Burr; Entertainment Miss Van Johnstone chairman; Mrs. Don C. Merrill, Mrs. J. E. Barnard, Miss Mary McCallum and Miss Stena Scorup. W. Harvey Ross, president of the Gunnison Sugar company, and who came from Salt Lake Monday, announced yesterday that the second bonus payment of fifty cents per ton, is now ready and would be mailed from the Salt Lake offices Saturday of this week. This brings the total bonus up to one dollar per ton and a total of $7 per ton for the beet growers of the district covered by the Gunnison Sugar company. In as much as sugar is showing stronger now than it has for several weeks, and with upward tendencies, it is confidentally believed that still another bonus will be forthcoming from the crop of 1924. After carefully studying the weather conditions and taking into consideration that the water supply and all many of the doubting ones who balked at raising beets this year, have been converted and are going into the game stronger than ever, with the firm belief and determination that this year will not only retrive losses of last year, but will put them ahead with a good earning. For the life of me, said a wel' known beet grower and who failed last year, I cannot see the policy in refusing to plant beets jto the very limit I shall do it and I am satisfied that I will pull through. I am skeptical about wheat for the reason that there is sure to be an overproduction, as this has been predicted by the United States agricultural department and men who make these conditions a study. Wheat will not keep our sugar factory going and if it is compelled to close we all know what the result will be. I think the farmer should grow beets and grow to the limit. Mr. Ross, who was seen last even- - .., ing by the News reporter, gave out the following: Checks for the Becond bonus of ; fifty cents per ton will be mailed to the growers Saturday. This payment . is made over a month in advance of other companies and makes the total to date, of $7.00 per ton for the 1924 beets. The company, in its customary manner, still heads the list in serivee to, and cooperation with its growers. But, it is the growers next move in this direction. If the factory means anything to you, grow the beets, increase the acreage and give it full campaign. The company appreciates that while so far it has been a total loss to its stockholders, the factory has materially benefitted this district. The officers ask its patrons to try and vizulize their condition before the factory came to those few who did grow beets for other companies at that time. They also ask to draw a mental picture between their service and advantages, then and now, and rally tojJJie support of their factory.
