less find 1t more profitable there than in
Utah. even
THE factory at De Beuue. which is a
settlement five miles above Grand juno
ton, is far ahead of any you have here.
They are paying now S525 ton for heets
and 90 Is per cent more than that for all
beets that run above 16 per cent purity.

strated that the best in the country can

quantity raised this year.
Thus far The Utahans have rot gone
into beet raising, having been in the
ting out railroad ties, which is almost
