BEET SUGAR IACTo,
1IxS.

COLORADO BEET SUGAR IACTo-
RIES.
Frank Ncvaugh Talks Of New Sugar
Factories for Colorado.
Frank McVaugh. who, it will be
remembered was one of the prom
| inent men connected with the
building of the Rocky Ford Beet
factory, speaks we'll of the Rocky
Ford country to Denver reporter.
He says: II am not surprised to
hear that those experts from
Detroit are amazed at the sugar
possibilities in Colorado. I hardly
believed it myself until I learned
it. I look for the time in a very
few years when there will be not
only FIVE factories in this state,
but anywhere from thirty to forty.
1t is question, however, entirely
of water. l am in close touch
with all that is doing and l know
that the sites for beet farming are
limited. 1t takes about $4,000
acres of land under cultivation to
make success of a mill of, say,
600 tons capacity. The reason for
this is that the crops should be
rotated.
Il can name only FIVE points in
this state where there is now pop
ulation and water sufficient to in
sure this to the invester. These
places are Sterling, Holly, Ala
mosa, Windsor and Fort Collins,
have every reason to believe that
very shortly mills will be started
at Holly, Fort Collins and Windsor.
AT the first named place the
Oxnards have secured control, and
I understand will do something
very soon.
What NJ. McVaugh says re-
garding the Colorado sugar beet is
interesting. The beet root sinks
straight down and the sugar ac-
cumulates around til e green leaves
at the top. When it is ripe this
saccharine matter sinks into the
root. If the rains come late and
the beet starts growing again the
sugar comes up and is likely to be
lost. 1t is this lack of rain and
the sunshine that gives the Colo
RADIO beet so great percentage in
sugar and of such purity.
Down at Rocky Ford" con.
tinued Mr.. Mcvaugh, 1 have
seen a patch Of five acres that
grew twenty tons an acre, and all
the beets averaged Eve pounds
each. This ran lS per cent sugar.
That is simply marvellous, and it
is what is calling the attention of
capitalists to the country. The
profits are very large in this man
ufacture. In building a mill we
calculate the sugar end of the
plant at about the capacity of
treating the tonnage. At Rocky
Ford We figured about an average
of IA per cent sugar, and the 6rst
thing we knew We were swamped
at the sugar end of the house. The
beets had an average of about 18
per cent sugar and the plant had
to be enlarged at the end"
Mr.. McVaugh built the Rocky
Ford mill for the Oxnards, the
Loveland mill for John Campion
and other Colorado capitalists, and
the Greeley mill for E. H. Dyer
& Co. In 1893 he built the Oxnard
mill at Oxuard. Cal. which has .
capacity of 1000 tons q day. He
also has had experience in
Nebraska and other districta ha.

Greensboro's New Enterprise.

Greensboro, N. c., Special.-Busi-
ness organizations here last week took
action. which it is considered, will re-
move all doubt of location in Green's
boro Of a s1.O00O0O cotton mill which
Messrs. Moses & Caeser Cone have had
in mind for some time for either this
place or Roanoke Rapids. The action
taken by the organizations was to
formally invite Messrs. Cone to locate
the mill here. Resolutions were adop-
ted pledging the associations TO en-
deavor to cultivate throughout the
Country a sentiment in favor OF ex-
tending to corporations the same rights
and privileges accorded to individuals.
The proposed mill will be for the man
ufacture of colored goods. Options on
a large part OF the land necessary have
already been secured.

To Manufacture Denim.

Dispatches from Greensboro, n. c.,
during the week have stated that 'it
IS reported, though not confirmed, that
Messrs. Moses H. Cone and Caesar
Cone Of that city will build an i'm
mense cotton denim mill" However.
the fact that the plant will be erected
was definitely announced in the Manu-
facturers Record Of April & in accord
ance with Information submitted by
Mr.. Moses H. Cone. He wrote at the
time that he intended to build mill
Of 10000 spindles and 2,C00 looms for
the manufacture Of denims, but that
the location of the plant was yet In
doubt. It may be built at Greensboro.
but It is quite possible that Roanoke
Rapids, n. c., will be selected as the
location.

market is developing-the sudden turn

carrying new with them. 1t is said that
the near approach of the close of the sea-

tempt the cornering of the market, higher
prices resulting. There are not many old
potatoes left in the country. and corner
would not be hard to manipulate. while
there are some consumers who will not use
