High Sugar Beets at Sugar City.

Mr.. Windfelder, OF the National
Sugar Manufacturing company ex-
..ressed to us his great satisfaction at
the high sugar content of beets being
delivered to the factory since harvest
begun, up to date. While some
coarse Leets are being delivered, the
majority have a sugar content OF
from i6 e.cent to I8 percent, i'll few
instances more, and the average OF
the slices in the factory has been, to
date, y percent, with &c ercent pur-
ity.
We believe that nowhere else in
Colorado. at this time, have the beets
.naturcd as we'll as at Sugar City.
Il is true we are not ye. out OF the
woods, and the rain and snow and
f.oat for the last week or ten days
may reduce this sugar content and
urity; in fact. will do so undoubt
elly. to some extent
Mr.. Windfeldcr further states that
this is due to the careful attention
and efforts of the agricultural de-
partment in the first place. punching
and thinning early. and then cult

again, with a minimum supply Of
