Sugar Beet Caravan

The Yarwood ranch near Hunting-
don, where thirty acres of sugar beets
are growing, was recently visited by a
caravan of some ddézen cars, touring
Whateom county, visiting most of the
larger fields.

The sugar beet caravan largely con-
sisted of beet growers of the What-
eom county, but included Mr, W. H.
Wattis, general manager of the Utah-
Idaho Sugar company of Salt Lake,

The Timber Industries Council of British Columbia, in a series of articles
now running in our pages, are publishing some remarkable facts and figures
concerning the great importance of the forest industries of the province. It
is stated that our lumbermen contribute a third of the revenue ot British
Columbia; that they directly employ one-fourth of the
Columbia and that they are résponsible for a third of the industrial payroll
of the province. Further, that the combined forest industries represent an
annual purchasing power of not less than $100,000,000, or something like
$200 per capita of the whole population,

With facts such as these staring Us in the face some loyal interest in the
problems of this vast industrial force becomes a ‘ duty of our citizens. The
goodwill and support of the people of British Columbia is after all the main
security upon which our lumbermen haye freely invested a sum “exceeding two
hundred milllion dollars. If that security depreciates into indifference the

vast investment becomes imperilled and disaster faces both parties to the
contract. The lumber industry is faced with a decided increase in timber
Royalties, which becomes operative next year. Claiming that such charges

will work a great hardship upon the industry, the lumbermen through their

Council are publishing data in an effort to arouse sympathetic public inter-
est in their affairs.

Our neighbors over the river are to be congratulated over their splen-

¥ did team, which reflects eredit to the Fraser Valley as well as to the home

town. And good sport often creates good business. Hammond Cedars are
now ‘‘on the map’’ with plenty of valuable newspaper publicity all over the
west. Manager Hartnell of the Hammond mill, who is behind the successful
team, appears to us as a shrewd business man as well as a good sportsman,
We instinctively doff our hat to constructive enterprise, especially when
