Phone Today for a Free Estimate The reopening of the Spanish Fork sugar factory of the Utah-Idaho Utah-Idaho Sugar company recalls the history of the district since the plant was built there in 1916. The first World war was on at the time. Already a world shortage of sugar was being felt when the new factory was planned. Although Al-though two other sugar factories were already operating in the county at the time at Lehi and Payson, the need for more sugar by the nation and . the ability of the .farmers to grow more beets than could be processed in the two existing factories, made the erection of a third factory 'advisable. 'advis-able. The. new Spanish Fork plant was one of the finest and largest in the company's entire system when erected, with a processing capacity of 1000 tons of beets a day. The first plant superintendent at Spanish Fork was R. L. Howard, How-ard, now district manager of one of the company's largest plants, at Toppenish, Washington. Tom Woffinden, sugar boiler at the local factory today; Ira Taylor, Charles Wood, Tom Stanton and John Taylor, all of Spanish Fork and working now at the West Jordan sugar factory, were -members of the original Spanish Fork crew. The first year's operation of the factory handled 40,097 tons of beets from 6315 acres. Plant capacity and sugar output Increased In-creased apace until 1932 when the factory processed 149,434 tons of beets from 11,536 acres. The following fol-lowing year also produced a near-peak near-peak tonnage of sugar beets with 131,006 tons processed from 11,-700 11,-700 acres. Then came the "white fly" and curly top which reduced the district yield to 42,000 tons from 9285 acres. The next two years were almost al-most disastrous for the district with the factory falling to operate oper-ate in 1936 for the first and dhly time In its 27 eventful years, until 1941, when it was closed again. With the shut-down of last year, a group of prominent growers and other public citizens, headed by the Utah Central Susrar Beet Growers association, organized a movement to reopen the factory this year, with a determination that it should once and for all never again be closed. Then came Pearl Harbor and the loss of a million tons of sugar which we normally receive from the Philippines, Philip-pines, and perhaps another half-million half-million ton loss of Hawaiian sugar, with the diversion of a million tens or more of the Cuban sugar crop for munitions manufacture manu-facture and an additional quantity quan-tity for lend-lease shipment to England, Russia and our other allies. In response to a nation-wide appeal for increased sugar production, pro-duction, dozens of agencies- and hundreds of individuals in the county, and beyond, joined the campaign for more sugar beet acreage and the reopening of the Spanish Fork factory. The meeting meet-ing held Thursday at Spanish Fork which resulted in a decision to run the plant this year, is the happy outcome.

He pointed to the present best beet acre contest for Four-H and Future Farmers of America members, which is being be-ing sponsored jointly by the county agent and the sugar company as a move in this direction.
