LET EVERY ONE PULL
FOR THE SUGAR
BEET FACTORY

Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Armstrong re-
turned last night from the eastern
part of the county, where they talked
with the farmers about raising Deets.
They visited Bayfield,, Grommet and
Allison and met with great success.
They left this morning for Mancoi
and Cortez, where they have arranged
for meetings with farmers, who will
be asked to sign contracts to pli 1t as
many acres as they feel like.
1t has already been figured out that
there is great profit to the farmer
in raising sugar beets. In fact there
are few crops which can be raised
that will pay as well. The farmer is
not benefited merely by what he
makes on his crops, but his lands are
enhanced In value in consequence OF
the sugar beet industry. In the north
ern part of the state lands which sold
for from $25 to $50 an acre before
the advent of sugar factories are now
selling for from $500 to $500. What
the industry has done for other places
1t will do for Durango.
A sugar factory would add 500 men
to the payroll, which would be a
great item to the business interests.
Every business, every enterprise in
town would be benefited. either di-
rectly or indirectly This is why
business men should be interested in
the matter.
A sugar beet factory will help Du-
range, 1t will help the merchant, it
will help every business man, it will
help the real estate man, it will help
the farmer. it will help almost every
body.
There remain 100 acres TO sub
scribe for and those who have land
available can help along by signing
up for a few acres themselves and
encouraging others to do the same.
