No crop impoverislles land quicker
than sugar beets and the question is
shall we continue to raise them at a
price no higher than that of grain
crop when the extra expense is
taken out. Last year | saw beet
land that had produced but eight
tons of beets to the acre when SOW
ed to wheat turned off a crop of
thirty-one bushels TO the acre. Now
if we take the richness of the land
into consideration and the difference
in the cost of production it is my
opinion that there is more money in
small grain than in beets at $3.50 a

worthy of special mention. Some
Of our readers will probably remem-
ber that on the day of the Electric
Power Convention in this city a
special edition of the Pueblo Star
Journal, containing full. detailed
and elaborate front page write up Of
that great event, was sold by news
boys on the streets of La JuEta
within an hour after the convention
assembled. The front page was em-
blazoned with scare heads printed
in red ink. and illustrated with half
tone engravings OF all the notable
personages in attendance at the con-
vention. including G. 4. Sseley. Fif-
teen thousand copies Of this edition
Of the Star-J0urnal were printed
and circulated up and down the
great Arkansas Valley for the pur-
pose Of stirring up enthusiasm over
