Show Valley Factory Assured Of Extended Campaign With approximately 5000 acres of sugar beets promised for the coming season, giving an assurance of at least a 150-day campaign, the Gunnison Gun-nison Valley Sugar factory, the pride of Gunnison Valley, together with the farmers, beet growers and business busi-ness men, are looking forward to one - of the most successful times ever ex-Xperienced ex-Xperienced In the valley. Meeting opposition op-position from almost every phase, the management of the factory has been persistent in its endeavors to place the production of the plant on the highest scale and with the contracts now signed and with a number yet to come in, the future of the factory has a decidedly bright outlook, and It is more than likely that the campaign cam-paign will be extended for more than 150 days. During the present month officials of the factory will be here and at that time plans will be made for renovating renovat-ing and making a few changes throughout the big factory and when the time for harvesting the beet crop arrives the factory will be in shape to handle the large tonnage that will he put through. Just recently the company received three carloads of extra fine beet seed and the seed is how ready for distribution. A quality qual-ity test has been made of the seed and the germination test proved far beyond the expectations of the experts. Planting is expected to be started within the next few days, or just as soon as- the weather conditions will permit and shortly the valley will be "one busy place." Modern planting tools and all the conveniences that will aid those who will plant and raise beets are to be had and it will be the purpose of the factory people to aid and assist all in every way possible. It is also "announced that plenty of help will be at hand and available when 'weeding and gathering gather-ing time comes. In another column and under the caption of "Farmers of Gunnison Valley, Read This," the sugar company com-pany points out many advantages in raising sugar beets. The strong point brought out is that those who have erected the factory have done so at a considerable expense, and that if the prosperous and thrifty- farmers of the valley would see the industry thrive and grow to get back of it and tupport the factory by planting beets to the limit. The beet grower is assured, as-sured, of a cash crop and the cash will come at the time when most needed. We have the factory and must make it go and to do this let it be the aim of every farmer in the valley to plant his acreage to the limit and instead of a 150-day run let's make them blow the whistle every morning for at least 200 days. |
