In presenting the contract, W. D.
Ijppit, general manager of the com
pany, said:
"Ve believe this is a very favor
ably contract for the growers. The
sliding scale is now generally recog
n:zed as a fair method of fixing beet
prices. The growers participate in
the benefits of high prices and good
sugar content.
We have every reasonable ground
for the belief that the future holds
promise of recovery for the sugar
industry. But no prophecy of fu
ture sugar prices is needed because
the sliding scale automatically ad
mits the grower into his share ot
high suctar prices, and the initial pay
' nicnt of $4 50 leaves the grower un
affected by declines which would
prove very detrimental to the com
pany. Consideration for Grower.
"The company has a deep sense of
(its responsibility to the farmers and
the beet growing communities. We
realize that in the service of trans
forming the raw farm product into a
salable food staple we are actually a
part of the agricultural system in
these districts. We are anxious to
continue performing this service.
For that reason we arc offering the
best contract warranted by present
and prospective conditions in the
sugar market and the industry. Un
der this. contract the grpwer of the
raw material is given every, consid
eration. We have a keen apprecia
tion that his prosperity is essential
to the industry's preservation and
continued existence.
"What we can afford to pay for
beets this coming season depends
upon the amount of sugar in the
beets sliced and the price netted for
the sugar, less the necessary ex
penses of manufacturing. These
latter are still considerable above
- prewar levels.
" "The initial payment is fixed at
the highest possible point. The
company still assumes a risk in case
of another season of unexpectedly
low prices and sugar conteat.
"The part plaved by the cash pay
ment for beets in relieving the ag
ricultural situation in the last two
years is not to be forgotten. A nor
mal acreage of beets this coming sea
son will mean the continuation of
these benefits. At the same time a
normal acreage is necessary to avoid
possible curtailed operations of fac
tories, a contingency the company
will not even consider unless forced
to do so by conditions beyond its
control."
