THE sugar beet industry this season
has been better than ever 10 Colorado"
said Mr.. Carey, "and the millions of
money that the beet crop will bring to
the people Of Colorado will be OF spe-
cial value In bringing the state through
the present financial furry in good
shape. ! believe Colorado IL in ex.
celleut condition financially. and when
II realizes from Its present immense
crop Of sugar beets there will be no
need for anyone TO complain Of the
scarcity OF money. Had the industry
been developed in Colorado In 1893, as
IL is today, this state would never have
known that there was panic In the
country except by news reports. How.
ever, feel certain that the worst OF
the financial stringency in the east Ia
over and that conditions from now on
will continue to improve as the United
States gets the cash for the immense
crops Of wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco
and other staples raised during the
last season. The west is especially for
