1000 pounds Of VanBuskirk's Melted

under the surface and gaining the know

grown melons for years in that valley

July, and that vine crops can be matured
without drop Of rain or dew on the

They are now in the field for the
financial aid necessary to swing the

and the people OF the other towns IN

so. So far the subscriptions arc com.

home parties have shown their faith

be necessary to go into the outside

But the demonstration OF the exist

been obtained. The means for it,

Is the Sugar Bee, Area Limited

Touching the condition cited by
the Enterprise two weeks ago, whcr
treating OF the difference OF opinion
between the beet growers and the
sugar makers. namely the factor OF
beet area. Jesse II. Buifum in the
Beet Sugar Gazette. points out that
while eastern sugar beet growers are
depressed by the competition given
them by the. irrigation beet. area nl
the western states their fears are
srouudlcss. He grants that it is les,
difficult TO grow bccts in irrigated
areas than where rainfall is the source
OF water supply. for the reason that
soil culture and care does not have
to be practiccd so sirdiously. But
he points out tina, for the year 1905.
the average OF acres i'll each of the
six eastern states having sugar fac
tories was Il.Ii6 acres. a compared
with an average OF II.7IS acres III
each OF the. ten states OF the irrigated
region that have factories. Hc.adds
as n maatcr of comparison that the
average OF tons per acre was 90, III
the east and only iI.ot in the west.
showing that the tonnage productive
ness is not so widely different lie
emphasizes .hc fact that the growing
o; bccts has been fostcrcd and nurtur-
cd much more in the west than III
the east. Outside OF Michigan which
has sixteen factories. and Wisconsin
four. the eastern group have but one
factory each: willie the ten western
states group have an average oi four
factories each Yet the II factories
OF tie cast have developed larger

The industrial and agricultural de

People in the enjoyment OF the best
OF health rarely object to adding
genial climate to the list OF the bless

Working up support For Or wers

The Executive Committee Of the Otero
Co. Beet Growers Association held de-
lucrative meeting last Tuesday. They
decided to make canvass OF the ousl-
ness interests of the valley and ask their
cooperation in sustaining the hight
against the reduction Of the price for beet
growing. They interviswed the banks,
aud these institutions agreed to stand by
the farmers. The First National and the
Farmers G. Merchants OF Rocky Ford
have said tha. they will lend no money to
grow beets at $3.50 per ton: and 1t is
expected that other banks will Join IN this
decision. The committees representa-
tives went to La Junta on wednesday
and to Las Animas yesterday. 1t is the
intention to meet the Boards of Trade
and the representative individuals OF the
several communities up and down the
valley and ask their influence in sustain
ing the demand Of the farmers that the
fat rate Of SIS per ton OF last year be
continued by the factories.
So far the growers Of the valley are
standing pat on their resolution to sign
no contracts for $3.50 beets.
An interesting rumor is quite generally
current this week to the effect that
Manzanola Is to have sugar fac
tory next year. The parties mentioned
as now engaged in promoting the scheme
are such monisd men as the Beatty Bros
and John c. Vroman. The names and
the landed interests they represent in the
vicinity Of Manzanola are certainly sdffi-
cient to give the rumor large weight.

which had been appointed at the prev

report of Receiver Hall.
Before this was reached. however.
the crowd wished to hear from the
Receiver upon certain items appear
ing in the summary OF his report. as
published. as well as to explain the
contract with G. w. Swink on the
Fenton property. This he did to the
satisfaction OF everyone present. as
was evidenced when the chair put a
motion that "the approval OF the de-
and Geo. w. Swink for their action
in regard to the Fenton property"
and IL was carried unanimously.
Chairman North Of the depositors
committee read their report which
showed that the committee. after i
careful examination OF the banks as

positors would not receive more than

wound up. this Of course was climin-
ating the Fenton property upon

They are Seeing Shadows.

Editor w, T. Jenkins of the Platte
City Landmark calls attention to a
patent fact in the following terse
style:
You may not know it but there
isn't a high republican official in
the United States that is not "trem-
bling in his boots" to make use of
an old expression. Our friends are
getting more shakey every day.
They do not know what is going to
happen. They are trying to brace
themselves to stand any surprise
and face any disaster. They haven't
that bold and clustering manner
that they have shown before former
general elections. They have the
fear and uneasiness of the guilty
man who sees his finish. They
know they have failed, that they
have had a financial panic, that
they have spent over a billion dol
lars of the peoples money and have
created in one year a deficit of over
a hundred million dollars, that they
have turned down every measure
offered by their own president for
the relief of the people and they are
thinking and thinking it with fear
and trepidatiOn that their day is
about done, that they have been
: weighed by the people and found
wanting to legislate only for the
trusts. Turn the rascals out.
