1,000 ACRES TO SUGAR-BEETS
ANTICIPATED HERE THIS YEAR

A determined effort to foster the su-
gar-beet industry in this Valley is in-
uicated in the activity of the newly-
formed Canadian Sugar Beets, Ltd.,
which concern has men out canvassing
local farmers to put acreage in cultiva-
tion to beets this year. Mr. A. F. Hale
and other promoters of a proposed re:
tinery to be established in New West-
minster have made arrangements with
Utah-Idaho Sugar Beet Co. at Belling-
ham for this year’s crop, finding that
erection of a Canadian refinery is not
possible at present. A price of
per ton at the loading depot is offered,
plus any additioal returns which may
eventuate with a rise in sugar prices.
An advantageous price is offered on
the beet mash, an excellent dairy food,
to the grower.

Those active in making a canvass of
farmers are confident that a total of
1,000 acres can be signed up in this
valley.

The American company is glad to ob-
tain beets from this side, as their con-
tract acreage in Whatcom, Skagit and
Snohomish counties is barely sufficient
to warrant operation of their Belling-
ham refinery. Growers under contract
With this company recently issued a
public statement to the effect that they
had found beet-growing to be a profit-
able and satisfactory line of agricul-
ture,

ed themselves favorably upon it.
The Clerk was requested to secure le-
gal advice concerning responsibility in
event of an accident caused by a B.C.E.

Atangard hotel.
Acting-Clerk Pratt reported that he
had received no reply to his letter to

transfer license required by their truck
driver conveying furnishings from the
B.C.E. depot to the new hotel.
Accounts as follows were passed for
payment: FP. Gosling $9.20; W. Roberts
