Reign of Holmstead Many great and near-great ball players have cavorted on the hardwoods for the Forker school in the past 30 years and the first team that went to the state meet was back in 1921.

Coach Holmstead again took a crew to the state meet in 1922 and added four new names to the roster: Alton Storrs, Elmo Crookston, Earl Parduhn and Alex Karren. Ingersoll Follows Holmstead In 1923 the Forker's took another an-other trip to the state meet with Mentor Holmstead passing out the strategy. That year the names of Elden Chipman, Pete Conder and Dean Nielsen were added to the list. After burning up the college hoop courts, "Rags" Ingersoll returned re-turned to his high school in the capacity of a coach and took a team to the state tournament in 1930.

MECHANIZATION. . .BY-PRODUCTS If sugar beet growers had known in the spring of 1948 what they now know about sugar prices and prospects, they would likely have planted many thousands of acres more of sugar beets than they did. Prospects for 1949 are even better for the grower than they were last year. Here are the facts: The present price of sugar and future market prospects, based on the recently expressed attitude of the Secretary of Agriculture and on his official estimated "consumption requirements for 1949," indicate that substantially) higher prices for this year's sugar beet crop can be expected than were received by the grower for last year's crop. Said the Secretary: "Domestic sugar prices should be higher in 1949 than in 1948. The present wholesale 'price of refined re-fined sugar at 8 cents a pound is about one cent below the prke objective defined in the Sugar Act." The 1949 sugar beet contract recently approved by- this company and growers' representatives is as good as, or better than, any sugar beet contract currently being offered offer-ed in the nation. Under last year's contract growers of this district have already received $11.60 in direct company com-pany payments and government benefit payments, with a substantial additional final company payment of around $1.00 or more per ton confidently expected when the 1948 crop sugar has been fully sold. The prospective price of sugar beets for'1949 bears a more favorable relationship to other crops than at any other time since before the war. In 1949 the sugar beet crop is the only crop still grown under a government support program which offers the farmer better prospects than he had a year ago . . . and the Sugar Act runs until December 31, 1952. Moreover, sugar beets is the only major crop still enjoying en-joying government support which is not already produced in surplus quantities ... and therefore is not likely to suffer in the immediate future from the effects of overproduction. Sugar beets are a two-profit crop. The feed value of the tops from an acre of sugar beets, when properly utilized, utiliz-ed, is equal to the entire feed value of an acre of barley. Many farmers last year made $40 to $55 per acre through pasturing lambs "on spread." Farmers can further increase their yields and their profits from 1949 sugar beets by. planting early, by fertilizing ferti-lizing properly, and by using proved practices and tested machinery for thinning, blocking and weeding their beet fields this spring. Spring labor costs can be reduced and yields can be increased three or four tons to the acre in this manner. Labor for handling this year's sugar beet crop is more favorable than it has been at any time since the beginning of the war for farmers who are prepared to take their labor early. The company is already actively recruiting labor in all major labor surplus areas. Local farm labor will also be more plentiful than usual.
