Crop Price On Beets Predicted Better Than '48 The Utah-Idaho Sugar Company Com-pany has just announced an increase in-crease in the selling ' price of sugar in the area lying between Chicago and the Rocky Mountains- This increase brings the sea board price for a 100 -pound bag of sugar to $7.95 which is 40 cents above thcselling price of sugar existing at the time the Secretary of Agriculture set the 1949 consumption quota. Hart Sanders, manager of the South Salt Lake district, including includ-ing Gunnison factory district, stated this additional price raise has not vet effected local prices but state that an advance in the local sugar price is expected shortly. Mr. Sanders called attention at-tention to the fact that this advance ad-vance in sugar price will reflect re-flect favorably on the price the farmers will receive for their beets. He stated that it was fur ther concrete evidence that Secretary of Agriculture Bran-non Bran-non meant what he said when he stated that "Domestic sugar sug-ar prices should be higher in 1949 than in 1948. This is the second advance in sugar price since the Secretary made the above statement and set the favorable consumption quota for the year 1949. This advance coupled with the steady decline in other farm commodities commod-ities brings sugar beets in the most favorable price position that has existed since the war began.

Victor C- Anderson, manager of Scera described the project at a meeting of representatives of civic clubs, churches and schools of the Orem-Geneva area. Mr. Anderson said that the present swimming pool, closed last year by the. state board of health because it lacked adequate ade-quate sanitation facilities, would be modernized throughout, and would possibly be opened by June.
