An unreasonable rumor is being circu.
lated TINT the Rocky Ford factory is
working up bee.s from the Loveland
country thereby causing fewer orders for
delivery to the farmers OF the valley.
This report is both untrue and ridicu-
lous. The factory is working under
high pressure to rapidly dispose Of the
beets for which it has contracted in the
valley. When people hear reports OF
this character they should enquire at
headquarters rs to the facts and not aid
in circulating such wholly unfounded
rumor.

The sugar trusts price OF 81 cents for
sugar was OF brief duration. Their OBJ
ject was to sell only enough ut that price
to make it appear the market price.
This was done to hurt the beet sugar
makers who had sold their product for
future delivery at the market price. But
such disreputable tactics did not succeed,
and the below.cost price has been with
drawn. The fight OF the sugar trust
againot beet sugar is hopeless one.
The beet sugar industry has taken hold
OF too great an extent OF territory, and
the building Of factories is progressing
at too rapid rate to be downed by bluff.
The number Of people who are directly
or indirectly interested in the success of
beet sugar will have too much influence
in governmental affairs to allow the en-.
actment OF Legislation detrimental to it's
interests. On this subject the Denver
Times says: "The real interests OF the
people OF the United States demand that
the beet sugar industry shall succeed.
1t is no longer an experiment. 1t does
not need subsidies or other special favors.
1t asks only that it shall be treated de.
Gently by its older rival. The field OF the
United States is more than ample for it
and the cane sugar to exist and prosper
side by side. If the trust shall recog-
nize this and shall conclude to keep its
hands eff, the friends OF beet sugar will
let it alone. II, however, the trust shall
continue its nefarious cutthroat policy, it
will find the masses OF the people arrayed
in solid phalanx against it. or battle
such as would then follow, there could
be only one outcome-the annihilation of
the sugar trust"
