1 have been raising sugar
beets before the sugar act
was enacted. 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

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.
