OL S1 SAUNA, UTAH, FRIDAY JULY 24, 1925 M?y Clfli tins Bis Bursts Is e lamap Tnf-- i m h .We are advised that a 'flood one of the largest ever.-biitithrough this valley took its course through the fields north of Sigurd to Aurora last' Monday evening. Heavy black clouds swept over the valley stationing themselves over the vicinity of Sigurd and the towns south. In a few moments the rain began beating down in, torrents, as a result of a cloud burst. The water came with such tremendous force that, all obng . stacles, farming implements, were easy prey in its path. It rushed ' . through the farming district covering up beets, heating down hay and grain and doing considerable damage to hay already stacked in farm yards. Several families in Vermillion were compelled to leave their homes carrying clothing through the .watered .streets to safety.. Many homes were surrounded .completely 'by wate'r and of a few the water ran .through the door and. out' of the other. Few 'crops from Sigurd to Aurora remain unmolested. It is estimated- that thousands-of dollars worth of crops were destroyed through thp flood waters.. The state canal broke in several places which caused a greater .volume water to rush down on the farming lands, and which caused other damages. The railroa.d track was washed out in several places, which held the local passanger train for three 'hours. A car of ties were shipped to the scene early the next morning and temporary work w.as 'done, so that tjie local fcould jcross. Work has already started to .repair The' track. It is estimated that a thousand dollars .damage was incurred by. the. railroad company alone.. etc!, ' Never since the sugar factory was established at Centerfield some seven .yeads.hgo, were the prospects any brighter for the best crop of sugar has been eaten by the American people in the first Half of 1925 than ever before in the history of the country according to statistics compiled by Facts About Sugar that s the recognized trade authority on this subject. The total Quantity "di1 and June 30 stributed beiwCerf was 6,696,289,600 pouhdk or an average of 58.5 pounds for every one of "the 114,000,000 popula-tio'.of the' .

A bumper crop is in prosp;t and unless something happens there will be a larger tonnage of beets harvester in the valley this fall than ever before. Thus s.poke W. Harvey Ross, president of the Gunnison Sugar Company. Mr. Ross came downi from Salt Lake the first of the Week and, in company with the field, men, has been making a close inspection of the fields, and the conditions in general. ' There is close to 100 per cent stafid- in practically all of the beet fields, continued- Mr. Ross, and the fact that there is scarcely a weed to be found and no blight, speaks very well for the grower. and fully demon-stsatthat all in the district are becoming familiar with the art of raising beets in the proper way. Beets and weeds will not work good together and the fact that war is being wag ed on the weeds will result in better 'and hea'vier beets for the grower. The splendid rains during the summer and at opportune times, has proven a big item for the beet grower and .with the storage now in the reservoirs there need be no alarm of a water shortage. Another fact to ,be commended in beet growing in the valley, is that the farmers' planted early and gave the growing crops attention. The system worked out in thinning also worked wonders. The work was good andr effective an'd the major portion of the rfidhey was kept at home ancj by the reason that it was done- by local help.- - The organization of the boys and girls during the thinning season was a spleendid one and not only was the work done in the best of shape but mor than "$6,000. was paid out in wages, all of which helps to encourage. the youngsters in making money. We should have real active times in .the valley .this fall when the harvesting begins and the distribution of money for the havest.will be .a 'big 'help to all. Mr. Ross stated that approximately 4.600 acres, were planted, and that practically every acre was looking fine and gave eyery ' evidence of yielding prolifically. It is hard to estimate af this time what the acre tonnage will be but conservative es-- , timates are that the general average .vill be close to eleven tons. Gunni- '. Are. You.

T. A. Delmue, one of the leading stockmen of the state and who conducts a large feeding station at Riverton, was here last week looking overthq possibilities of ' establishing far feeding stock. He made a thorough investigation. of the con. ditions and after he had visited several sections of the valley, he unhesitatingly pronounced' it the most ideal point in the western country. . The ideal climatic conditions, the large amount of hay and grain and .other feeds that can be jaised .and with the s.ugtfr factory in close proximity, makes every thing ideal for feeding . successfully. , There can' be no better conditions all through, Mr. 'Delume stated. For Everything is so favxorable and the opportunity so great that if the scheme is. once ateritfd Gunnison .Valley can become famed. .It js possible io build up t'h'e feeding industry on a gigantic scale and conservative are that as many as 40.000 head" of cattle and "sheep. can fie fed from .the products of the. valley..
