BUSINESS MEMS BEET SUGAR AssO-
CIATION.

Tho committee appointed by the Bu-
siness Men's Beet Sugar Association
met last night in the directors room OF
the Colorado State bank, and steps were
taken to push matters vigorously. Every
night will be devoted to the work until
plans have been perfected and are in op-
Grafton which will insure the planting
OF the required acreage beyond perad-
venture.
The people must be brought here and
that quickly. Subscribers who think
that they can plant twenty acres and
stop at that, may be mistaken. The
labor pledged to them may not continue
the entire season, and therefore great
effort must be made to secure outside
help, 80 that such contingencies may be
met A common fund can alone do this
and to this end the committee has elect
ed to collet at once tho assessment OF
S5 per member voted at the mass meet
ing. The advertising matter must be
distributed at once, IA vast amount has
already been sent out) and plans perfect
ed for the reception OF new comers.
The organization Of an incorporated
company was projected by Judge Marsh,
he, as special committee having learn
ed that sany subscribers were desirious
OF being saved the work attendent upon
the securing Of individual tracts of land
and the overseeing of those who may
have undertaken to plant q certain
amount Of land for them. The idea is,
to have the company, as such, secure
large tract Of land, employ an expert
enced grower OF bests as superintendent
and either contract for the raising OF
the beets entirely or the work in detail
whichever may best suit the conditions
which may be presented. In other
words. the company will proceed to
grow bsets and not waste any time
about il. Many members Of the asso
citation, in order to make assurance
doubly sure, have agreed to join the
company as we'll as planting OF twen-
ty acres does not release them from
liability to plant more. Individual ef-
fort is not to cease because OF the organ
iztion OF the company. Both are necess-
ary. Committee meetings will be held
every night until the problem is solved.
Whom conclusion is reached hearty
corporation is expected from all sub
scribers. There is no time for talk now.
We are "enlisted for the campaign" and
we will certainly make success OF it,
1t seems necessary that the breaking
Of ground should commence at once and
that irrespective Of the non-arrival OF
Of tfos whom we expect to
care for, and harvest the crop
Of beets. The cost of the plowing and
leaveling can be deducted from the sale
OF the beets in the field, and the grower
will be only to glad too have the grou nd
prepared for him and the work thus
paid for. By the time that late comers
reach us it may be late for breaking the
ground. and many people who have fine
land and water. recognize this and will
commence blowing by contract. regard
less of the fact that they have not &C.
cured the farmer who will complete the
work Put your land in proper shape
and the crop will be harvested beyond q
doubt.
The map showing the location of all
land upon which settlers will be located
