Show I BEET RAISERS I A NOTICOMBINED I Are Not Restraining Raising of Beets, So They Assert MEETINGS OF TWO PARTIES EVERY EFFORT BEING MADE TO ' ADJUST DIFFICULTIES BETWEEN BE-TWEEN FARMERS 'AND SUGAR PEOPLE. ' Tho local representatives of tho sugar company havo hold several meetings with tho bcot browors In the south cud ot tho valley during tho last few days, and yesterday met with tho various representatives of tho Farmers organization at tha Commercial club rooms, for tho purpose pur-pose of obtaining a more deflnlto understanding un-derstanding as to tho relatlvo position posi-tion of each other on tho beet question. ques-tion. Thcso meetings havo resulted In ditabuslug the minds of both parties to thu question on various points. Ono in particular Is tho asBuranco, by tho loprcsontatlves of tho Fnrmors' organization, or-ganization, that they havo no flgr.t with tho sugar company, and no Intention In-tention ot dissuading members ot their association from raising beets, where it seems profltablo for" them to do so at 4.7G por ton. And if, as tho factory people say, they cannot "afford to pay tho additional ralso ot 2Gc solicited, they havo nothing mora ' to say, other than they feel that there aro other crops that will ylold gi eater pi of Us than sugar beets. tt This, however, is n matter ot individual indi-vidual opinion, and it people find that tboir Interest lies in tho culture of beets, It IS" not only their privllego ' Vf but their duty to ralso them. Their . representatives assure the sugar pen- pie that there is no gconral agreement either written, verbal or implied, to the contrary. Only the best of fooling has been evidenced throughout thcso meotinga, nnd the differences of the parties to , the controyersy aro not as great as tho street talk would indicate. Asldo from Carl M. Nelson and Jas.

The company has already secured approximately 3,300 acres In tho valley val-ley for next season and more aro being be-ing secured each day, which looks highly favorable to a satisfactory conclusion con-clusion ot the matter. The acreage last year was between 6,000 and 7,000 and It is confidently expected that moro than this will bo signed up before be-fore long. |
