SUGAR FACTORY PROGRESS,

From the Rocky Ford Enterprise.
The reports from the beet fields are
encouraging, the weather being favor
able for, the rapid growth Of the
plants.
AT the works structural steel and
machinery, Is arriving daily and the
reports from the eastern manufacto-
ries which are supplying material, is
favorable to the early receipt VI much
heavier shipments. 81
Robt. T. Oxnartl, vice pres. Of the
American Beet Sugar company and
H. c. Howe. general manager, have
been here several davs inspecting the
company's property and the Rocky
Ford country generally.
Friday special Santa Fe coach was
run out on the Sugar company's
switch to the grounds. 1t contained
"a party Of Santa F,e ofiicials including
R. J. Parker, division supt.; NJ. A.
Martin. foreman Of bridges and build
ing: j. W. Dean, trainmaster. A gen.
eral survey was made OF the immense
works under construction.
Weeds have value. No weeds, no
cultivation. 1t is the weeds that
keeps lis at work in the crops.
: The stirring Of the soil after every
rain helps TO retain the moisture and
no one knows the amount OF good that
is thereby accomplished.
Cultivate, cultivate, and do it from
the day of planting. Do it before
planting. Do 1t as early as the ground
will work and do it all summer long
but don't cultivate too deep.
Raising beets is like fishing. The
man who sits still and tends strictly
to fishing. keeps his rod and reel and
bait in good condition, gets something
better than the proverbial fisherman's
luck, while the fellow who fishes with
q knotted line, broken pole and
half baited hook, and who shifts his
position every few moments, declares
there are no fish In the sea. Persever-
ance is always winner, whether In
growing beets or In other. lines Of bus
inesS or pleasure.
