Petrie, Mgr (A Times-Advocate subscriber from the West writes about the, growing sugar beet in­ dustry in Province of Alberta) (.Recently housewives have been concerned over a possible short­ age of, sugar, though it was known that there was an abund­ ant supply in Cuba. So they started laying in supplies on a large scale, and . this hoarding boosted the price. All this was, no doubt, due to a far-off war which nearer. .Soon to the own country. Manitoba, Quebec and Ontario have sugar fac­ tories. But Alberta .plants have been producing more than half of the total output of beet sugar in Canada. Over 100,000,000 pounds of sugar have been made in a single year. Some 1,400 farmers are now growing beets in Southern Al­ berta. They have acreage con­ tract’ with the company and get prior claims on by-products such as pulp, molasses and beet tops which give valuable feed to the livestock, thus building up a profitable commercial feeding in­ dustry in areas near tories. Over 100,0'00 head of cattle and ldmbs are fattened with these products. Feed lots are built near the plants and winter operations are pushed, with the finished stock starting to move to market .soon after the New Year. Farmers are en­ joying good returns from these operations. Sugar content of beets varies, but runs up as high as 18 per cent, and growers have been re­ ceiving about $15.00 per ton for their beets. Beet yields have in­ creased slowly over the years. The value of the beet industry to the country has been tremend­ ous. Farmers on irrigated land have an assured cash crop that completes their rotation require­ ments and brings high returns. The sugar .beet grower has a busy spring, summer and fall season. Beets are seeded in April and May followed by thin­ ning, hoes and irrigating. Thin­ ning is done by hand, though progress is being made toward mechanical thinning. The furrow’ method of irrigating is used generally, although numbers of growers now have the new sprinkler units that ssrinkle the field like rain through a series of aluminum pipes. Going back to the original sugar beets we find that like the mangold they were selection and from the sea beet, perennial on muddy sea shores. Sugar was the beet and the comercial was built by Avhai’d., Napoleon encouraged and panded the new industry, was glad to find a home-grown source of supply because of the tight blockade clamped on by the British fleet. During World War II Canada turned to the lowly sugar beet for much of its refined sugar, when tropical supplies dwindled. Southern Alberta has three sugar factories today, and other units are visualized as irrigation expands, and market for the re­ fined sugar grows. None of the present plants was the pioneer in Alberta, It was established by Jesse Knight, Utah capitalist, who with his sons, Ray and Will, came , to Alberta at the turn of the cen­ tury to look over the country. The big land boom was on with the coming of irrigation, the Knights were impressed with the cheap land, fertile soil and developing new country. Seeing the need for an industry insuring the farmers a cash crop Jessie Knight decided to build a sugar factory at the new settle­ ment of Raymond, named after his son Ray. The plant was es­ tablished and operated number of years. Meanwhile, the wheat developed, and farmers from the growing of sugar beets with its demand for much hard hand labour to wheat. So • the Knight :Sugar Company finally closed the factory and moved .the machinery to the States. But the seeds of beet produc­ tion had been sown, and after World War I an agitation start­ ed to renew the industry. The Utah-Idaho Sugar 'Company of Salt Lake City, largely owned by the Mormon Church, was ap­ proached, and the company fin­ ally agreed to move a plant from the Northwest States to Raymond, provided the farmers would beets to make it pay. So the plant was .established in 19 25, and was a success start. It had a yearly output of 30,000,000 pounds of .sugar. In 19'3 6 the second built at Picture Butte, the ownership changed American Company to adlan Sugar Refining (Rogers) of Vancouver, years ago the company started an expansion program with Taber selected for the third fac­ tory. Taber, the “Town that Beets Built’’, is booming as a result of sugar development and is rapid­ ly becoming a little city with a variety of other industries be­ sides the new factory which will be opened this fall is costing $5,000‘,000. The extension of irrigation in Southern Alberta spell stability and growth for the beet indus­ try, which represents $10,000,- 000 in all its manifold ramifica­ tions. Before the war, most of the sugar beet seed was imported from Germany. The war out off all this source of supply, and now Canada is growing enough needs. Some is Alberta but the EDGEWOOD Mrs, M.
