ABERDEEN TOUR CALLS 100 LOCAL FARMERS Large Group of Cassia County Farmers Visit Aberdeen Sub-Station to Study Results Of Its Experiments Approximately 300 4 -H club members and 100 parents and leaders enjoyed the 4-H county club picnic held in Howell canyon on Thursday. Mr. Palmer, county agent, stated that the picnic was one of the outstanding events held in the county "the past few years and was indicative of a great deal of interest in the various 4-H club projects. Most of the morning program consisted of games and making arrangements for the afternoon events which followed the noon lunch. Cassia county bankers supplied refreshments and cooperated materially in the holding of the program, as well as several Burley merchants supplying prizes for winners in the various games.

J. W. Barber, district extension agent, represented Dean E. J. Id-dings, who was not able to attend, and Miss Margaret Hill, district home demonstration agent, represented the home economics department of the University.

Speakers at the program, in addition to Mr. Barber and Miss Hill, were B. F. Mahoney, who was chairman of the day; E. A.

Clayton Beck, president of the Cassia County Beetgrowers committee, is in receipt this week of disappointing but not unexpected news from the Amalgamated Sugar company to the effect that there will be no additional payment on the 1938 crop of beets.

The statement from the company, which is self-explanatory, follows: The beet contract under which the 1038 crop of beets was purchased provides for a subsequent payments on beets on July 15 if the net return on sugar sold justifies such payment. The initial payment made to growers last fall was $4.40 per ton, and no additional payments will be due in any of the factory districts until the net returns from the sale of sugar exceeds S3.35 per bag. We regret to state that the average net return on sugar sold during the period October 1, 1938, to June 30, 1939, is below $3.35 and therefore no payment is due the growers at this time. It is regrettable that sugar prices are being maintained at existing low levels, when the Act provides the machinery that could be used to maintain levels which would return a satisfactory price to the grower for his beets. The surplus sugar hanging over the market because of a too liberal estimate of consumers' requirements by the department of agriculture is the cause of present low prices.

This condition could be corrected overnight by reducing the consumption estimate and adjusting the quotas accordingly. Dr. Bernhardt of the Sugar Section argues that apparently prices are satisfactory because of the demand for beet acreage, and judging from the attitude in Washington the policy will probably be to depress prices until the beet grower stops growing beets. tnai potato aci cage gome in the county stands are quite poor there is no question ds will tail short ma- a nast vea.r.

A. Bot-tolfsen has issued a proclamation, designating "Idaho Sugar Time" July 17-29, during which time Idaho residents are asked to support and recognize this vital product which brings millions of dollars in wealth annually to the state. The proclamation comes at time when Idaho's pure sugar 1 widely used for canning and pre-serving in the state. Boosting the Idaho product. Governor Bottolf-sen expressed surprise that anyone would buy or sell anything but Idaho grown and Idaho manufactured beet sugar.

Idaho sugar is made under American standards of sanitation and wages to maintain American stand-rds of living and to offer complete protection to the consumer. The minimum wage levels for" agricultural workers in the beet field, set by the Department off Agriculture, will enable a worker to earn from five to ten dollars per day as compared for comparable labor in the Philippines of as low as 29 cents per day. President Manuel Quezon of thai Philippine Islands is endeavoring, to secure legislation that will increase wages for agricultural laborers in the Philippine sugar plantations to 50 cents per day though Philippine producers are objecting to such "high wages" because they contend such wages would destroy the Philippine sugar-industry. Less than 25 per cent of the sugar used in the United States i produced by American beet sugar farmers. This industry is one of the most important Industries in Idaho.

By buying Idaho sugar, consumers not only get the very finest quality sugar made in the world from beets grown by Idaho farmers and refined in Idaho factories by Idaho-workmen, but thep benefit by the fact that companies pay an average of approximately $25.00 ant acre in taxes to state and federal governments. Besides, 135.00 aa acre is paid in transportation, charges by the companies to benefit thousands of Idaho railroad employes. Furthermore, it is pointed out, every acre planted to Idaho sugar beets removes from the market aa acre of other major American agricultural commodities of which. America has a surplus. Idaho's sugar is unsurpassed in quality and is made In modern efficient factories.

Farmers grow the beets from which the sugar i made. Last year was a record-breaking growing season, and Idaho farmers produced 1,122,000 tons of sugar beets as against 651,000 tons produced the previous year. Showine the importance of the crop to the state, last year, Idaho led the nation in per acre yield of sugar beets. Idaho took first honors ith 15.8 tons per acre. Utah was second with 14.6.

The national average yield last year was 12.5 tons per acre compared with tons in 1937. Over sixteen million dollars ($16,000,000) yearly is returned by the sugar beet crop in the state and thousands of farmers, workmen and factory workers find employment because of the industry-The crops are grown along the upper and lower Snake river and are amorg the finest products of this fertile region. The farmers and workmen put the money received from harvesting the beet yield into circulation in their communitioneR stimulating business in all lines. Merchants have come to depend on the sugar beet crop for business success. Big plants requiring hundreds of workmen are operated by the Amalgamated Sugar company at Twin Falls, Rupert and Burley.

At Blackfoot, Shelley, Idaho Falls and Sugar City, the Utah-Idaho Sugar company operates large plants. The refinery at Preston is operated by the Franklin County Sugar company.
