Show The Sugar Beet is Utah's Most Valuable Crop This year tho dependability of Utah's Sugar Beet Crop lias again been demonstrated. This timo it has been very forcibly "driven homo" that after all Sugar Beets aro tho real you might say, the only stops long enough to analyze bo quito apparent. When win potatoes, or hay, or any other crop, It Is not known what prlco tho crop will bring, Tho farmer takes a chance and hopes for tho best, and often that turns out to bo not vory good. Indeed, tho situation this fall as rogards potatoes Is typical of what frequently hoppons. A bumper crop comes and tho prlco consequently drops so low that It dooBn't pay in complete tho harvest, and tho farmor often can't sell his crop at all. This situation might very possibly occur with any of tho crops mentioned, but It novor could occur with Sugar Hoots. That's what wo mean by dcs. lgnatlng tho Sugar Boot Crop as tho only dependablo crop. Tho Sugar Companies aro always ready to buy all tho boots producod, regardless of how great tho quantity may be. Tho rrlco paid la guaranteed guaran-teed and no bumper crop can depress that prlco. Thoro Is always nn lm. medlato cash markot for boots, and In tho fall of each year business gen-'orally gen-'orally lias como to look to th0 mil. dopeiulnblo crop. If ono only that statement, its truth will ;at is planted, or corn, or lions paid (or boots for tho liquidation liquid-ation of all sorts at obligations. So why should our farmors tnko un. necessary risks and gamblo on any uncortnln crop For tho past thirty yoars tho value and ontlro dependability depend-ability ot sugar beets has been clear, ly demonstrated. Thoro aro, however, still othor advantages ad-vantages derived from tho sugar boot ' crop that tho farmer docs not obtain from any othor. Tho monoy ho receives re-ceives for tho boots themselves, is but ono part of his Incomo from this crop. Tho by-products nlono from an aero of sugar beets will produco as much human food In tho form ot mcut, as will tho ontlro product ot an aero of corn. Dairymen and cattle foodera aro always oagor to obtain th0 tops, molasses and pulp from BUgar beets, as tholr valuo Is unlvors. ally appreciated. Another phaso ot tho Sugar Deot Industry Is of lntorost. Utah Sugar Companies produco approximately four and ono-half million bags ot sugar each year. Of this amount very closo to 85 por cent Is sold on, sldo of tho State Thus ovory year, Utah's Sugar Industry Is to bo credited, cred-ited, with bringing Into tho Stnto, up. wards of ovor $25,000,000.00 of now capital to pay for raw material and for oporatlon of tho mills. Consldor It from any angle, it must bo granted tho Sugar Boot Is Utah's most valuable crop. Our soil and cll-mato cll-mato aro admirably suited to beet culturo and oxtcnslvo oxporlmcnls havo shown that following Sugar Beets in a system ot crop rotation, wheat, potatoes, barloy, alfalfa, etc., all yield an incrcas0 of from 15 per cent to 50 por cent Beets enough to run all of Utah's Sugar mills to capacity for a full campaign every year, would definitely and postlvely mean moro money and increased business for everyono in tho Stato. |
