FARMERS OF DECATUR VICINITY Gentlemen: As we will make no personal canvass lor sugar b-- i <’« ntracts in the vicinity of Decatur, we lake Lins way ol exl -nding to you an invitation to come in and give us your contract at any time before March Ist. We will pay for beets hauled directly to the factory Idly cents per ton more than the regular contract. Last year we paid for factory haul beets $5.79 per ton, and as prospects ar now. the price of sugar will be high next fall and we predict a still higher price for beets. We wish you io consider the following statement of lads, which you can easily verify: The last monthly erop report of the 1. S. Department ol Agriculture gives the average corn yield in Indiana las! season at 38 bushels per acre, and its value at the December Ist prices as $19.38 per acre, it gives the yield of sugar beets at $98.00 per acre for the U. S. The average yield of beets for this factory was $54.32 per acre notwithstanding the very wet. unfavorable season. Hie average yield in territory that had good drainage was over $70.00 per acre. That the growing of sugar beets is more profitable than the ordinary crop is proven by the fact that acreage is increasing most in te/ritory where they have been growing the longest time. All the factories in Michigan and Ohio have their full acreage contracted and are refusing thousands additional offered. ’This Company has its full capacity, but is abandoning the least favorable territories and building up others. At the present time we are refusing hundreds of acres. Because of the added price which we pay for beets delivered at the factory, it costs us no more for beets from Marion, Delphos or other places fifty miles away where the freight is only fifty cents per ton. Therefore. it makes very little difference to us whether the farmers in the vicinity of Decatur grow beets or not. We would, however, like io see the Decatur farmers getting more of the benefits, especially the indirect benefit upon the soil. Much of the land around Decatur has become soggy and sour from continuous grain cropping. A crop rotation with sugar beets or any other root crop would do much to correct that condition and make better yields of all crops. Beets take less fertility from the soil than any of the grain crops, yet we often hear knockers say they are hard on the land. The statement was made quite freely here that “beets would sour land because they would takeUhe sugar out.” Before any one repeats that he would do well to consult any chemist, and see what a fool he is making of himself. Last year we paid out to farmers $380,0(10, and if a larger portion of it had gone to Decatur farmers, this whole community would have been benefited thereby. Not later than March Ist. we will close our books to taking additional contracts and we therefore urge any one who is contemplating putting out sugar beets to come in and sign contracts or call us on the telephone and one of us will go out and discus;; such matters as condition of soil, preparation, labor, etc. To the farmers of Monroe, we offer to install one of the new type elevator dumps if they will give us not less than 300 acres of good bona fide contracts. This installation would cost over $3,000 and $15.00 per day to operate, so we cannot i afford to put it in for a small acreage. > AVe mean business, but will have to know before March Ist what you will do. Now. gentlemen, it has bceji a hard struggle, with much unpleasantness and disappointment to overcome the adverse conditions of the first two years and ths failure of fulfillment of the promises that were made to us as inducement to locating the factory here. In the struggle for acreage our greatest handicap has been the knockers from Decatur and vicinity, but we have won out in the fight and now are firmly established and the better business men have learned to realize that the Sugar Factory is an institution to be proud of and a benefit to them. Don't you think it is time for all of you to drop your hammers and raise a flag, and look facts and figures squdrely in the face, and let prejudices ’ sluff off Again will say that we will not ask you for your contracts. but will be pleased if you offer them to us and will treat you in a fair and impartial manner. Yours ruly, HOLLAND-ST. LOHS SUGAR COMPANY.
