The foregoing t'onlraets show h total ol' :tG52il nereis ol!
irrigated land, wliich the soil and beet experts of thu
company have pronounced first-class, soil, suitable for the
culture of heels.
The company deems this acreage, all of which has been
examined and approved by its Field Superintendents, Mr.
Mramwell and Mr. Story, an excellent showing, consider
ing the limited time used to obtain the acreage.
The campaign has developed the fact that there exists
in the Wogue l(ivcr valley a real demand for a sugar fac
tory, and the further gratifying fact that a large uuniltor
of people already reside in the valley who have grown
sugar boots in other places and who now welcome the op
portunity to make more money hero and share in the pros
perity that the sugar industry brings to other districts
whore sugar beets are raised. It is needless to add that
the knowledge of those expereineed growers will bo of
groat value to their neighbors.
When the OlflW ION-UTAH SUtlAIJ COMPANY
came to this valley, with the establishment of the sugar in
dustry in view, and announced its willingness to build a
suifa r factory, it did so on condition that land-owners and
farmers would sign sugar-boot contracts in the form used
and required in other sugar districts, which would assure
the Sugar Company that oOOO acres of suitable land would
be planted and used for five veal's for the growing of sugar
loots.
As was stated by Mr. Nibley and Mr. Mramwoll in their
first announcement, the establishment of the sugar indus
try in a new locality moans, and its requirements demand,
that it have a financial backing of approximately
1,000,000. Fortunately the OWFdON-rTAll SIM1AK
COMPANY has such backing, and the men interested in
it have required of the officers of the company that actual,
existing contracts be obtained from land owners and
'rmoi,s that they will plant and grow oOOO acres of sugar
boots upon such lands as will bo approved by the Com
pany's Field Superintendents, both of whom are poisons
acceptable to the parties furnishing the money.
Mr. Mramwoll and Mr. Story now report' to the com
pany that they have already approved the lands herein
before listed and have advised the company that it is their
opinion that if the campaign of signing up' acreage is con
tinued for a short time the entire fiOOO acres of good lands
can be signed up. This opinion is based on the knowledge
Mint enough good, suitable land is obtainable if the owners
or renters will agree to grow sugar boots on part of their
holdings, ami that there now exists a demand for the sugar
factory, as expressed by hundreds of farmers who desire
io make their laud more productive by planting and grow
ing beets and thus having a sure crop with a cash market
waiting for it.
The officers of the Sugar Company have, therefore,
decided that the showing made justifies the continuance.
Of the campaign vigorously, to obtain the whole r0()0 arrets.
The Company has been compelled to reject a few contracts
obtained by the Heel Committees, because the land con
tracted was not suitable for the profitable cultivation of
beets, and lias rejected other contracts because the condi
tions imposed were either beyond the control of the Sugar
Company or because they were otherwise objectionable for
business' reasons.

The directors of the Company authorized its officers
and agents to sign and approve contracts on a prescribed
form so that all contracts Avith the Company will be uni
form and without preference to any. No other contracts
have been or will be approve.il.
The management of the Company fools that all grow
ers vil I appreciate that the SugAr Company is not in a
position to guarantee, nor does it desire to depend upon
the construction of railroads, ditches or auto truck roads;
nor docs it desire to go intojho nlito-transfor business, or
other things, that other people, will attend to.
The business of the OlfrXlON-CTAU SIKIAK COM
PANY is the manufacture of sugar and to assist the
sugar-boot growers to plant, grow and market sugar beets.
The Company has boon compelled to return to the Beet
Committees quite a number of contracts aggregating a
considerable acreage because these contracts were condi
tional on the location of the factory in a certain locality,
otherwise the contracts to become null and void. A num
ber of localities naturally desire the factory to bo located
in their town or city. Medford, 'Polo, (Inwits 1'ass and
CJold Hill have boon active bidders for it. The list of eon
tracts above enumerated shows that more than twenty
localities have signed acreage, and it also appears that
the acreage of every one of those localities is necessary to
the establishment of the industry in the valley. The
obtaining of the additional acreage required should not
be, and will not he, accepted contingent upon the estab
lishment of the factory in any particular town or city.
Ileforo the campaign was started the Company decided
that it would pay a uniform price to the grower for his
boots, irrespective of locality, and in the contract form
furnished by the Company the price is the same, F. O. li.
at any railroad station between Ashland and (Meudale,
inclusive, as will be paid for delivery at the factory. The
contracts that have boon signed show that factory Jlolivor
ies will not bo over lo'; of the crop, no matter where the
factory is located. The geographical location and physical
nature of the valley and its present state of development
make the success of the enterprise dependent on the exist
ing railroads for transportation.
The final location of the factory site is a matter en
tirely in the hands of those who are now furnishing and
will furnish the money for its construction and operation,
and the Company feels that after duo consideration of the
rights of all concerned that the grower is not going to try
to exact of the Company the right to decide the site of the
factory, especially when the grower's profit will In the
same, whether it is located in Medford, 'Polo, (told Hill,
(I rants Pass or elsewhere.
As above stated, the building of the sugar factory
depends on obtaining contracts for the required acreage.
If the acreage is obtained by February 1st, 191(5, the Com
pany will have ample time for carrying out its plans and
can readily have the factory completed by September I,
191(5, so as to handle the 19U5 crop of boots. Hut it is the
farmer and grower who needs the time and wipits to know
before February. Therefore, in fairness to the farmers
and growers who have already executed contracts, the bal
ance of i he required acreage should be signed up at once.
Time loM now is an important matter to the grower, as
he wants to make his plans now for 191(i.
The undersigned take this oct asioii to evtend the
::,ofi2 Vi
thanks'of the parties interested in the OlfKliON-UTAll
SUGAI COMPANY, to the Commercial clubs and press
of the Ixogue Piver valley for the splendid work done in
the sugar boot campaign. Many business men have left
their places of business and devoted many hours and days
Us getting contracts signed, and the press has voluntarily
given much of its space and thoughtful attention to a
campaign of education on the subject of beet culture.
The people who want to grow beets should appreciate
the unselfish public spirit that has been exhibited toward
the farmers by the business men of the valley. The grower
will be the first party benefited by the establishment of the
sugar industry, the Sugar Coinp'any the second, and gen
eral business then comes in for its share.
The publicity and work of the Commercial clubs has
already actually created the first demand for Poguo Piver
lands that has existed for nearly three years. Sugar boots
will bo the moans of bringing over twenty cities and towns
of Southern Oregon into closer business relations than
anything that has ever happened. Look at the list of
growers and their home towns for proof of this statement.
Besides this, every locality in the valley will be able to get
as big a share as it wants of the money the sugar business
will bring in, simply by growing more'sugar beets.
The people interest eel in the Company do not fcel'liko
asking the Commercial clubs to go to any more expense to
obtain the balance of the acreage. So it is now squarely
up to the pei-sons who desire to grow boots and the Sugar
Company to finish the work by obtaining contracts for the
remaining acreage required.
J'iVery person who wants to raise boots and those who
have already signed contracts can help the Company and
themselves to obtain the required .acreage by first looking
his own lands over and increasing his or her own acre
age, and after doing that, sign up another contract for the
additional acreage and bring or send it to the Companv's
office in Medford or Grants Pass. And after you have
decided what is the most acres of boots you can grow your
self, then call on your neighbor and persuade him to grow
some boots. Toll him it will help him and also help von,
not only by the profit from the boots, but also by the 'per
manent increase in the value of your farms.
