BEET SUGAR PLANT
AT DURANGO.

Mancos Times:
II is highly probable that In t,he
course of the next few months an
active step will be taken TO put In a
beet sugar plant at Durango. at the
approximate cost OF 81 300, 900. What
this Will mean to Montezuma county
can hardly be overestlmated. In q
recent talk with Mr. Armstrong, state
secretary OF the State Realty associa.
tion. ne made the following statement
to us. which in substance Is:
That mn active step has been taken
TO establish beet sugar plant In Du.
range to take care of the beet crop
in Montezuma and La Plata counties.
Colo, and San Juan county, N. NJ.
No papers have as yet been drawn
up. but the plan nas been heartily en-
dorsed
To show that this means much to
the people Of Montezuma county, we
will make the following statements.
First. The average yield all over
the state per acre of sugar beets IL
nineteen tons.
Second. The company proposes to
give not less than IS per ton for sugar
beets delivered At the railroad.
Third. Since tho farmers Of Mon
tezuma county know nothing Of how
TO successfully cultivate sugar bosts
this company proposes to send people
into our county who know how to
raise the sugar beet. and who will
furnish them seed, plant. tend and dig
them for 500 per acre. All the farm
ers will have to do Is to haul them to
market.
Fourth. They will guarantee S6
per ton II the farmers will obligate
themselves to plant n certain amount
for term OF three years.
At these figures the average year
will bring to the farmers SOS per acre
or $75 net. counting his labor. For
his expense of hauling to market we
will allow him half. which will clear
him. after being amply paid for his
work, $3.50 per acre.
At present there Is not much land
in the county. II any. but that can be
had for less than S37.5O per acre.
Then II our farmers can produce an
article that will make their land pro
duce 100 per cent. on the money In
vested does It not stand the farmers
In hand to do their hest to aid In rnis
enterprise?
Then, fellow farmers, let US stand
together and should petition In the
near future he circulated asking that
You sign the amount you will have
planted for the maintenance OF this
enterprise. you subscribe liberaliy and
keep your pledge.
or course. We would like to have
had this plant closer. but Durango Is
a more convenient place for the three
| counties, besides the water supply is
much more limited here than at Dri-
| range.
