Today the farmers of the Greeley,
Eaton and Windsor district began to
plant their beet crops on $4,000
acres TO be grown for the three su-
gar factories. Last year beet plant
ing began March 90, but conditions
of soil were more favorable than
now. Because of the dryness of the
ground the fields will be furrowed
5 " inches deep, and il moisture does
not fall sufficient to germinate the
seed, the ground will be irrigated.
In two weeks the entire ground will
be sown. Nine field men stand
ready to suggest best methods of
planting and growing to the 1,150
beet growers in the three districts.
A number of the farmers are fertil-
iZing with the lime mud accumulated
at the sugar factory and given them.
OF those growing beets, less than l
per cent have contracted without the
silo clause and many have asked
that they be allowed to silo so per
cent instead of 25 per cent of their
crop. This will not be granted be-
cause the factory manager says it
cannot afford to pay so cents a ton
extra for more than one-quarter of
the crop. Because of the experience
acquired in the last six years, the
coming season promises to be rec
ord breaker in the history of the
beet industry in northern Colorado.

THE GREAT WAGE CUT
is IN EFFECT TODAY.
Especial to The sentinel.)

Especial to The Sentinel.)
Lowell, Mass, Mar. 3O.-Twenty
thousand workers, men and women,
are affected by the 10 per cent, re-
duction put into effect today by the
cotton mills of Lowell. 1t is expect
ed that similar action will be taken
by all the cotton mills of New Eng
land, unless conditions soon show a
decided improvement.
The mills in Lowell are owned by
the Appleton, Bott, Lawrence, Mass
achusetts, Merrimac, Hamilton and
Suffolk corporations. All manufac-
ture cloth except the Lawrence Man
ufacturing company, which makes
hosiery and underwear.
Manufacturers give as reason for
the change in wages the depression
in the cloth market, the high cost of
cotton and lower prices for goods.
They also say that the existing wage
schedules are the highest paid since
the civil war. Many of the mills will
continue to curtail production until
business improves.
The cotton mills in New England
number $40 out of 1000 in the
United States. OF 100000 cotton
operatives in the country at the pres
ent time about 900, a slight re-
duction from the number at work
last year.
Fall River has 10000 operatives.

1t was about 3 O'Clock yesterday
morning when the special train
bearing the ninety or more Grand

The day in Glenwood was greatly
enjoyed by all who made the trip
Owing to the snow and cold weather
the baseball game scheduled to be
played between the Grand Junction

called off early in the afternoon to
the disappointment of scores of en-

In the evening the Glenwood opera
house was crowded to overflowing &

company of brilliantly talented
Grand Junction people was offered
The show pleased immensely. Ev-
cry number and every feature was
well presented and the audience
grew very enthusiastic. The enter
tainment was a success from every

Charley Hughes certainly gave it
to Alva Adams and Tom Patterson
just about right. He said he had
always been a Democrat, had always
voted the Democratic ticket, had al
ways contributed literally to the
party financially, and had supported
Adams every time he had been up
for office, which had been often, and
had gone down to defeat with and
for him, and then had got kicked out
of the party councils and was now
being accused by Adams and Patter-
son of not being loyal Democrat

All of the eastern lines entering
Colorado have reached an agreement
to park cars so as to enable the
passengers who come on them to re-
main aboard at night while in the
city. Present indications are that
practically all available trackage
will be assigned long before the date
of the convention.
j. c. Ferguson, general agent of
the Union Pacific, stated this morn
ing that his company had contracted
for 120 cars up to date which would
be parked" These cars will have
a capacity of about 1000 people. ].
P. Hall, general agent of the Santa
Fe, said that his company had re-
ceived many requests for informa-
tion as to trackage privileges so that
the occupants could sleep in the cars
at night, hotel accommodations and
other subjects which shows that the
attendance is to be large. The Rock
Island has not received information
as to bookings made in Chicago, but
it will also park" cars. The COM
pany does not own it's terminals in
the city, but will use the Rio Grande
tracks for that purpose.
While these arrangements are
progressing on large scale it is ex-
pected that the people will find upon
arriving that ample hotel accom-
| modations can be secured and the
majority of them will transfer their
| headquarters to the various hotels.

Five honest positions can be taken regard

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
MAKES FINE SHOWING

The roll of honor of the national
banks of the United States is a table
prepared by the "New York Finan-
ciero from the statements made to
the comptroller of the currency, the
date chosen being September, the state
ments made then being published in a
large volume by the government. To
secure place on the roll Of honor
bank must show surplus and undivided
profits equal to or in excess of its cap
ital stoek-that is, assuming the cap
itaI to be 100 per cent, the profits AMI
surplus must exceed that percentage.
In other words. roll of honor bank
has on hand, in the form of surplus and
profits, an amount larger than its cap
ital. A bank s numerical order on the
roll is based on the percentage of sur
plus and profits to capital.
According to the last annual report
of the comptroller of the currency,
there were 6544 banks in operation un-
der national charters. OF these only
1882 are entitled to positions on tue
roll. This means that out of every 100
banks doing business less than IL arr
entitled to mention.
Out of the 1882 national banks en-
titled to place in the roll of honor, as
above mentioned, the Winnemucca
First National stands No. 529 on the
list. This is showing of which the
bank officials naturally feel proud.

ment to the sFinancier' containing
