Now is sugar beet time at all the
eastern Colorado points. The pco-
pie are rolling in money realized
from the sale of the sugar be-ts.
Prosperity is theirs, and it only
serves to bring home to us the fact
that a beet sugar factory is not
only feasible. but is one of the
best things to add TO the wealth of
the San Luis valley. Our country
is naturally adopted for the
abundant growth of sugar beets
and tests have proven the fact
that we can beat the world ON
quantity and quality. We shall
have more To say concerniu- su-
gar beets in the course OF tine next
