Stopped Temporarily.

The farmers have been requested
by the Greeley Sugar company not to
haul any beets this week. The COM
pany had at the beginning of the
week 5000 tons OF beets in the sheds
and on account Of the extremely hot
weather there was danger Of the
enormous bulk heating and thus
spoillng. Word was sent the farmers
all over the district last Saturday to
that effect. The order will not, how
ever. work any particular hardship on
the farmers. as the uigging and top
ping of beets can still go forward.
A sufficient number of cars at all Of
the loading places has been promised,
so that by next Monday the farmers
can devote all their energies to haul
ing the beets either to the factory or
to the cars. Should there not be
enough cars on hand at all times af.
ter that to take care of the crop the
company has promised that the farm
ers may unload at the switch and
they will be given credit for the work
just the same as though the beets
had been unloaded on cars, and the
company will then load them at their
own expense when cars are procured.
