ENOUGH BEET SUGAR
FOR AMERICAN USE.
The British Believe the United States
Can Easily Produce It.

Illinois, for the development of the
beet, as in any of the countries of
Europe or Asia.
THE success attending that cultiva-
tion of sugar beet in this district has
proved that it may be made a profit
able and successful investment. A
large factory has been built at Rocky
Ford, Colorado which cost 100000
pounds. The experts in charge have
become thoroughly convinced that this
valley (Arkansas Valley, Colorado,) is
the ideal sugar producer, thanks to
its equable climate, ample supply of
water for irrigation, cheap fuel and
limestone. and an unlimited extent of
valuable land for beet culture. 1t is
expected that some company will erect
one or more factories in addition to
the one at Rocky Ford, one to be built
east, and the other west of Rocky
Ford.
