Abstract
The co-operative experiments in sugar beet culture for the past season were confined to the farmers of Sanpete and Sevier counties. They were carried on in conjunction with an organization formed by the citizens of the two counties and known as the Sanpete-Sevier Sugar Company. This association was organized at a delegate convention, held at Gunnison Feb. 17, 1899, which was composed of the representatives from all of the principal settlements in the two counties. Bishop Christian A. Madsen, the chief promoter of the movement was chosen president of the company, Mr. C. A. Short secretary, and Mr. Thomas Kearnes, treasurer. The general plan of this organization is a systematic one and it has proven very effective in its results. The management and direction of the experiment were vested in a central board, with headquarters at Gunnison, a centrally located town. Auxiliary organizations, called sugar beet clubs, were formed at the following twenty-one principal towns of the two counties: Annabella, Aurora, Axtell, Central, Center Field, Elsinore, Fairview, Fayette, Glenwood, Gunnison, Joseph City, Manti, Mayfield, Monroe, Redmond, Richfield, Salina, Sigurd, Spring City, Sterling and Vermillion.
