Show V v VV For dv Siar Coqav encouraging to the grower, and indications now point to going over one top with one of the largest campaigns ever seen at the Gunnison Sugar companys factory at enterfield. While it is true the growers, not only in, this valley, but throughout the entire state, suffered losses in 1926, last year proved oetter, and indications are that 1928 will be the banner year. The Gunnison Sugar company, naving unbounded faith in the prospects, has added new territory, some jLOOO acres having been annexed in Salt Lake and Utah counties, and with the local growers maintaining che standard of planting during the past years, there is every assurance that the 1928 campaign will be was che big one since the factory built, Notwithstanding the fact that the growers in North Sanpete . have contracts with signed the three-yea- r the Gunnison company at a minimum of $7.50, the Peoples Sugar company has made an offer of $8, bringing a condition that existed in Sevier county last season. It is quite possible the offer being made by the Peoples Sugar company, is done to weaken the Gunnison Sugar company in that locality. But due to the fact that Moroni beets were shipped and sliced at Elsinore last fall, and a possibility of a likely recurrence this year, the growers in that district have signed the Gunnison Sugar contract. Reports are that Moroni growers are loyal and will remain loyal, and will ship their beets to the Gunnison factory. Their action in signing, it is asserted, has resulted in an $8 offer being made by the Peoples company, while in other, beet territory and where a much larger tonnage is supplied, only $7 is being offered. Due to the initative and active competition of the Gunnison Sugar company, the growers in Sanpete and Sevier counties are getting more money for their beets than in any part of Utah where beets are grown, and consequently there is more interest shown in the beet Industry than in any other locality. o Discrimination by the Sugar company, between the ..Uta,. and Idaho growers, is a topic of much discussion among the growers effected. In Idaho $7.50 minium is paid, while in Utah only $7 Is offered. The growers supplying beets o for' the factories in Utah are making a fight for equalization, and contend that there is a rank discrimination. 35-2- 5. Garney Gee. who has won statewide fame, was the star performer Friday night, clouting out 26 of the 35 points scored for the homers. It .was easy for' the right guard, apparently, and he opened the eyes of the fans by shooting the ball from past the center of the floor to the basket. Gees support was good and team playing, passing and putting baskets mi Need the triumph of the ' locals. Coach Davis, as well as his supporters, is highly pleased with the teams standing, although no great showing was made towards making a trip to Salt Lake at the state finals. In the opening of the season Coach Davis carried one regular from last years squad, two substitutes and the remainder of the players green material. Garney Gee, a greeny until this season, has climbed the ladder of fame at a rapid pace. After getting his bearings at the opening of the league schedule this fall, he has broken all records for individual scores. His grand- total for five games shows 88 ponts. .Three per- sonal fouls, .the records, show, is all that show .against him. Cat Thompson, of the Montana State college, is leading Gee by only nine points. Thompson, has however, played in six games while Gee, thus far, .has participated in five games. If the local phenom has any luck at tonights game at Gunnison, when the locals play the Sanpeters, no doubt Thompsons record will be smashed. Another feature about the Salina. quint is the fact that while only Winning two out. of the four games played, the "total score recorded shows a balance over the other three teams. The total score for Salina in the five games is 147, while that of Richfield, Monroe and Gunnison combined total 134, or a difference of 13 in favor of Salina. - Utah-Idah- Utah-Idah- Imiizi leal FORMER RESIDENT DIES.

" Freece-Arneso- n Wheat planting time is rapidly approaching and every wheat grower will be confronted with the problem of treating the seed to prevent smut.-For a number of years farmers have used Bluevitral and formaldehyde with varying success. During the last five years a dry process known as copper carbonate has been developed and is now recommended for the control of stinking smut wheat. For two years this dry process has been tried in Sevier county with good success. During the season of 1927 the county agent had 87 cooperators on this project who treated their wheat with the dry process. Only four reported that they did not like the new meth.

Atf Baker, who spen several months in Salina can you .. taking data, surveys and giv.n close study of the geological forma-- , tion, declare the coal deposits in this vicinity give great promise. In the report made by the geologist and which was sent out by the As sociated Press, contains the following: Mining of coal in Salina canyon on a large scale was predicted L the near future in a report of the department of the interior mud Tuesday following a survey of the district. The survey revealed that 170,000,-00tons of bituminous coal of a good grade is available in the district. Of his amount, 140,000,000 tons is located in one bed tentatively identified with the I vie bed in Ivie canyon to the east, the report said. E. M. Spieker and A. A. Baker, government geologists who made the survey, declared that with the introduction of a railroad into the district direct from Los Angeles this bed of coal would be brought nearer to the southern coast market than any other bed in the state. The Salina canyon district adjoins the southern part of the Wasatch plateau coal field, and some of its coal beds an directly continuous with those of the Wasatch field. The coal of the Salina canyon district is simwar to that of the Wasatch plateau field, being black, hard and lustrous and its stocking qualities very good, the report said. The bed of coal was definitely located and its general boundaries fixed by diamond drilling after residents of the district had mined outcroppings of the wed for many years. The known workable bed underlies an area of about thirty square miles, the report said, but pointed out that an even greater area might be discovered with more diamond drilling. The coal bed is favorably located with relation to present coal markets in the west, lying eight miles from the town of Salina, through which the Marysvale branch of the & Denver Rio Grande Western passes. It is 152 miles from Salt Lake City, considered the distributing center for much of the coal from the Wasatch plateau field, the report continued, pointing out, however, that a worthwhile market is offered by domestic users of the district as well as by mines and factories in the vicinity. 0 er . . ; f !
