reached between the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company and the government of
the contests over entries on coal lands
in the southern part of the state, in

attention of the office for several
months. The fuel company under the
new management has agreed to pay 500
an acre. the government price for coal
lands. instead of $3.50 an acre. which
is paid for timber and stone land. The
land in litigation was taken up by the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company un-

been quietly acquired through II num-
Iber of years. The exact amount in

anywhere from $50 to $3.50 an acre in

more money to the farmer in raising
potatoes than in producing beets the
farmers will not continue to supply the
factories Should the farmers quit
raising beets the factories will necessa-
rily either have to raise them them
selves or close plants representing mil
lions of dollars. The managers of the
factories have convinced the farmers
that the greatest profit comes through
