AnArican Beet Sugar Company Will
Not Contract Beets Here
This SCnsSn,

In an editorial published in this
paper last week the statement was
made that in all probability the
American Beet Sugar Company would
net work the Ju!esburg territory i0:
contracts this season. AT the time
that editorial was written we knew
whereof We spoke. but we were not at
liberty u divulge our source Of infoI M
alton. However. at this time we are
able to furnish proof of the correctness
OF our former statement in the form OF
letter received last Sunday morning
by +. Petersen, senior member of the
firm OF p. Petersen Il Son, of Jules
burg. The letter is from +. Ewe!.
agricultural superintendent of the
Grand Island sugar factory: it is self
explanatory and is published herewith
in full:
Grand Island, Nebraska.
January %, 1905.
Mr.. f. Petersen,
Julesburg, Colo.
Dear Sir-We received = letter from
you Il few days ago asking il we would
be in that territory again this season
for contracts. am sorry to say that
the freight rate from Juleshurg To
Grand Island is SO great that we can
not afford to 90 SO far away for our
heets. therefore will not be in yonr
nrp his rpp,jpp season
Iuurs truly,
f. EWel,
Agric'l Supt.
In view OF the fact that the Ameri
can Sugar company will not bid for
contracts in this territory tins season,
we belieye.that it would be il good
plan for the farmers OF Sedswick
county to consider the proposition
made by the Colorado sugar interests
to contract beets at $4.,5 per ton. 1t
seems probable now that these are the
only people who will work this terri
tory this season and il our people grow
heets at all they must Of necessity con-
tract them TO the Havemeyer peo-
pie.
In this connection We would suggest
that thuse who sign contracts sign
them for ONE YEAR ONLY. We
are under no obligations to assist the
people Of Sterling in securing Il sugar
factory by agreeing to furnish beets
to a factory at that place for term of
years. Besides, the prospect is excel
lent that Julcsburg will secure fac
tory sooner than Sterling. Within a
year Sedgwick county will be much
better fixed for irrigation than Logan
county, and there will then be nothing
t. prevent the growing of sugar beets
upon large scale in the comfy, and
the consequent building of sugar
factory.
We, therefore. believe that it would
be Il good plan for rs many people as
possible in SedgwicN county to grow
heets this season, and to ship them to
whatever factory the Havemeyer peu-
pie may direct, but do not tie your
selves ap in contracts for more than
one year. The more beets raised here
this year the better the chances will
be for securing factory next year.
And next year, with the addition of a
large number of farmers to grow beetS.
we can so to the factory people and
guarantee them any reasonable acre
age necessary to secure factory.
