He adds that two boys can take care of twenty acres during the early part of the summer without difficulty and that much of the work can be done by the formers when they have nothing else to do. There are some advantages which the growers of sugar beets have that other formers do not have. Where formers are short of money the sugar company will aid tbem by advancing them money to help them along and a contract for the delivery of beets to the company is good collateral in almost any bank or mercantile establishment in Ogden. There are at present five sugar factories in the state and they are situated at Lehi, Garland, Logan, Brigham and West Ogden. The local factory employs one hundred people, running two shifts between the first of September and the first of January. It is estimated that while in 1891 less than 1,000 farmers in Utah were engaged in cultivation of this crop, at present 10,000 heads of families in Utah and Idaho are producing the beets used by the factories under the control of Utah capital. It may also be stated of the sugar raised that only In Utah is consumed in the state while the other is shipped to Mis sourl river points.
