Show Sugar Company Plan Improvement To keep abreast with the rapid development de-velopment of the beet fields in the district, more particularly those in the Westview district and the Extension Exten-sion station, the management of the Gunnison Sugar company is contemplating contem-plating the installation of one of the modern inland loading stations in the state. W. Harvey Ross, president of the company, in company with Mr. Cahoon, Utah representative, and Mr. Schwab, chief engineer for a large eastern manufacturing concern, were in the city several hours Sunday. The party visited several proposed sites, took estimates and other data and left for the north Sunday evening. No definite site has as yet been selected, sel-ected, but it is learned that it will be located somewhere on the Westview road and convenient for the growers in that particular section. It has been planned to have the loading station modern in every particular. par-ticular. It will be equipped with small cars and a track will be installed in-stalled to carry the beets from the delivery wagons to the point of pil-, ing. Not only will it afford convenience con-venience and be a time saver for the grower, but the factory officials declare de-clare it will mean a big saving in operations, in that it will greatly facilitate in reloading the beets. Nothing definite as yet has been been given out as to the time the station will be erected, but it is thought it will be ready to handle the big crop when harvesting starts the coming fall. ' "Beet planting throughout the district dis-trict is going ahead in fine shape," said an officer of the organization yesterday. "By the end of the week fully 4000 acres will have been planted plant-ed and likely by the end of the coming com-ing week all the 6000 acres signed will be finished. The weather conditions,' condi-tions,' generally speaking, have been just the thing for the growers and no time is being lost in getting all fthe acreage planted to beets. Some 300 acres, planted ten days ago are up and are doing splendidly. Some fear was anticipated by the light fi'ost last week, but no reports of damage have been reported as yet." LEAVES FOR CONVENTION Ronald C. Norman, manager for the Gunnison J. C. Penney store, left for Salt Lake City this morning.
