The plain truth is that many

not success, do not know anything
about what has been accomplished
during the past 20 years. They are
judging Of the success of dry farming
by number of persons they know

is fine way indeed to reach a con
clusion.

BEETS In PLENTY
The Greeley Factory Has 1880
Acres Signed.


The Greeley sugar factory came
very near biting off too big a chunk
again in the acreage tor the l907-S
campaign. 1t was not intended to
sign up for more than 6, 500 acres OF
beets, but when all the contracts
that had been distributed among the
farmers for signatures came in it was
found last Thursday that the COM
pany had 1880 acres signed up for
the Greeley factory. Manager Gran
ger stated that there would be no
trouble in signing up an additional
1900 acres for this factory II the
beets could be handled.
At the Eaton and Windsor fac
tories practically nothing had been
done up to last Saturday, in the way
of signing up contracts, but the
company officials believe they will
have all the beets they can handle
next season, and are already making
preparations to avoid the trouble OF
the present campaign In the matter
Of handling the enormous crop.
Thousands Of tons of peets are spoil
ing for the company, on account OF
