SUGAR TRUST is ACTIVE.
Will Spend Millions to Control the
Colorado Field.

Denver. April S.-A News special
! from Fort Collins says:
There is no longer any doubt that
the sugar trust has entered the beet
sugar industry. 1t now controls the
Pcnoyer interests and in fact all the
Michigan beet sugar factories that are
paying properties. The factory at Lehi.
Utah, has also passed into its hands.
For some months past, experts in the
employ of the Havcmeyers have been
quietly making thorough and sys-
! tematic investigation of the Colorado
fields. They reported that the Colo
| rado soil and climate was the best in
the world for sugar beets and that in
dependent companies were starting
factories all over the state. The Have
meyers We're afraid that few years
might develop very dangerous compe-
tition, and decided that in order to
Colorado factories.
They have already completed ar
rangements for controlling interest in
the Eaton beet sugar factory, and an
offer has been made by them for the
factory which is now being built at
Greeley.
to sell. The Havemeyers said that if
the Greeley people absolutely refused
to sell. then Greeley would have two
factories, as they would build another
one there.
Negotiations are now in progress for
the factory at Loveland The owners
of the Loveland factory want to sell
for 81 100000 cash. The Havemeyers
Sr1b
in 81 100000 more, or double the capa-
city Of the plant. This offer is now
being considered
At the meeting of the stockholders Of
the proposed Fort Collins sugar fac
tory this afternoon Mr.. Penoyer stated
that it was case of sell or fight, that
the sugar trust had thoroughly invest
igated the beet sugar business and had
decided TO engage in the industry. He
stated that it would build by the side
of every independent sugar factory a
duplicate factory, and would crush all
competition.
Mr.. Penoyer said further that all the
Havemeyers asked was that 5000
| acres of beets be guaranteed them and
to allow them one director; that the
people here could invest in the sugar
factory trust as already arranged for
by the company. Those interested in
the factory considered the matter fully
and voted unanimously 10 accept the
proposition.
The Havemcyers will commence the
erection of the factory just as soon rs
the site is selected. The Baker place
east of town and the Berry place north
of town are the only places under con-
sideration. Unless a conclusion is
reached very soon, the factory will be
built on the Barry place. as the option
on the Baker farm expires in short
| time. The business men and local cap
italists who We're interested in the fac
tory are jublant over the new deal

rieties. Shipments of Bubach. Ten
nessee Prolific and several other va
rieties Will not be made until about
ten days later.
There lis every indication now of a
full crop, and as the weather has been
favorable for the past few weeks the
vines are healthy looking. and will
doubtless yield fine fruit.
Blidgeville will be this season as it
was last season, the heaviest shipping
point on the Peninsula. One day last
season the shipmena amounted to thir-
ty-two cars of berries, and as the acre
age of berries is greater and the fruit
only of the largest and best varieties,
this years shipments are expected
to exceed those of last year. Most OF
the fruit is sold to buyers at the sta
ton, who come here from all parts of
the country and several local buyers.
Early Vegetables From Laurel
Laurel, May 5.-Strawberries are
beginning to be shipped from this sta
ton in large quantities now. Yester-
day more than a carload was sent
away. 1t will be almost two weeks be-
fore the crop will be at its height, and
then it will not be near so large as a
few years ago, when Laurel was the
largest strawberry shipping point on
the Peninsula. The farmers have be-
gun to give more attention to the rails
ing of vegetables than small fruits.
The prospect for the crop of strawber-
ries was never better, however, than
this year.
The peach trees are literally covered
with the small fruit. In many in
stances the farmers are thinning them
out as they are already weighing down
the trees to such an extent that in a
short while the limbs would be broken
off. The prospect for blackberries is
also all that could be desired, and the
yield of apples and pears now bids
fair to rival all former years.
A great many sweet potato sprouts
are being set out, and it is, probable
that more of these vegetables, which
grow to such proportions in the Sus-
sex sands. which imparts a flavor not
equallod by any other section in the
Union. will be raised than ever before.
This is practically a new industry in
this section. until few years ago the
farmers only planting enough for
their own consumption, but on account
of the high prices received for the po-
tatoes last year. many of the most
prominent farmers are planting large
lots.

MUCH TRACK UNUSED
Both Local Companies Have Rails Over
Which Cars Never Run

Attention has been called to the fact
that both the Wilmington City and
Peoples Railway companies have
tracks in several streets which they
ARE not using. The city company has
rails in Monroe street, from Fourth to
Eighth streets, over which cars never
have been run, and the Peoples Com
pany has put tracks in Orange street.
from Sixth to Fourteenth streets. over
which cars never have passed. Both
lines may be used in the future. but
there is no prospect OF such being
done soon.
