Sugar beet prices for 1931 were settled Tuesday at a meeting of the Utah "" Sugar Beet Growers' Cooperative as- sociation and representatives of the ' o Sugar company, Sugar company, Holly Layton Sugar comcompany, Sugar pany and the Amalgamated Sugar company. The meeting was held in the Hotel Utah, with J. W. Gfllman, president of the growers 'association, presiding. The contract agreed to by the manufacturers and the growers calls for a $6 per ton minimum price for beets at the dump, with a clause in the contract providing for $4.20 beet sugar n price, it was announced by Mr. after the meeting. The latter provision holds that if the price of $4.30 per sugar falls below hundredweight during the months of August, September or October, 1931, the growers will accept $5.50 per ton ,jrynimum price, Mr. Gillman said. Wj;tf the price of sugar is at $4.30 or that during the period, the growers will get the $6 per ton guarantee, with the option of spreading it through the entire year. Sugar Expected to Be Above Base Figure Mr. Gillman said that he felt that i the farmers were practically assured of a $6 per ton price under the guarantee, as he expected sugar to be above the base figure. 0 A sliding scale as in effect at the present time was also placed in the new contract, which is for one year only. The sliding scale provides for the farmers' share in the event that sugar reaches higher prices. Dates of payments for beets were made November 20 and December 15, instead of November 15 and December 15- ,as in the past Pulp prices were left the same as at present, ranging between 50 cents and 75 cents per ton at the factory. - Mr. GillmaB was named by the growers to meet with the manufacturers and see that the provisions of the contract are complied with. Fifty Thousand Acres Normal "I can see no reason why there uld not be a normal acreage of its in Utah this year, since beets ?re a cash crop and the prices have heen fixed," said Mr. Gillman. ' Normal acreage of sugar beets is about 45,000 or 50,000 acres. Representatives of Franklin county, Idaho beet growers, and members of theiiSUtah growers' organization, representing about 8000 acres, attended the meeting. Monday afternoon an agreement was reached between the growers and the Gunnison Sugar company providing for $6 per ton minimum price for beets, with a clause agreeing to a price of $6.50 per ton if the acreage in Sanpete and Sevier counties reaches 7000.
