The fanners were going broke as well as were the sugar companies. The fanners were losing their farms. The sugar act was passed and things began to change. The sugar act was the most perfect legislation ever en acted. We produced sugar beets for years at a reasonable price. It assured us of paying our land taxes and our indebtedness each year. About five years ago the price of sugar was held down to where the fanners could not break even. Then came the big shortage which caused prices to go so high it was out of reason. There should have been controls placed on sugar im ports and the price of sugar should have been allowed to raise with the prices of farm labor, machinery and pro ducts so the farmer could continue to raise sugar beets at a fair profit. Sugar is one of the few things we cannot overpro duce. In Easter Oregon and the Treasure Valley ot Idaho we have been raising around 60 thousand acres of sugar beets. Some growers think that the sugar company is the cause of cheap sugar beets, but they do not understand the sugar industry. The cause Webb Family Has Reunion Mr. and Mrs. Dick Mc Curry hosted a potluck dinner Friday evening for the Webb family reunion. Those attend ing were Mr. and Mrs. Ray Webb, Vale, Oregon and their children, Mrs. Jo Bre- is the loss of the sugar act. It was one of the saddest losses for our country. We have some fanners hauling potatoes for cattle feed for nothing. There is an overabundance of wheat. We know sugar users have been wanting cheap sugar for years. They do not care where it comes from. We notice that candy companies doubled the price of bars and cut the size when the price of sugar was high. Now the price of sugar is low they have not made any adjust ments. The same with the soda pop industry. Everything we buy is put together with organized labor. We hope and pray something will be done about the loss of this act. We hope our repre sentatives in Washington will have enough wisdom to realize if we lose our sugar industry it will be a sad day for American agriculture and the American consumer. When a country loses its agriculture it has lost its base for its economy. I have been farming 55 years. I've seen many farms sold on the court house steps for taxes. I hope history does not repeat itself. Let us not have to depend on foreign countries for our sugar. We can see the problems arising from our dependence on foreign oil. After the sugar industry goes down the drain it will be too late, so let's wise up and do something quick. When we know something will wort and has worked for years, why discard it? What we need now is a re-enactment of the original sugar act. Harold S. Hart, Ontario shears, Parma; Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth (Lucille) Findling.
