growers Of high percentage beets
not getting the higher price they
would under the graduated scale.
MIR. Weitzer urged the company's
chief officers to conceed the S. fiat
rate as an evidence Of friendly feel
ing, and he hoped that all growers
would try to produce high percent
age beets that the company might
have no reason to go back to the
graduated price.
The principal demand of the grow
ers has been conceded, but some
minor features of the contract the
company refused to change. The
i.em of tare remains as heretofore,
Mr.. Weitzer assuring the committee
that every effort would be made TO
make the taring satisfactory, but
that the manner must be decided by
the company. The 80 cents per ton
for SLIDING and so per cent of the
pulp the company did not grant.
The new contracts will provide
that beets containing not less than
IL per cent. of sugar and not less
than so per cent. purity will be con
tracted for at So per ton. Lower
grade, diseased and frozen beets
will be rejected.
Mr.. Weitzer says that the Rocky
Ford growers now have offered them
much more desirable contract than
is being made with the northern fac
tories. There the price is So per
ton for beets showing not less than
15 per cent of sugar contention
those having from IL to Is percent.
the price is only $3.50. Also that a
L,ghe, price is charged by the north
ern factories for seed.
A meeting of the Beet Growers
association will be held at the Odd
Fellows hall tomorrow Saturday
afternoon at two o'clock TO hear the
report of the committee and take &C
tion thereon.-Rocky Ford Enter

Wednesday morning the Beet
Growers association committee,
consisting of Will Morris on,
G E..Bryant, NJ. D. L. Haight, j..
H Maxey, l. L. Welgand, L. Melton
and j. Z. Mollowney, called on Man
ager Weitzer of the American Beet
Sugar Co, to receive an answer to
their recent demand for an increas
ed price and other concessions. The
meeting was frictionless and the
committee came away with the as
surance that their main contention,
the $500. fiat rate, would be granted.
Mr.. Weitzer in granting this rate
is that the company does not really
give an increase in price over that
proposed in the new contract, esti-
mating that the amended price
would give the grower an average of
50 per ton, the average sugar per
centages being the same as during
the first three years of the beet cul-
ture in the valley. He claims that
the company will pay no more for
the beet crop under the flat rate, but
that the money will be more evenly
distributed among the growers, the

kets were left over" After dinner,
music and good cheer prevailed un-
till "chore time" when wishing him
63 returns of the day, they departed
for home. AS night drew her sable
curtain, and the pastor had settled
down in his study for the evening,
knock at the door aroused him to the
fact that another party of friends
were in possession of the house and
