"The price of sugar is New Year. lagging far behind. It is at least $1.50 a bag below the price it should be selling at under provisions of the sugar act. A $150 Increase In the price of sugar would result in a boost of more than $2.50 a ton on beets.

TWO SECTIONS—TEN PAGES I Processing Expected to Be Done By Company In Spring The 50,000 tons of sugar beets still remaining in the ground In the Nyssa-Nampa district of the Amalgamated Sugar company be cause of adverse weather conditions cannot be harvested this winter, but will probably be processed in the spring, according to Jared Lewis of Nyssa, district manager of the sugar company. "We feel sure the beets can be processed in the spring", Mr. Lewis said. "There can be no guarantee as to whether they will be all right for processing, but we feel they will and if they are we will open a plant to process them. It is possible that there will be a break in the weather so the beets can be dug before we close our plants for the season.” Although this is the first year In the history of the local plant that the harvest has not been completed before the advent of bad winter weather, some companies during the last two or three years have been forced to halt harvesting operations because of weather conditions and have processed the beets in the spring. So, it is known that beets will go through the winter in the ground and be suitable for processing in the spring. The weather is said to be entirely responsible for failure of local farm er to harvest all of the beets. More precipitation fell during October and November this year than in any Oc tober and November on record. Dur ing that time measurable precipita tion »'ell on 31 days.

Malheur Growers Get More Awards Additional awards have been cred ited to Malheur county corn grow ers, according to final summary of the recent Oregon state corn show held at C’anby.
