All the boys autographed this The 1977 crop of sugarbeets Utah is looking very good, according to Laurene A. Smith, Utah district manager for U and I Incorporated. The drought has had an effect on the number of acres planted to sugarbeets this year, he said, but most of the fields that were planted are looking very good for this time of year. Timely spring rains helped stimulate the young beets during the early growing period and also helped stretch the available supplies of irrigation water, he said. With warm summer weather beet growth has been better than normal, which improves the prospects for fall harvest. Severe drought conditions early in the year, coupled with the depressed sugar market, prompted some growers- - to plant other crops than sugar-beetAccording to Smith, this years beet crop in Utah is about 33 percent smaller than last year . . . about 9,800 acres s. compared to 14,600 acres in 1976. Transportation costs also played a part. The U and I plant at Garland is the last remaining sugar factory in the state, Mr. Smith said. For years surgarbeets have come to the plant from as far away as Wellington and Richfield. With rising freight costs and poor sugar prices it simply became impractical for either the growers or the company to transport beets from some outlying areas. This year, no sugarbeets are being grown south of Provo. Utah pioneered the beet sugar industry in the intermountain west and sugarbeets have been an integral part of the states agricultural economy for more than 85 years. It is the hope of U and I that the industry will be around at least another years, Mr. Smith said. He 85 ex- Brigham City, Utah Thursday, June 30, 1977 commerce. And in a normal year, he said, the beet sugar industry contributes more than to the states n economy. Much of is sold in other Utah-grow- cash crop in the area, he said. And though the current sugar market is not favorable, prices for other farm crops are in a similar situation, so sugarbeets still offer a good potential." He noted that due to this years reduced crop of beets the Garland factory will operate well below its capacity. Plans to stimulate more sugarbeet production within reasonable hauling distance to the plant are now in process, he said. A steady and adequate supply of raw product is essential to any processing plant, Mr. Smith added, and we are actively seking the support of our farming communities to provide enough beets to run the Garland plant at its full capacity. In the long run, the benefits would be multiplied several times. d Dollars that come from crops that are processed in local factories actually multiply four to six times their value as they generate sugar n states, bringing valuable export dollars into the state. But to keep these customers it is important to maintain adequate sugarbeet production and processing, Mr. Smith said. in America. 200 yeara atthe nme location. HOSPITALIZATION?
