The members of the Otero County
Beet Growers Association have
been notified by Manager Weitzer
that the New York Office of the
American Beet Sugar Company had
sustained him in his proposition
made to the growers and that they
would not pay fiat rate of 81 per
ton for beets. This puts the prop
osition squarely up to the farmers
and the present indications are that
the farmers will hang together and
not raise any beets. Last year the
growers raised more beets than the
factories could conveniently handle,
and it is estimated that about one
half the contracts in force last
season hold over for another year at
the 81 per ton fiat rate. The dis
satisfied beet growers are not max
ing any effort to induce farmers to
violate contracts that are still in
force, and it is said that the Rocky
Ford factory has at least 5000 acres
of these ho'd-over contracts. so it is
apparent that the sugar companies
vii! not have to go out of business
altogether. To the uninitiated it
leoks as though there were two sides
to the question. If the grower s
play fair the sugar companies will
at least be inclined To and ready TO
pay every man for all he produces.
We are reliably informed by
the growers themselves that
some of the growers have not
played fair. but have tried to
foist beets upon the factory that
were absolutely worthless. The
grower who cultivates and irrigates
his beets properly, it Is said, has no
trouble whatever in raising beets
that test Is per cent saccharine. and
the powers that be of the sugar
factories declare that they want all
growers TO raise S5 beets. The
grower who strives to make weight
in his crop by excessive irrigation
( instead of the needed cultivation tc
develop the sugar content is no,
playing fair with the sugar com.
/ panies. nor with his fellow growers
in demanding S5 fiat rate. To &
