There is an- other flourishing agricultural empire out where the west be- gins that has been known to suffer from the vagaries of the weather. Capricious as nature can be, the Manitoba Sugar Company has chalked up some amazing and gratifying figures in the millions of pounds of beet sugar it manufactures each year, in its Fort Garry plant. This is situated not too far from the heart of Winnipeg's business section. According to J. S. McDiar- mid Jr., secretary and sales manager for this firm that can rightfully take a good deal of credit for diversifying the dedi- cated wheat farmer's crop pat- tern, the 1963 sugar beet crop produced several records. A- mong them, growers under con- tract to the company in that year, seeded 29,578 acres, 1.859 acres more than the previous record set in 1961. While a contract assures the company a supply of beets for the factory it also assures the grower a supply of tested seed and fertilizer plus the guidance and advice from experienced agricultural and field staff sup- plied by the company. This un- doubtedly accounts for these interesting statistics: In 1940. 1,169 farmers contracted to cultivate 19,968 acres, a little over 17 acres per farmer. In 1963, 780 growers contracted to seed 31,000 acres averaging 40 acres per farmer. This is a business that must not only watch the weather barometer with bated breath during the growing season but the financial barometer as well, for the merest fluctuation in the price of sugar could catch the company holding the bag. Canadian Production The history of beet sugar production reads like an adven- ture story, even involving Nap- oleon and the needs of his armies that 'marched on their stomachs'. It is interesting to note that the first Canadian beet sugar processing plant was built in Wallaceburg, Ontario, in 1902. There are six sugar (Continued on Page 5) (Continued from Page One) Chiniquy St, in which she has already taken up residence, and at cottage on Howard St. which has been occupied by the owner, Mr. Logan (City of London Treasurer) and his family.
