Henry Hissman, from his prize acre
of ground, got fifty tons and 800
pounds of beets, which tested PA
per cent. sugar, netting him $4OO for
the acre. This acre of beets will
make 81, 700 pounds Of refined sugar.
Not only did his prize acre produce
such unheard OF results, but he had
two additional acres which did as
we'll. Figures like these from one
acre of ground seem incredible, but
it is true nevertheless. All marveled
at the tonnage from D. V. Burrel's
prize acre, which was forty one tons
and $50 pounds and made 11,510
pounds of sugar. Mr.. Hissman will
no doubt capture the 5000 prize of
fered for the best results, as it is not
probable that his acre will be beaten.
The remarkable results in beet
culture in this valley is attracting the
attention of sugar beet people all
over the world. Some tests as high
as 32 per cent sugar have been made
and this, in the opinion of sugar beet
experts and those connected with
the sugar industry far exceed any,

SUGAR TRUST Is BEATEN.
Beet Sugar Industry Scores q Nota-
BILE Victory In tho Fight.

The sugar trust is beaten.
Word was received in Denver from
Omaha today that will bring joy to
the lkssrts of those who have been
defending the sugar beet.
The trust has raised its price from
81 % to $4.65 per hundredweight.
That means that the effort to force
beet sugar out of the market by re-
ducing rates has signally failed and
Colorado wins.
The American Refining company
has announced that it will send no
more sugar into this territory at the
price of $4.25 per hundredweight.
The new price is $4 So.
Word has been received from bro
kers representing the American Re-
iining company that probably six or
eight cars of sugar would be deliver
ed at Omaha at the former reduced
price to make it possible for local
jobbers to give an allotment to each
of their customers at the low price OF
last week. There are orders for
probable 100000 sacks of sugar in
Omaha at this time. Some of the
retailers have not received one pound
of these orders. As soon as the new
price was received clerks began to
make list of the orders on hand,
taking the name of the retailers, but
making no record of the amount or
dered, as it was decided that it would
be impossible to make an allotment
on the basis of quantity, but that
each dealer, be his order large or
small, would receive an equal amount.
The brokers announce that it will
probably be the first of next week
before sugar can be delivered at
S465, and this estimate is used in
taking orders at the new price.
While the low price of American
Refining company stock prevails
there is little doing in the sugar OF
other refiners, hut where the demand
is imperative National company
sugar is being sold at $3.50, the
price which prevailed before the re-
duction. The American Beet COM
pany is making no attempt at deliv-
cries, all of its product being stored.
Among local jobbers the increase
in the price of sugar is looked upon
as confession on the part of the
American Refining company that it
has been defeated in its object and
that it has despaired of involving
the beet sugar people in the struggle.
