Cumnlings ol Colorado declared before a group of Utah county farmers in the First ward hall Friday night. Congressman Cummings and J. W. Gillmnn of Orem, president of the Utah Sugar Beet Growers association, as-sociation, gave talks centered on the critical condition of the sugar, beet industry and both strongly urged that the farmers present individually in-dividually wire President Roosevelt Roose-velt urging him to direct Secretary Wallace to sign the agreement which will mean so much to the iiiture of the sugar 'beet industry. The farmers appointed N. C. Christensen of Salem, A. M. Anderson Ander-son of Provo and Bernard Christensen Chris-tensen of American Fork as n committee to formulate a resolution resolu-tion to send tr. the president of the United States, pointing out the plight of the industry. "The stabilization plan will help everyone; it will not cost anything like some of these other farm plans and 99 per cent of the interested parties want it," Mr. Cummings stated. j Congressman Cummings scored 1 the secretary of agriculture for not j sticking to his word, and declared j ihat he couldn't conceive of a "man as secretary of agriculture with no more horse sense." He declared that, it was impossible impos-sible to comrote on the western sugar beet fields, with cane growers grow-ers in the Phillipine Islands, Cuba and the like, when over there natives na-tives are hired for about $35 a year , and they raise as many tons of sugar to the acre as western farmers farm-ers raise tons of beets. Of Bernhardt, the man selected to head the sugar section under the ! new setup and then was replaced I by Mr. Weaver, Mr. Cummings said the thought came after talking with him about the agreement "cast not your pearls before I swine." ' "If the sugar industry here is j killed you may charge it to the , Democratic party," deel ared the militant Colorado congressman, who as a Democrat himself, stated . that he would support President ; Roosevelt "so long as he is right." The stabilization agreement will not be a hardship on the consumer, . he declared, because sugar even at 10 or 15 cents a pound is as cheap 1 a food- as eggs at four cents a dozen. Mr. Gillman pointed out that f here a re J 1.500 acres cT sugar I beets being harvested in Utah county this 1'alt with an approxi-j approxi-j mate yield of 150.00G This will j i yield about $600,000 to farmers here ' on the initial pnymcnt. In fl32. if it had not been for i the beets t here would not have been half the taxes paid," he tesli-field tesli-field in a fa rm L'.ia rd hca ring at I Washington ca rlier this year, it . was brought out. He declared that the movement on foot now going i foiward in the west is fostered by ; the National Sugar Beet Growers association.
