It is true that fanners suffered greatly from the result gf the poor crops, but let us not forget that he Sugar Factpry sustained as great a loss. In the past seven years that the compaay has run it has made no profit, yet they are willing to try again. If after seven years of toil the company can see a clear future, the farmers should not give up or the factory is needed here ip this fruitful valey. In the meeting held Saturday night at the Second Ward chapel, Joseph Christensen, president of the Beet growers association, gave an interesting talk and illustrations for the future of the sugar company if it can be supported enough to be kept going. He urged fanners in the whole country around to stay with the local factory and have faith in the outcome. He told them of the factorys faith and said if every fanner gave their loyal support there was no doubt but that the coming year would bring handsome 'returns to all beet growers, and in retriving wpuld aid matterially losses' sustained last year. In a brief talk, W. Harvey Ross, president of the Gunnison Sugar company showed his appreciation of the 'support given them by the last year. He encouraged the farmers to try again by showing that the conditions this year gives higher promise for a good crop than ever before. He also showed his confidence when he stated that ii the Sugar factory was supported that both the factory and farmers Iwould see prosperity as never be( beet-grower- s fore. After the enthusiasm talks of Mr Ross and Christensen, S. M. Jorgen sen, one! of our local and prominent fanners, made a strong appeal to the people to support the factory in torder that it could be maintained. He tshowed the advantages it is giving the local farmers and then showed its disadvantages if it were taken away. Mr. Jorgensens appeal great ly impressed the farmers. The Lions club supported the Local farm bureau and through theii cooperation a most enjoyable dance was given to all present. Miss Poul ter and the girls who assisted hei are to be highly complimented in the way they served the delicious cake and coffee. In conclusion let us not forget A house divided against itself cannot stand. Let farmers and factorj cooperate and make this valley pros perous place in which to live. w , - A . en-ui- '"'. i i ' 4 , !
