Show HOW ABOUT THE ELSINORE ELSINOR SUGAR FACTORY the farmers of sevier county are arc elated over their sugar bet beet crop after three years of failure the beets tin this s year amply remunerated those who took care of them and crops of twenty tons and more per acre are rather the rule than the exception in about another w week eek the chec checks ks for beets delivered to the sugar factory in october will be in the hands of the growers and beets delivered in november will be paid for not later than by the middle of december the tonnage is good and the price of beets is adequate giving the farmer a decent compensation for his labor interest on the investment and in addition a margin of profit this is as it should be but there could be something more we should derive some benefit other than just the payment for the beets from our growing this crop to wit the payroll connected with a campaign during which the raw material undergoes a trans fondation fon ration into the sweet finished product duct and the taxes which accrue from the factory factory site and the sugar stored in the fac torys magazines we have enjoyed these benefits until this year when the utah idalio idaho sugar co made the announcement no that their elsinore EI factory would discontinue running the discontinuance was a haid blow to the entire county on account of the loss in taxable property to the communities muni ties around the factory like elsinore EI and austin on account of the fact that they lost valuable citizens when the ibe factory officials were transferred from there to other factories and to a number of people throughout the county who during the campaign each year had for a few months profitable employment in the factory we do not blame the company for discontinuing the factory because during the last three years they did not get sufficient tonnage to run profitably fit ably we do not blame the farm ers either because their failure during three years discouraged them and they looked for other crops they could grow at a profit instead of at a loss but sunshine comes after the rain and it came this year and will now undoubtedly prevail for several years to come we do not blame the gunnison sugar co for making a strenuous effort in obtaining contracts for acreage because this simply was according to the law of self preservation to the contrary we give the gunnison company credit for having encouraged farmers to plant at least some beets but now it has been demonstrated that the best cash crop the county can grow can and will yield profit again the question ought now to be agitated how can we revive the elsinore factory in order to give us a payroll and taxes after the favorable results of this years beet growing farmers undoubtedly will go heavier again into beet growing we think that it has been demonstrated that sanpete and sevier counties can grow enough beets for both the gunnison and the elsinore factories why not therefore make an earnest effort to bring about a revival of the elsinore factory we are quite sure that the utah idaho sugar co will NU be ready to run the Elsi elsinore nofe factory if the necessary amount of beets will be furnished to them we are absolutely positive that sevier county people in general and the sevier county farmers in particular are anxious to see the elsinore EI factory running again and we think it can be done Leti let I 1 ahe the farm bureau the beet growers association the communities of sevier county and the civic organizations of these communities cooperate in prevailing upon the utah idaho sugar co to take up work in elsinore again and if they succeed we have to see to it that both the elsinore and the gunnison factories ran can work at a profit and thereby bring profit and prosperity to the county r and its people |
