Bean Growers
Do You Know that this Year Bean
Germination is Lower than Usual
• Last year we treated with seed disinfectant a
limited quantity of seed beans. The results were so
outstanding that we want to make this service this
season available to as many of our patrons as pos
sible. WE SOLICIT YOUR CO-OPERATION BY
CONTACTING OUR NEAREST ELEVATOR NOW.
- thus giving us time to arrange for adequate supplies
of treated registered and certified seed.
We will not treat seed unless ordered, as sur
plus treated seed cannot be used for other purposes.
Play safe, and secure your requirements of re
liable treated seed early, thus ensuring a good stand
of disease free beans which will mature evenly into
a high yielding crop of quality beans.
Limited quantities of Registered and Certified
seed still available. Your present seed can be ex
changed at market price. Ask for particulars about
our contracts for Cranberry beans, more money with
less weather risk at harvesting.
REMEMBER,—GERMINATION IS LOW,
DEPENDABLE SEED HAS NO SUBSTITUTE

1948 SUGAR BEET CONTRACTS
Returns Were Outstanding in 1947
Prospects For 1948 Are Excellent
Sugar content of Ontario-grown beets has averaged 17.7% in the past five years. At
current sugar prices the company will pay growers $13.21 per ton for factory deliv
ered beets of 17.7% sugar content. This price is 67c more per ton than the actual
average paid by the company in 1947.
On the basis of a 16% sugar beet—the 19 48 contract guarantees you 81c more than
would be paid under the 50/50 contract w hich has been in general use throughout the
Eastern United States.
The Labor Picture Is Bright
Hundreds of skilled beet workers have arrived in Ontario in the past year and many
more will have reached the district before thinning is underway.
Plenty of mechanical equipment is on hand to ease and to speed planting, cultivation
and harvesting of your 1948 sugar beet crop.
