Show f I Delta Beet Grower Advocates Loyalty Delta Utah Oct 30 1917 Editor Chronicler Chronicle I noticed in one of y your ur last papers papers papers pa pa- pers an article relative to our loyalty loyal loyal- ty to our local sugar factory and andI I think more could be added and then thon perhaps not enough said sald I wonder if ir we farmers fully realize what this factory really means mean to us as a community Along the tho livestock line which our local farm tarm bureaus have a great deal to say sa about and aud which is good advice but without the factory here here what would feeding livestock amount I I to in iu a farming district like this The product by-product of ot the sugar beet properly erl used is rca really ly the velvet to tous tous tous us farmers For instance a field of 20 acres of sugar beets producing producing ing lag 15 tons per acre would make approximately 10 tons per acre of tops and crowns This would mean tons of oC feed teed which without without without with with- out a feeding station here would bemore bemore be bo more or less a loss Now figure figure for yourself how long this would feed 50 head nead of ot steers Then aside from that figure figuie an average of approximately approximately approximately ap ap- ap- ap proximately pounds of fertilizer I from each steer every 24 hours Figure Figure Figure Fig Fig- ure this something as it Is left on I the tho land and is t the e very best kind kindor of or fertilizer and without any expense to get it there Then from here we put the stock on pulp which Is another another another an an- other product by-product to be finished The building up of the soil is one of the essential parts of or farming Now without the factory here we would be unable to feed pulp and this would eliminate livestock feedIng feeding feeding feed- feed Ing at vat home Wo We farmers know if it we dont don't do o something to fertilize e the soil soli it will only be a matter of time until nothing will be he produced so It looks plain to me from a farmers farmer's farmers farmer's farmers farmer's farm farm- ers er's stand point to say nothing about Increase in business and in inland inland inland land values and a thousand things that could be mentioned that we should stand together with the local factory It looks to me like a criminal act to ship beets out of our country and a farmer that would do this Isas is isas isas as unpatriotic to his country as a aman aman a aman man who has plenty of money Is unpatriotic unpatriotic unpatriotic un un- patriotic to his government if he wont buy a liberty bond A Beet Deet Farmer |
