ROHDE Blacksmith and Blaehlne Works "Mends Everything But People's Ways" GOALS for Beet sugar as set by the Government for 1947 are the largest on record. The of sugar beets for 1947 has been announced as 1,057,000 acres which should produce 1,900, 000 tons of refined sugar. This production is so vital that assurance has been given that the government will do all that can be done to make it possible for the sugar beet industry to reach this goal. PRODUCTION The Utah-Idah- o Sugar Company believes that it is of mutual importance to both the processor and the grower to meet our full allotment of sugar production. Therefore, the Company wants to be well informed of your needs for 1947 and take all possible steps to help you provide for those needs. During the next thirty days we are asking your company Fieldman to contact you and check over your 1947 needs so that action can be started on them now. You can facilitate the gathering of this information if you will contact your company representative as the opportunity arises. The following brief discussion of some of the important questions you and the Company must answer is presented in the hope that it will stimulate your thinking and place you in a better position to know what your needs are and how they At the beginning of school we learned to be quiet. Some of the boys were very noisy. We have note books to do our arithmetic in.

One is a new girl, named Narlene Clark. This is our second week upstairs. It gets so tiresome walking up two flights of stairs, that sometimes we wish there was an elevator.

The Company has taken the lead in the entire sugar beet industry in developing and making available to growers seed of the highest quality and precision planters. These two factors have greatly reduced the spring labor requirements and lengthened the period over which the thinning operation may be carried on. Several implement manufacturers will have available new precision type drills for 1947. Conversion bundles for use in conbeet drills to precision planters will also be verting certain plate-feeavailable. Your Fieldman can advise you. The Company will make its shop facilities available at cost for repairing or making conversions of your present drilling equipment. d b. side-dressi- c. HARVESTING EQUIPMENT. The forthcoming beet harvest is going to be an important one and it is going to be a real job getting it done. Every available worker must be recruited. Mexican Nationals will be available and the Company is lending every effort to secure Spanish American laborers from labor surplus areas. One of the bright spots in the sugar beet harvest picture is the increased use of mechanical harvesters. There will be approximately 200 beet harvesters used in the area in which the Company operates forthe 1946 harvest. These will be mainly John Deere, International, Marbeet and Kiest harvesters. By 1947 it should be possible for every farmer who wants to buy harvester equipment, to be indeof the beets were harpendent of outside labor.

Mechanical harvesting is here to stay, and machines are sold long before they are manufactured. The Company has done everything possible to make the largest possible number of there harvesters available to their growers. Our class is busy drawing art pictures to decorate our room. Some of the pictures have been pinned v,p and they show that we have some artists in our class. In social studies, we are studying about early explorers.

In most cases the greatest returns from the commercial fertilizer were realized when nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer was used in combination of about 2 bags of nitrogen fertilizer for one of phosphate fertilizer. We may not j ' be able to get sufficient nitrogen fertilizer to supply all you might want for 1947 but it will help greatly if we know your needs now. Commercial fertilizers are most effective when used in combina-- ' tion with barnyard manure and green manure crops. 4 I Do you have feeding operations to utilize your hay, ? grain, and sugar beet by-produ- a.

Ned Frisby, reporter of thii district. It is reproduced here to acquaint and for the benefit of other farmer who are interested in sugar beet for 1947. 1947 Production Goals for Sugar Boots Announced Funk, reporters. U ta 11 - I d a 11 0 year. To produce this amount on the farm it would be necessary' to fatten 1,000 lambs for 120 days, or 100 head of cattle for 134 days. This of course requires study and planning. Farmers who do not care to take the full risk of a fattening operation at first can usually feed livestock on a contract or gain basis in cooperation with commercial feeders. PULP are an important and economical feed Sugar beet in any fattening program. Beet pulp and beet molasses is widely used. The Company is installing pulp driers at each of their factories as rapidly as they can be obtained. This will make this valuable feed available to a larger number of growers and make it available throughout the feeding period. BEET TOPS Beet tops are the most widely misused feed that a farmer has available. Beet tops are frequently sold for from 50 to 75 cents per ton of beets. Some farmers this year will realize 3.00 for the tops of each ton of beets they produce. Just how much of this 3.00 per t?n you get largely depends on you. If you sell your tops to bz pastured in the field you will likely realize the smallest amount for them. If you feed your own tops, the method in which you feed them will largely determine your return. Tops should be fed at the feed let, either as dried tops or silage. You get the most value out of ycur tops as silage. Beet tops are easily made into silage. Merely pile them while they art as green and clean as you can in racks 10 to 12 feet wide and with a settled height of 6 to 8 feet. At present feed prices the tops from each ton of beets is worth 3.00 if fed as silage. Extensive feeding tests conducted by four different State Experiment Stations have shown that the cured tops from one ton of beets are equal in fattening value to 46 pounds of corn plus 150 pounds of alfalfa hay. With corn at 65.00 per ton and hay at 20.00 per ton it is easy for you to calculate that cured beet tops from each ton of beets are worth 3.00. It should be emphasized again, these are net just pencil figures, they are the results from feeding experiments conducted at State Experimental Stations. If you are a 15 ton grower you have 45.00 worth of tops per acre if you silo them and feed them. Sure they are not worth that much if you just turn livestock loose to trample and waste them but then grain or alfalfa wouldn't be worth much if treated in a similar manner. Do you Fall Plow. ..acres ? Few farmers question the value of fall plowing. It is generally agreed that fall plowing exposes soil particles to more complete weathering action thereby improving soil tilth and texture and increasing availability of plant food materials. It prepares soils to absorb all winter and spring moisture and enables the preparation of an early firm seedbed so that the beet crop can get off to an early start. Why don't more farmers fall plow? Well, we recognize that lack of labor has been one of the reasons. Yet how many acres of grain, pea, or corn land do you have that could be watered to sprout weed seeds and then plowed before beet and potato harvest starts? How many acres of alfalfa do you have that must be broken out either this fall or early spring? Do you know that good growth of alfalfa turned under as a green manure adds as much nitrogen as you can buy for 18 to 20 dollars per acre, and that in addition you have the beneficial effects of the added organic matter? You say you need the feed well, we have just pointed out that fully utilize your beet tops, they will be equal in feeding value to lVi to 2 tons of alfalfa hay. Why not substitute tops for hay and plow under some alfalfa? Then there is the beet land that didn't get plowed because we had to wait two to three weeks for the livestock to pasture the tops. We have already seen that pasturing togs is poor economy. In addition to getting only a small part of the true value of your tops when you sell them for pasture you lose one to two tons of beets per acre next year because you didn't fall plow. Is it economy to trade 6 per actie 'for pasturage this fall for 20 to 30 per acre you can get from increased yields next year? Based on the amount of nitrogen and phosphorus in the tops and crowns, they are worth more than 6 disced and plowed under for fertilizer. Every farmer should think twice before he passes up an opportunity to fall plow for the sake of j pasturing tops. We must plan together now to make sugar beet farming a permnetit part of your agriculture and put your farming operations on a' balanced basis. We want to do our part. If we are falling short, help', us to see where and by effort and planning we can make sugar beets more profitable for everyone.
