Show BEET YIELDS UP Sugar beet yields throughout the Utah territory this season averaged silghtly over 19 tons per acre as compared with 17.7 tons per acre in 1946. The 10-year 10-year average is 12.3 tons per acre. The 1948 prospects indicate sugar su-gar beet prices will remain substantially sub-stantially the same as in 1947 when $14.50 per ton was paid for beets of national average sugar su-gar content. - The field labor picture is better in view of the fact that 60,000 Mexicans will be imported into Utah for work during the 1948 season. |
