Show Gunnison Sugar Co. Pays 1932 Growers Bonus of 28 Cents I I Beet growers of Sanpete and Sevier counties are to receive $21,410 some l i time this week, in settlement as an , additional payment for sugar beets delivered during the 1932 sugar beet campaign. The additional payment of 28 cents per ton has been announced by R. T. Harris, president of the Gunnison Sugar company, from hi.; offices at Salt Lake. Practically all of the additional payment will go into the hands of the growers who planted beets in 1932, and coming as it does will bring joy and happiness into many families for the Christmas season. The Gunnison Sugar company last year passed to the growers $5 per ten as the initial payment, and with the distribution of the 28 cents per ton for the 73,000 tons of beets delivered I in November of last year, brings the grand total of $5.28. Unfortunately, the number of growers during 1932 were smaller, and had the same number num-ber planting in 1932 equaled that of 1933, the bonus payment would have been more than doubled. Already the Gunnison Sugar company com-pany has made an initial payment of l $4.50 per ton for the 1933 crop of I beets, which brings the grand total I for both October and November de-j de-j liveries to over $425,000. Payment for I the October deliveries was made a wTeek ahead of scheduled time, and t payment for the November deliveries j was made 25 days in advance of the contract date. I President Harris has announced that further payments for the 1933 i crop will be made as soon as sales of j sugar proceed and market prices warrant. During the campaign the big mill (Continued on last page) Growers Receive 28 -Cent Bonus (Continued from page 1) at Centrfield has performed 100 per cent, ami since oper&o'ns were start- j ed early in October, there never was a time that shut-downs delayed only for a short time. Some 200 men have been employed and the efficiency of the workmen has been a big factor in carrying out one of the largest and most successful campaigns experienced experienc-ed since the factory was built. The 'factory will not close until about the middle of January. The payroll in every department of the mill, maintenance main-tenance of the loading stations, together toge-ther with the payments for beets, has resulted in the distribution of thous- ands of dollars and the workers at the various points have been given great relief through the operations of the beet growers, harvesting, and in the manufacturing process at the plant. |
