Peace has been restored for the time being but the burden of Venezuelan public obligations has been enormously increased. and there is no prospect of speedy Tightening of the burden thus created.
 In this situation the allied govern themselves in the collection of Vene- zuelan debts find a fair opportunity for playing long range international poli- tics.

MCLEAN BROS.

promises, for it has not reached the
stage of absolute certainty yet, but
it promises very favorable-and that
is this: 1t seems that in Colorado
the sugar factories will be able to do
double work. The beets that are
raised in more humid regions, it has
been found, cannot be kept more than
80 days. After that they are likely
either to wither or to sour, and be.
come worthless for sugar making.
So that in planning a factory the
campaign as it is called, is placed at
80 or 100 days. If we build 900
ton factory, that is, factory to
handle 200 tons of beets day, we
expect it to handle 100 times 1000
tons or 100000 tons Of beets. 1t
has been found that here in Colorado,
in the Arkansas valley, anyway, the
farmers can place their beets in pits
or silos in the field and cover them
up from the air, and they keep this
way until late in February without
material loss in value. Now that
means that factory which in the
east would be able to handle 100, 900
tons of beets in 100 days in Colorado
can handle 100000 tons of beets in
200 days-thst the same investment
will do exactly twice as much work.
After a while 1 believe that the
farmer will get onto these conditions.
He knows what his beets sell for, and
what sugar is worth-these facts
cannot be covered up. If the fac
tory on the same investment can do
exactly double the work. 1 do not
believe that the farmer will be 80
obtuse as not to require little more
for his beets, and the value of his
land will be very much enhanced.
"These ideal conditions which l
have spoken of in Colorado are not

shared by all other states. Utah has
had factory for 10 years, at Lehi,
but have it on the authority Of that
factory that 1t cannot do anything at
all to compete with Colorado. In
California some. years they have an
enormous crop, but again some years
they have drouth and total fail
ure. And the crop per acre never
equals the Colorado crop. This was
shown in the competition Of the
Orange Judd Farmer, in which Colo.
RADIO stood far, far ahead Of any
other state. Possibly the same con-
ditions as those in Colorado may pre-.
vail in parts Of Wyoming, but not in
Texas or in New Mexico"

They built machine filters for thor
