THE BEET GROWERS
Meet in Annual Confab and Talk Over the
Troubles of Beet Growing.

1t was ? o'clock. instead OF I
o'clock, when the Beet Growers
meeting got down to business on
Saturday. President Latson explain
ed that he had misunderstood the
hour of meeting.
Without any preliminary spiel as
president he called upon Secretary
Ryan to read the minutes OF the last
annual meeting.
The minutes were approved as
read. and President Latson called up
on ex-President Ebbert to address
the meeting on the present beet sit
uation in the state of Colorado.
Mr.. Ebbert said this was uneN-
pectcd, and he was not loaded to talk.
He had been up in Northern Colo
RADIO in the last few days, with 4
view TO learning something on the
beet situation. and il was that trip
to which tho president had reference
in asking him to address the meet
ing. though he had gone purely on
his own account He was at Fort
Collins at the annual meeting and
heard what was said. IL was a
hummer meeting. Little Johnsiown
sent s, growers. and some wives. The
growers marched through the streets
OF Collins carrying banners. The
procession was FIVE blocks long. Mr..
Ebbcrt reviewed briefly the situation
in the northern end Of the state:
Mr.. Morey. representing the fac
tory interests in the north had dodg-
ed making contract with the grow
ers from time to time since last
June. until just recently when in re-
sponsc TO resolutions passed by the
growers they had finally como for
ward with a contract: flat rate oi
S. and not more than one-third oi
the crop to be sliced. or fiat rate oi
SI.-s and no siloinI to be done by
the grower. He had not learned u
this proposition had been accepted.
Mr.. Norton opened up the debate
on the local situation with the COM
plain, there had been fcfusais TO take
bee,s at the wei;xcr dump when
there were no cars.
Nobody in the meeting had dump
ed bceis on the ground but several
reported waiting. some for hours and
others all day. for chance to unload.
There had been actual rcfusals 10
weigh becss by the salesman. some
reported.
The secretary brought forward the
"bi'l Of complaints" flied last year
and read the clause in the requests
granted by the A. Il. S. Co.. agreeing
to the dumpin. OF beess on the

of dumping a part of the printed
contact for next year.
In answer to Mr.. Vandenberg, Mr..
Wietzer said the delay at the factory
dump was caused by so many farm
crs getting in with their loads at the
same hours OF the day, and he would
be glad to have the farmers tell the
Co. how to remedy that. The same
delays occurred in farmers taking
away pulp. He would be glad to fa-
cilitatc the work of the farmer as
far as possible.
Mr.. Vandcnberg admitted he had
not been at the factory dump himself.
but his haulcrs had reported their
delays to him.
Mr.. Wictzcr said on the question
of dump fees. that there was still n
considerable shortage on account of
dump building. and the Co. had de-
cided !, was fair to continue the fees
until the dumps were paid for.
a grower suggested that each
dump should have its own cost ac-
count and be freed from fees when
paid for.
Mr.. WictZcr said that was n mat
ter the growers must bring before
not determine il himself. n present
cd j, would no doubt he considered.
The meeting thanked Mr.. Wie,zcr.
and also the Holly Co. for their
courteSies shown the meeting.
Mr.. Manny's proposition for n per-
mancn; Grievance Committee was
then put in form of motion. hut the
motion was killed by the open de-
bate Of the meeting.
Mr.. HarSin said something should
he done to protect iaborcrs agains;
the dishones, labor contractors who
were beating the laborefs ou: of their
earnings.
a contractor present said this was
, matter the Association should look
after. There were men who took
contracts so cheap that they showed
that they never intended TO nay their
hands. Regular and homes, contract.
ors ought TO be In some way rccog-
niycd by the Association as such.
n motion 70 havo tho dumping on the

A. II. s. Co. contract for 100, was

Sheriff George Barr fetires from Office

a single stain on his official eseuteheon so
he went Up 10 Swink last Friday and
closed Up the gambling houses which had
been floufishing like a green bay tree
there for about two weeks previous.
Sheriff Barr entertained the dark sus-
pieion that some enthusiastic democrat
might try to lay the blame Of open gam
bling upon republican administration af-
ter he had retired. and Just TO forestall
anything Of that kind notified the sure

ground when cars were not ready.
1t was pointed out that the grow
ers contracts did not contain this
proviso. though it had been granted
by the Co.
Mr.. Vandenberg said there were
other dumps besides the Weitzer
dump where there were long waits.
Some dumping on the ground had
been done at his dump.
Mr.. Vandenberg also complained
OF injustice in the matter of reckon
ing tarc. There was something very
irregular and unsatisfactory about it
and he cited several instances in
point.
The meeting returned. however. to
question of delays in dumping and
further complaints OF delays were
filed.
One speaker would rather have pay
for his waiting team than to dump
on the ground. rs teams could not
be used to advantage At this sea-
son OF the year.
Others had plenty OF work for their
teams.
Mr.. Hallows said in reply to n
question. that when he called up Mr..
Wietzer in regard to dumping on the
ground he was told the cars were
on the way and would be there in n
few minutes, bu; they didn'; come.
Another speaker said they had
quit believing the story about the
cars being there ''in few minutes"
Another speaker said there were
more bects to get in than some grow
crs could haul IL they lost no time
waiting and something ought to be
done TO facilitate delivery at the
dumps.
Mr.. Conner said the sugar COM
pany no doub; had its troubles about
cars. He had waited down in New
Mexico u days. and was told the
ears would be there each day. He
thought the A. B. S. Co. had been up
against Il like other corporations. and
in season like this. when everybody
was short on cars. VIC ought to be
considefatc with the company. which
had treated the growers here on the
whole. very fair.
Geo. Laekey said corporation al.
ways held grower up to his con-
tract. and tho Co. ought not to make
. contract II could not keep.
The meeting suddenly dropped the
debate on dumps and ordered com.

crowd and collect the annual mem.
