| Show AS TO BEET RAISING MAPLETON feb the subject of sugar beet culture seeing eeme to arrest the attention of the would be friend of the farmer just now 18 9 well as the farmer hime himself elf ll it certainly july would be amusing were it not N for the gravity of tue toe subject to see liow how mr anite brown or smith bushea into print aud and essays to tell the farmer as ti 0 the best matood of raising beets and nd also at what price he be can produce them when he states stales in the first Vara paragraph graph that he be hav has no do practical knowledge or of beet culture it seems to B that that abut little gem found in the vie e e snout of consistency could profitably adorn some people but ut mr editor we do admire the production of friend 0 B jones von nen vf of south cottonwood ott onwood and had be subject a little farther our ried the carried ear ar admiration would have been intensified du and this article would not have bea suggested ug Hosta he states in his summary that bat the seed for his two acres cost which m means eads 86 lus at 20 cents per par ih contract P price rice wh what I 1 wish la is I 1 in the to go say in this regard contract the brov proviso igo for adelo raised from seed furDis furnished tied the party of tile the first arat part farmer by the party of 0 ahe second part v sugar company this you see absolves all obligations company to buy beets beeta of as the he sugar the ahe farmer should ne he got get his seed from any other source which might be very tei rable the reason I 1 say any might be leil rabe is because I 1 recall toe cue act that about one year ago I 1 read if I 1 caia take not in the 06 DESERET NEWS and nd it if not in some other respectable soper if cf some eastern capitalists negotiating with the farmers of wet tarn colorado having in view the putting p of a sugar plant and guaranteeing to purchase all of their beets at a stipulated price and to 10 farnish beet seed from germany at 10 cents per pound to 40 be paid fur for after the beets beeta were dug and nd paid for now the light lehl company oan can got get seed as cheap aa any company but give them credit of having to pay 14 cents per pound und and allow them I 1 51 bent for interest making 16 15 cents they lilien aben sell bel I 1 them to the farmer at 20 can cents los per pound clearing 5 cents tor for every epou pound n d sold to t the b ia fa farmer r me r it takes taken 1 pound if f seed geed on an aver age ge to every ton of beets raised and as the company bought ton of beets beeta la JU 1894 the farmer gaii them them the modept odert bittle sum of 60 at least in excess of what the seed cost the company fer allowing them a fair margin do 80 you ties see where the larmer farmer to is on tae eed eted question another thing should the farmer gog et a push pugh hoes hoe which most of those have who raise beets he gets it from abe sugar company at the ibe figure of when in fact there in not as much cost coat to IQ manufacturing them 66 there to Is in SD an ordinary 70 cent shovel hovel another benefit to the farmer again if the beets do not attain the 11 per cent cast saccharine and 80 per cent purity the company need not no t and do oot not take lake them and they alone the company have the say as to anen that quality to la attained now as to the amount ot of sugar that is contained to each ton of beets according to the report of the chino sugar company ot of calfernia cal farnia as a found in the Amet american ioan agriculturist to every per cent of one honarine with the necessary per cent cant of purity one or of granulated sugar was produced hence for or every tou ton of 01 beets purchased by the lehi sugar com company under the contracts there wae wa pounds if cf sugar manufactured or at 5 per macit market price 11 for every ton of beets puro purchased based by them now another thing the contract say that beets beeta that over aj ponnee will not be receive 1 there again the farmer is discriminated against as aa he be can hardly govern the growth of his beets beeta aud and there are many tons toes thrown out on that account why not take them at a reduced price if not as aa good quality as aa the oai aller ab onea and ob how some of the aut jt do like to show their authority going from oar car to oar car with wibb their hand band scale acalee hanging to a buttonhole ot of their coats with their thumbs in the arm holes of their vests and their fingers 11 agers spread out as much m nab as to say bay look at mel me the sugar company say bay we must out down the price of the beetel beeta for we have bave not received one cent of dividend from our great outlay of capital capita no I 1 should think not nor will they until they n dish buying buy lug land enough to raise what duets deets they will need deed to work up which will not be long at the rate they have bought landa As suggested by mr jones jonen lt looks one sided 23 and toe right or the party of the first part is overlooked by the party of the second part it seems that there here is no do real ground for cutting down the abe price of our beets and the armen in each bett beet raising district should unite and remonstrate and toot not lie supinely down and let it appear that hat beet raisin in i a bionto and all that is needed to is to tickle the farm a little and the be golden plum will fall in our basket otherwise it to Is only a matter of another two or three years at most before there will be a repetition of this years cut respectfully S D FULLMER FUI |
