Show BEET SUGAR CROP GREATER THAN EXPECTED EARLIER IN THE SEASON AND OF BETTER QUALITY With 150,000 tons of sugar beets expected ex-pected in Utah and Idaho, a normal sugar output for 1919 is almost a certainty, cer-tainty, according to word from the offices of the Amalgamated Sugar company Despite reports to the effect ef-fect that a shortage of sugar confronts con-fronts Ttah, reports indicate that any shortage will be relieved immediately after the factories open, The factory of the Amalgamated Sugar company in Wilson Lane Is expected to bein operations op-erations October 6, while the planus in Idaho will start the following day. Notices telling the farmers when to pull the beets and also giving instructions instruc-tions concerning the opening of beet dumps throughout the county, were mailed from the sugar company's office this morning. It. was the opinion of officials that reports concerning the shortage of sugar was due to the exhaustion of the present supply in some localities, this being attributed to the government orders or-ders which prevented the company I from holding the usual stock for distribution. dis-tribution. This is by no means serious, it was said, as sugar from this year's crop of beets is expected within the next two weeks. To facilitate the rapid handling of sugar beets, which will give farmers adequate time this fall for ploughing and other work in getting the fieHs in readiness for next springs sowing of beet seed, considerable mom v has 'been expended in building loading stations, sta-tions, in repairing beet dumps, bins, and in makinc various other Improvements. Improve-ments. The bet crop will be han II. in a morn efficient manner, and with less loss of time than eer before.

Cache valley being especially productive thii-year thii-year Due to drought conditions, the beet harvest was not promising until ra'n-fall ra'n-fall occurred in August Previous to that time considerable apprehens:rn was felt, the general belief among sugar men being that no harvest could be had until towards the latter part of October Immediately following the rains, however, the crop began to develop with remarkable rapidity The I recpnt rains had a tendency to promote further growth, but reduced the sugar contents, thus necessitating further lime for the beets to mature. The cold night-- of late, however, have had the desired effect, and should the warn) days continue for a short time, an immediate im-mediate harvest is anticipated In direct opposition to opinions stated by beet experts during t'.ie drought period, when a poor quality of beets wis predicted, officials now Btate that the crop will be of excellent I quality, the saccharine properties of1 the beets being slightly above aver i' This means that lrom 150.000 tons of beets, that approximately 15 per cent of this weight will represent the sugar cont( nts.
