Beets Receive SLC Fifty Cent Increase Predicted
A special dispatch from Tour Heath, Franklin County Sugar Co. manager now in Washington, D. C., cites a 1944 beet price averaging 12.50 per ton. The increase over 1943 and 1942 hinges on congressional action on the Seagall bill and subsidies. The War Food Administration will guarantee farmers 3 per ton over 1942 prices, with total returns near 12.50 per ton for beets of average quality, and the wool clip will be bought at current support prices through WFA.
