Show One of old said: "Thero is nothing new under tho sun." Allowing that to bo true, then thero must lmvo been pereons who went out campaigning In tho interest inter-est of raising tho sugnrbecta, nnd had lo talk thcmsolvcs hoarso to get those people peo-ple to raise thoso tools, nnd thero must havo beenn time when the mnnagcr of n sugnr fnctory was cnlled upon dnlly bj pcoplo asking to bo allowed to raise those beets, like manager Cutler Is these days. Threo yean ago men were sent and tho manager went himself and talked, talk-ed, nnd used all their ability to induce people to raise the sugar beets, until they wero nlmoat discouraged nnd thought it would be impossible to get enough beets to show whnt tho factory could or would do in tho shape of making sugur. Men would say that raising potatoes wns much more proll table nt 25 cents per bushel, nnd they did not bo-lelvc bo-lelvc sugar could lie made In this country, and it they raised beets they would bo lelc on tliclrhandscten if contracts were signed by tho company, etc, etc. The nbovo we know to bo true from our own experience, Wiiat n wonderful nnd remarkable change in the short time of threo years. Why all this clamor to rnlse the sugnr.beets it thero is not more money in It for the farmers than raising nny other crop? Why doESenlravel lnlleH by l all to have interviews with the uuinnger of our factory nsking nnd pleading to be allowed to raise beets7 liocnuso thero has ncverslnce tho days the pioneers first set their feet upon the virgin toil of these vallles, has nnythlng been introduced which hna proved such it godsend to tho people of Utah, Ills na it were, Jiko tho dowa of heaven sprcadingovcr tho wholo territory, causing caus-ing new life to spring up on ovcry hand and in every place, giving now energy to the elnssotmen whoaio lliebjicklxine of our country, tho farmers. If this one. industry in tho short npneo of three years bus innile such a change for the better, luboilng under the most trying niidndvlso circumstances im ginnble to conceive of, both in money matters and otherwise, which hnH tried tlio souls of thoo who havo had lo pack the great burden, passing in front of thoso who cast criticism at their every move and action while staggering under such huidens. Whnt tuny the people of UUh look for in the great futum regarding this Industry when our fair territory shall have many sugar factories? |
