EDITORIAL '49 POPULATION GAINS " Challenging to all Utah people is the knowledge that this state is near the top of all states in the union in percentage percent-age of population gain during the past eight years. In faqt, this state is seventh out of the forty-eight states, with a gain of 19 since 1940. The first ten states according to percentage of gain are: Oregon, California, Washington, Arizona, Nevada Florida, Utah, Maryland, Michigan and Connecticut. The' changes during the last eight years run all the way from a 49 gain for Oregon to a 13 loss for North Dakota. In actual population count, not percentage, Utah has also moved forward from fortieth in 1940 to thirty-eighth in 1948. American Fork has kept pace,' for its 1940 population count of 3300 is estimated to have almost doubled since the last official census. With the remarkable gains that have been made in population comes the unmistakable challenge for wise planning plan-ning and development of our resources in order to maintain and enhance these gains and provide a decent standard of living. Senator Thomas Writes Provo River Project At my request the Secretary of the Interior has asked the Director Direc-tor of the Budget to include in the 1950 Appropriation Bill the sum of $800,000.00 needed to complete com-plete the terminal reservoir facil ities of the Salt Lake aqueduct. I stated that it is absolutely im- paratlve that the water supply of the Provo River Project, forty miles distant from Salt Lake Valley, Val-ley, be brought in at the earliest possible date. This Is necessary to meet any threat of a draught, and to satisfy existing demands of population and industrial expansion. ex-pansion. Today I pointed out to the Director of the Budget that not cnly the people of Utah are badly in need of this water supply sup-ply but as soon as this work is finished the Government will begin be-gin to get a return on the vast amount of money which it has spent on this project.

Fork Jerry Buckley 0647-R1, Orem Cont ract Backed By Recently the sugar company and representatives of beet growers approved a contract which is now in the field. Under this contract sugar beet prices should be substantially higher than prices which last year's crop brought. This is mainly due to the fact that sugar prices have recently advanced and future sugar prices are expected to be more favorable fav-orable to the grower. , 1 This improvement in sugar prices followed the Secretary of Agriculture's action in making his annual official estimate of consumption of sugar for 1949 at a level low enough to strengthen the sugar market and to indicate probable further advances in sugar prices. In support of this belief the Secretary of Agriculture recently said: "Domestic sugar prices should be higher in 1949 than in 1948. The present wholesale price of refined sugar at 8 cents a pound is about one cent below the price objective defined in the Sugar Act." Another point favoring the planting of more sugar beets this year is this: The prospective price of sugar beets compared with prospective prices for other corps is more favorable to beets than at any time since before the war. - i And this fact Is also -true: Sugar beets this year, is the only crop still under a government support program which gives the farmer better price prospects than were offered last year, for sugar beets is the only major crop we can grow which Is not already produced in surplus. Sugar beet growers will continue to receive government benefit payments this year and till the end of 1952, under terms of the 1948 Sugar Act. We recommend that fanners plant a full acreage of sugar beets in 1949 to pro tect their allotment in the event quotas are applied and we are forced to restrict reage on the basis of "past history." our ac- Cental Utah Beet Growers' Association KARL ALLEMAN, President G.
