GREAT SUGAR CROP.
The Factories Throughout Colorado
Start 10 Grinding in a Few days
and All Records VIII
Probably BE Brok-
en- This Year.

In few days the Grand Junction
sugar factory and the several other
factories in the state will open their
campaign, campaign that promises
to be the most successful the factor
les of Colorado have ever had.
The beet crop in this section or
in the territory of the Grand juno
ton factory will be the largest ever
harvested and the management of
the factory are highly elated over
the outlook. Similar reports come
from other sections of the state.
With an increased acreage, con
servatively estimated at 23,4O4 acres
four new reduction factories and soil
conditions more favorable than ever
before Colorado's beet sugar produc-
ton for the season of 19O6-07 viii
eclipse that of any previous year in
the history of this industry.
On Monday next, according to a
lengthy announcement in yesterdays
Denver News. the sugar factories
over the state will open and COM
mence the slicing of beets that have
been pouring in from the various
fields for over week. and this sea
sons campaign will be on.
During the season 1866 Colorado
led all the states in beet sugar pro-
duetion with California second,
Michigan. third; and Utah fourth.
The total acreage harvested in Colo
RADIO during that season was S7.196
acres; in Michigan 20, 255; Californ-
ia, 3.5S7 and Utah 27.74S. This sea-
son the officials of the Colorado sugar
companies estimate the acreage to be
harvested at 10000, showing re-
markable increase. This year the
sugar beet factories expect to slice
1855, 100 tons of beets, as against
SS7 .655 sliced last season. The esti
mated production of sugar in tons of
1000 pounds for 19O6-7 is 1,54I,----
CTS as compared with 81, $50 produc
ed last year.
During the present year new fac
tories have been erected at Brush
and Fort Morgan in the northern part
of the state. and at Swink and at
Garden City City. Kansas in the Ar
kansas valley. The Garden City fac
tory is practically on the state line.
The position that Colorado holds
in the beet sugar industry of Ameri-
ca is perhaps better shown in the
fact that of a total of SO refineries
in the United States. II are located
in Colorado, or nearly one-third of
them all.
California and Michigan have been
Colorado's keenest rivals for the lead
in the beet sugar league" but the
Cdlumbine state will undoubtedly
keep a large margin ahead of these
states for some time to come, owing
to the new acreage that is being sown
to beets each year.
The beet growers all over the state
reached an agreement with the fac
tories some months ago whereby they
receive an increase in price per ton
for their produce and this acted as an
incentive for new growers to enter
the field, which is one of the prin-
cipal reasons for this years splendid
acreage increase.

At the national convention of game
wardens held in St. Paul last week
Col. Joseph 81. Acklen, game warden
of Tennessee, delivered an extremely
sensible address. Mr.. Acklen believes
that the sale of game should be per-
mitted, and that dealers in game
should be required to pay license
fee for that privilege. On that SUBJ
ject he said: ';In closing the market
you raise specter that will give you
trouble. You say to the citizen if you
don't shoot game you shall not eat it..
Can you reconcile that with the prop
osition that the game OF the state be-
longs to all the. people? Such law,
which gives a monopoly. to the few,
will do more harm than all the at
tempts at game preservation can re-
pair. About five per cent of the peo-
pie are sportsmen. Shall you say to
the other IS per cent you shall eat no
game. Is this due recognition of the
rights of all in the game, or is it class
legislation?''

sensibly remarks: "The concensus of

Judge Quinn of Fairmont, while in
st. Paul, casually dropped into the
old capitol, where the gamewardens
were at that time in session. The
judge was asked to address the con-
vention and complied. He told them,
among other things, that the game
laws should give the courts the power
of using more discretion-that they
were entirely too stringent then
embraced the opportunity afforded to
drive home this unexpected but telling
shot: "When executive officers cease
to listen to political influence and en-
force the law on one and all alike then
may effective work be done and not
before" It is hardly expected that
Judge Quinn: will be called upon to
address such a gathering again. s

is the common story of borrowing
