Big Suirar Beet Crop Expected New Contract Call* for In creased Prices—Prospects ^ ere Never Brighter. gcottsbluff, Neb., March 20.—Proa pacta for the growth of the beet sugar Industry In tha Irrigated eectlona of western Nebraska were never brighter. For years there has been an an. r.ual wrangle between the Great Western Sugar company and the beet growers about the price to he paid for beets. That annual wrangle is a thing of the past. The beet contract for 1024 is satisfactory to company afid beet growers alike and* is the most advantageous ever obtained by the growers. It is better than the 1023 contract, under which the beet growers have already received $6.50 a ton, with another $1 p^r ton to be paid April 1. It is not unlikely that the beet growers will receive $9 a ton for their 1923 crop before the life of the contract expires, October 1. The contract for the 1924 crop is for $5.50 a ton on delivery and a sliding scale for additional payments per ton, con ditional upon the market price of sugar made from the beets. It is called a "50-50” contract, the farmers raising the beets, the sugar com pany making the sugar, and the two dividing the money equally when llie sugar is sold. The Nebraska beet acrenge this jear promises to tie the largest in the history of the Industry. A heavy blanket of sn ;w covers northwestern Nebraska, which means that the soil will be in excellent condition for spring plowing. It is especially wel come in the sand hills sections, where it means excellent grass for spring and summer grazing. i 4 Testimonial Sent Dr. Fliot by Nebraska Uuiversity By Associated Press.
