Many others also grew them, and though at first delivered by beet fork into the cars at the Lake View siding, later were shipped out from Conrad Maags farm where the O. S. L. R.

In 1913 the OSL built a power dump on the James II. Snyder farm, just south of the sch ol house and east of the Vineyard store, but this was later dismantled, and two other power dumps established, one at the "Love siding on the Fillerup lane, and the other at the Cronin siding on the Spaulding lane, both being located on the D&RG line. When the industry was at its peak more than 300 acres of beets were grown, producing more than 6000 tons yearly, but low prices paid, and government restriction regulations have reduced the acreage to around 200 and consequent loss of tonnage Crops Diversified: Tomatoes, hundreds of tons of this choice canning crop, onions and by the car load lot, fruits, berries to a more limited extent or the higher lands near the Bench area, and grapes first grown so successfully by John Gillies who is rightfully credited with naming Vineyard, all conto the tributed agricultural wealth of this community. Credit for pioneering goes to Walter and Milton Holdaway in their onion business now on a real commercial basis, through their commodious modern warehouse and storage facilities; to Stephen I. Bunnell for bis fine fruit farming and horticultural achievements, perhaps the finest in all Utah county; to Ariel Larsen for his packing industry which has brought the Vineyard tomato and fruit business to an interstate basis through trucking the products so nicely packed.
