Beet Acreage
Boost Asked
Restoration of the Oregon: sugar
beet acreage to the 1942. level is
being sought by R: G. Larson," dis
trict manager of tne Amalgamated
Sugar company with- offices at
Nyssa, Malheur county, who spent
Monday In Salem "conferring with
state officials. - - : -
i Larson was accompanied to Sa
lem ' by : William ' Hogg; "vice-presi
dent of the sugar rbeet" association
which has . approximately 1500
members, - mostly,: in .the " Nyssa
section. Larson' said tile national
sugar beet acreage had decreased
from approximately 1,000,000 acres
in 1942 to 600,00 1 acres in' 1943,
while . the . Oregon ,1 acreage had
been reduced from 12,000 acres in
1942 to 8000 acres in 1943.
The visitors told state officials
there was no apparent reason for
a reduction of the sugar beet acre
age in Oregon because labor and
other facilities would be ample
to handle a larger crop than will
be produced this season. Mexicans
are being used largely in the Mal
heur county beet fields at the pre
sent time- -, :
The cut in acreage was attribut
ed to the government's delay In
outlining its sugar program and
the low ceiling price for sugar
when compared with many" other
agricultural ctops. : " . - J"
Officials here were asked to use
their -influence in having the su
gar beet acreage increased to the
1942 leveL . ." '
