First three checks received for payment to farmers in Western
beet sugar districts are shown nere just after they were handed
to the lucky trio of Utah farmers who were gratified at receiving
the initial payments.
Under the Sugar A c t of 1937, American
farmers will receive approximately $20,000,000.00 in benefit checks
provided in the government legislation for the growing of sugar
beets to be processed for pure, granulated sugar.
The farmers declare sugar beet growing is one of their best
crops and one which they couldn't get along without on western
farms. The large sums of money will be put back into circulation for
the stimulation of business by most of the farmers who will spend
it for new implements, farm improvements, and for necessities to
continue tilling fertile soil. The money acts as a business stimulus
nationally, for it goes into not only the immediate community but to
distant manufacturing centers. The sugar beet farmers are now
receiving more than fifty cents of the beet sugar dollar. W ith the
benefit payments and returns from the sugar companies, sugar beers
are one of the most favorable agricultural crops to qrow.
