Show Beet Prices Fixed For Season 1921 After a week's deliberation and J conference between the officials of ! the su.r manufacturing companies of the state and the State Farm Bureau Bu-reau officials, an agreement on the Trice basis of the 1921 sugar beet contracts, which for the first time in Utah will make provision for both the basis of the price received by Hie manufacturers for the sugar and 'the sugar content of the beets grown by the farmers. According to .the conclusions reached by the officials in Salt Lake Last week, at the present price of sugar net to the refiner of $7.90 per hundred-pound bag the farmer would receive $9.04 per ton for beets, as compared with the $1,2' minimum of last year. The price scale is started basing the price of sugar a.! $5 per bag. At this price the farmers will receive $5.50 per (on for their beets. This minimum figure of $5.50 per ton will be paid to the farmefs as in previous years on November 15 and December 15 for deliveries of the previous month. The balance, if any, of the amount to be paid for the beets, depending de-pending oi the price of sugar for the year October, 1921, to October, 1922, will be paid February 1, June 1 and October 1, 1922. In p.oditio'n the farmers will be able to buy their beet pulp at SO cents per ton instead of $1.25, which they paid last year. Other details of the contract, embracing a number of features, remain .to be settled by committees of the company and of the farmers, and definite and final acceptance of the entire contract will be dependent upon an acceptable determination de-termination of the points yet to be decided. It is anticipated by both the farmers farm-ers and the manufacturers that these other questions will be mutually agreed upon without difficulty. The basing of the price to bo paid for beets on the average price of sugar for the year is a feature new to Utah beet contracts and one that necessitates the postponement of final payment to the farmers well bejfond the period of past years. In the contract provisions offered liy the sugar company it is stipulated stipulat-ed that the "first and second subsequent, subse-quent, settlements. Feb. 1,. 1922, and Julie J, 1922, will be SO per cent of the full balance due on each date on that proportion of all beets received from each grower as (ho total sugar sold to that date bears to the total .sugar produced."
