SUGAR BEET FREIGHT RATE REDUCTION
Probably the mo*t heartening bit of news to be received
by residents of the Milk River Valley came last week with the
announcement that freight rates on sugar beets from the
Milk River Valley to the processing plant at Billings had been
reduced 52 cents per ton by the Great Northern Railway.
Slated to go into effect on Sept. 26, 1960, this reduction in
•freight rates will be in effect for this year's crop of sugar
beets and will mean an approximate saving to growers in
^»is area of some $35,000.00. This money saved will be re
gained right here in the Valley, will eventually be circulated
here, and should have a real beneficial affect on the econ
omy of the Milk liver Valley, as well as a much-needed shot
in the arm for the sugar beet industry.
Many people reading of the announcement last week,
hearing it on the radio, or just hearing it on the street cor
ner, may have thought that it just happened as a matter of
course, that the Great Northern Railway just up and granted
the reduction, and that was all there was to it.
However, just the opposite of this is true. Securing this
freight rate reduction took an enormous amount of work,
ond when there is work to be done, somebody has to do it.
we will attempt to explain how a few did the work that
will benefit the many.
Last year was an extremely tough season for the sugar
beet industry in this area. Growers figured they would have
to stand 52 cents per ton freight rates on their beets; they
had been assured there would be no raise in 1959, even
though a raise had been in the offing for some three years.
Then just before harvest a 77 cent per ton freight raise was
instigated, all to be borne by the growers, and to add to this
woe, the valley experienced that most miserable harvest sea
son in history. A large percentage of the sugar beets were
frozen in and lost. It looked like the sugar beet industry in
the Milk River Valley was tottering-
The best solution to keep the industry sound appeared to
be to secure a reduction in the amount of freight growers
were forced to pay. V/ork on this project started last fall
immediately after the raise in rates, and continued unceas
ingly unfil last week when it was successfully culminated
with the announcement of a reduction of 52 cents per ton on
sugar beet freight rates to the growers in the Milk River Vai
ley-
The program to secure this reduced freight rate really
started early last fall at a meeting of the Chinook Business
men's Association. Present were officials of the Northern
fleet Growers Association and Great Western Sugar Com
pany officials. It was agreed that something must be done
if the sugar beet industry was to be saved in this area. And
something was done. From that time on until last week, the
North Montana Beet Growers Association and the Chinook
Businessmen's Association worked untiringly to secure this
freight reduction and preserve a vital industry in the Milk
River Valley. Much of the credit for the success of the pro
ject should go to these two organizations; also a great deal
of credit and thanks should go to the Great Northern Rail
way for their splendid cooperation and their down-to-earth
understanding of the local problem.
• Great Northern officials were called in for a meeting with
the Chinook Businessmen's Association and officials of the
North Montana Beet Growers Association, and there the ball
otarted rolling. From then on a series of meetings were held,
in Helena, two at the Blaine County court house and one in
St. Paul, Minn. Letters had to be written, plans made for all
these meetings, cost production plans drawn up to show the
drastic need for this reduction. It just took an enormous
amount of work. And the majority of this work fell on the
shoulders of two men, Worth Lawson, president of the North
Montana Beet Growers Association, and Hugo Schellin,
chairman of the Chinook Businessmen's Association commit
tee on freight rates. Too much praise cannot be given these
two men or the organizations they represent. They did a
Wemendout job, and they did it well and successfully. Funds
for travel and supplies for this project were supplied unstint
ingly by the North Montana Beet Growers Association and
the Chinook Businessmen's Association, and Mr- Lawson and
Mr. Schellin worked untiringly for months on the project,
completely donating their time and efforts. They received
no remuneration whatever.
>4ow that this project has been successfully terminated,
we would like to borrow a little phraseology that goes back
to our Navy days during World War 11. When we had com
pleted a particularly important but hazardous and trying
mission, our skipper would report, "Mission Completed. Our
greatest reward would be a missive from the Admiral in
charge, "Well Done." This was tantamount to receiving the
• Navy Cross. We knew then we had discharged our duties in
a satisfactory and honorable manner and our efforts were
appreciated.
Now we feel that the North Montana Beet Growers Associ
ation and the Chinook Businessmen's Association can report
’ to the people of the Milk River Valley, "Mission Completed."
Abd we also feel that every sugar beet grower in the Milk
• River Valley, every businessman in the area, and every citi
zen who feels that the successful termination of this freight
rate project will be a stimulation to the area, owes to the
North Montana Beet Growers Association and the Chinook
Businessmen's Association and their two ambassadors,
WoKh Lawson and Hugo Schellin, both of whom did a tre
• mendous job, a very sincere ond heartfelt "Well Done." —
