Show Sugar Company Advances Payment The Gunnison Valley Sugar company com-pany officials of Salt Lake, instcud of making the first beet payment on the 10th of November, as promised, advanced ad-vanced the plans four days and yesterday yest-erday more than 5125,000 was dis-W- tributed among- the farmers and beet growers of the valley. The beet checks were sent out from the main offices Tuesday and yesterday the office clerks and assistants at the factory fac-tory were busy forwarding the checks l.o the lucky growers. The payment is in settlement for the October beet deliveries and for each ton delivered last month the company is paying ?5.50. Generally the harvest was well advanced during dur-ing last month and only on one occasion oc-casion was it necessary to suspend work in the fields on account of inclement in-clement weather. This, however, did not last long and many of the farmers farm-ers with smaller acreages made clean-ups before the severe weather starts. Extra trucks and all available avail-able teams are being pressed into service and the beets now in the fields, ready for transportation to the factory will be rushed with all speed. In a few instances at the inland patches growers are siloing and these will be held as the final run at the factory. Splendid results are being obtained at the factory and many new records are being established. Last Saturday was the biggest day for slicing, the high point of 725 tons having been sent through the mill. The campaign thus far is highly satisfactory in so far as the factory is concerned, but the run will be cut short on account of the lack of tonnage. It is expected expect-ed the campaign will close about the middle of December. |
