Spotlighting UTAH 1 Industrial Outlook Kosy After listening to arguments made by H. W. Prickett, representing repre-senting the Utah Department of Publicity and Industrial Development Devel-opment before the interstate commerce commission at Washington, Wash-ington, in behalf of a $8 per ton motor truck freight rate from the Geneva plant to the Pacific coast, the ICC accepted Mr. Prickett's recommendations and the lower freight rate was ordered or-dered into effect Nov. 2. 5, by the Utah-Idaho Sugar company com-pany for beets delivered up to Xov. 5. Considerable beets are still in the ground in the Gunnison area, and it is expected that with the advent of milder weather, the harvest in Utah will be completed. com-pleted. The 19 1G sugar beet harvest is approximately 30 per cent larger than last year. The new mechanical beet topper is credited cred-ited with speeding up the harvest har-vest to a considerable extent. State Ready for Snoiv Vith a mflilon pounds of ice-eating ice-eating rock salt on hand and a I new S10.000 snow plow, Utah has begun its winter-long fight to keep the state's summit roads open and safe for traffic. J. Henry McGean, state purchasing pur-chasing agent, says that although al-though new equipment has been obtained, shortages in snow removal re-moval apparatus still hound the state in its attempt to replace wartime-worn winter machinery. Celery Losses a Problem Because of a loss to celery growers of approximately $150,-000 $150,-000 during the past season due to a heavy infestation of insects The ICC action will materially lower rates on steel carried by motor trucks to Pacific coast seaports sea-ports and intermediate points as well. Mr. Prickett pointed out to the ICC that trucks returning to California after delivering full loads in Utah may now return loaded with steel instead of empty emp-ty as previously. A recent fixing of Geneva as a price fixing point for iron and steel articles, will enable steel fabricators in Salt Lake to pur- and diseases, a celery research committee to study celery growing grow-ing problems in Utah has been named by Dr. R.

Pocatello, Idaho users will save $12.40 per ton. Only one hurdle remains to be surmounted to insure a rosy future fu-ture for Utah's industrial development devel-opment the securing of an $8 per ton railroad freight rate to the Paciifc coast on Geneva steel in order to successfully meet the cheap water rates on eastern steel bound for the Pacific coast via the Panama canal. A great deal of work has been done on this matter, and the department of publicity and industrial development, de-velopment, whose experts have taken an active part throughout, is hopeful and has reason to believe that an $8 per ton railroad rail-road freight rate, as sought in the application, will be established estab-lished in the near future.
