We members of the field staff of the Canada
and Dominion Sugar Company had hoped to visit each
of you personally during the 1948 contract season. Un
fortunately, time is short and we find it impossible to
make so many calls. Nevertheless, there are several
things which we feel should be drawn to your attention
and that is why I am writing this letter.
We began to sign up acreage through this dist
rict a little more than a week ago. We‘have been sur
prised ourselves at the wonderful response which we
have received. In the short time we have been on the
job, more than 2,000 individual contracts have been
signed:—some for as many as a hundred acres. Parti
cularly interesting is the fact that most of those con
tracting have planted beets before . . . and that over
half of them have grown beets on their farm consis
tently for at least ten years.
We think that it is significant that so many of
our old growers are planning good acreages again.
We’ve asked many of them why they save space for
beets year after year and we feel their answers reflect
the general faith which farmers of Southwestern On
tario have in their sugar beet crop.
They remind us that there has never been a
complete failure in sugar beets,—that the crop has
been grown here for more than forty years and that
the market has always been a ready one, that beets
have always been accepted on delivery.
These farmers find that beets fit well into good
crop rotation here in Southwestern Ontario. It’s inter
esting to note that many follow rotation programs we
have laid down for them. We personally visit the farm,
have the soil tested and map out a program for build
ing up fertility and output, that lead to good profits
over a long period. We are pleased to find the farmers
making such good use of this service which is free of
charge.
Many of these steady contractors are enthusias
tic about the steps that have been taken in recent
years to save labor in beet growing’. The new loaders
and harvesters are particularly popular and spring
mechanization has attracted the interest of , a good
many of our best growers.
Another feature of the labor situation which
points to better beet acreage this year is our success
ful immigration scheme. Hundreds of skilled European
beet workers have come to Southwestern Ontario in
the last year and a good many more will be here be
fore thinning and blocking is underway. Like those
new Canadians who came here in the twenties, these
workers see sugar beets as an important part of their
future.
Our growers are praising the 1948 contract. If
sugar extraction is up to the five year average, beets
should pay Southwestern Ontario farmers splendid re

turns this year, and the farmer who uses his tops
gets an extra “payment” in excellent cattlefeed,
average crop in 1948 should pay the farmer well
$130.00 and leaves him $100.00 to the acre after
merit of his hand labor bill.
In addition to the many established farmers
are planning beet crops this year, we have signed
as the crop needing the least cash outlay. All a man
needs is his land. 'Che company delivers the seed and
the fertilizer and doesn’t ask for a penny in payment
until beets are delivered and paid for. The company
has a loan plan for buying implements and there are
no interest charges the first year. The company also
advances money for hand labor on the crop.
And finally, almost all of those contracting this
year tell us how pleased they were with last year’s
beet crop. Yon will recall the cold, wet Spring, the
widespread floods, the growing season shortened by
earlv frost. Losses were heavy in many other crops,
yet beets stood up to the worst season on record and
tonnage and extraction of sugar were good. When ear
ly Fall frosts nipped%many other crops, beets contin
ued to thrive. The frost just forces the sugar out of
the leaves into the root and helps the plant mature.
One of our growers describes his beet crop as
“farm insurance” and that’s the way we like to think
of the contracts wo are offering you this season.
You will want to cash in on this sure-fire,
so please call me at once or get. in touch with the
panv’s offices in Chatham or Wallaceburg, fPhone
