Show SugarCompany Announces Distribution of $150,000 Vast Sum To Be Distributed Among Growers About November l,for October Octo-ber Deliveries Crop About Half Up. Beet growers will "round out" a smile with the announcement that the Gunnison Sugar company will distribute distri-bute checks amounting to approximately approxi-mately $150,000 about November 1st. The checks will be mailed just as soon as a check has been made on the deliveries made up to and including includ-ing October 28th. Notwithstanding the fact that the beet contracts with the Gunnison Sugar company provide that the first payment be made on the 15th of November, the officials sensing the depressed condition ond ever eager to aid the growers, are advancing the first payment fifteen days earlier. In other years payments for the October deliveries have been made from five to seven days earlier than the contracts call for. However, the attitude of the company officio's, in announcing the early payments for. this year, will be met with high favor, and every grower, thereby, will bt greatly benefitted. The. payment to be distributed about November 1, will be for the October deliveries. Plans have also been made by the company to make following payments pay-ments just as soon as beets are delivered de-livered and checked in. Approximately one-half of the crop in the district covered by the Gunnison Sugar company com-pany has been delivered at the factory fac-tory and several thousand tons of beets yet to be harvested will add more to the purses of the growers during November. It is estimated that some $200,000 will go to the growers as a result of the 1931 harvest. This figure is low as compared with other years, but the climatic and growing conditions this year have been far below normal, and only slightly over 50 per cent of the ordinary year crops are be'njr. harvested. In addition to the beet checks to be distributed, the company is aiding materially in the unemployment unemploy-ment situation. For labor, materials and other incidentals, the company will have expended something like $75,000. Thir amount, together with the beet checks, will prove a big loon to the- section. The big sugar plant is performing wonderfully, according to Hail ,T. Sanders, superintendent. Following the first few days, or until every part was welL-broken in, the plant is spinning spin-ning along splendidly, and records of previous years have been smashed. An average of some 925 tons are baling bal-ing sliced every 21 hours, and thus far, no serious breaks have intervened interven-ed to slacken the average daily cut. |
