A letter from Early Mason Agricultural Manager at Northern Sugar Corporation defends a guaranteed beet contract paying $5.60 per ton plus sugar-based premiums and attacks a 50-50 beets-sugar share contract used elsewhere. He argues Iowa farmers should prefer local terms and previews 1922 records, urging farmers to compare contracts. The missive, printed in Titania Iowa, contrasts contracts and cites 1922 payments and potential yields. It ends with supporting notes from Bob Fisher thanking Titania for congratulations on a college achievement.
