A. A. lf'35 sugar beet adjustment payment pay-ment will be at the rate of $1.13 per ton of sugar beets produced and delivered. Since the initial 1935 payment was 8G cents per ton, based on the representative yield, the final 1935 payment is 33 cents per ton, or the amount necessary to equal $1.13 fur every I ton delivered to a sugar factory. The value of total production of beets in 1935 was $2,565,000 and the cash income for the same year for the state of Utah was $3,2l0.-000 $3,2l0.-000 as compared with $2,540,000 for 1934. Since the initiation of the A. A. A. total benefit payments for the state of Utah among sugar beet growers who cooperated has been $2,117,701.42. State statisticians have predicted predict-ed a 2,000 tonnage difference between be-tween the total output in Utah this year and last, navtng been 506.000 tons in 1935 and 504,000 expected for 1936. The total 1936 payment of $1.13 per ton of sugar beets produced j ranch operator i asked to coop-I coop-I erate with the range examiner in making the grazing survey of his ranching unit and supply the nec-! nec-! essary information.

"The program is not one of limiting the number of livestock on the range, but one designed to bring the ranges back to their best economic carrying capacity and maintain them for futur! use," Director Peterson explained. and delivered represents the difference dif-ference between the parity price of 6.90 per ton and an average market price of $5.77 for the 1935 crop of sugar beets, Director Peterson Pet-erson said. DIRECTOR SETS UP RANGE PROGRAM FOR STOCKMEN Practices which range men may carry out during the balance of 193b to aid in the improvement of western ranges and payment which varies from 7 cents per acre to an upper limit of $2 times the normal grazing capacity of the ranch, have been announced by William Peterson of the Utah State Agricultural college exten-' sion service, who is in charge of the A. A. A. program for Utah. Administration Ad-ministration of the 1936 range lands will be through the channels of the existing state and county administrative organizations,. Director Di-rector Peterson said. -. The state committee will be enlarged to include range live-1 stock interest in. its membership. These members will act in an advisory ad-visory capacity, consider appeals and recommendations of the county coun-ty committees and aid in explaining explain-ing the functioning purpose of the program. Range examiners, detailed by R. H. Rutledge, regional forester of Ogden, will make examinations of the ranges and determine the normal carrying capacity of the ranch to establish its grazing capacity. They will also cooperate with the ranch operator to determine deter-mine the most suitable available practice or practices to recommend recom-mend to the county committee, and will make a written report to the county committee. Range stockmen who wish td take part in the program are asked ask-ed to secure application blanks from the county agent or the committee, fill out and return to' the . county agent or. to the com': mittee.
