10 Kill Aphis.

B. F. Hurst says that many
people are asking him what to do
for the aphis on trees aud shrubs,
and to all such inquiries he would
liks to reply that to all trees ap-
ply the tree tanglefoot which is
for sale by local florists. This
tree tanglefoot prevents the ants
from going up the trees and as
the aphis do not seem to thrive
without the ants it is the best and
quickest to do away with the
aphis.
For all shrubs, including roses
the best thing he has found is a
spray made of one table spoon of
washing powder dissolved in two
gallons of water.

BEET SUGAR FACTORY

ureu ana nIty CROWDED INTO the
Business Mems club rooms Tues
day night to discuss the question
of trying to promote the building
of sugar factory at Monte Vista.
The discussion occupied wide
range and took in the various
phases of business, ethical and
social aspects.
Some seemed inclined to wait
for capital to come to the Valley
unlimited; Others were disposed to
adopt the methods of the success.
full towns and cities by aiding in
the promotion Of desirable enter
prises by going after them and
encouraging capital to come to the
Valley and engage in a profitable
and Legitimate business. Some
were sceptical and feared 600
ton day factory could not be
supplied with bets; the miller
was apprehensive that all of the
100000 acres Of wheat and pea
lands that now supply the big
-four mill at Monte Vista would
all 60 into beet raising and thus
the flour business would be des
troyed; the banker. was apprehen-
sive that bank deposits would be
reduced-the idle capital being
turned to beet raising; the bust
ness man was apprehcnslve that
the beet growers would want credit
from seed time to harvest and also
that small competing houses would
follow the importation of cheap
labor; the lawyer pointed out what
seemed to him might be technical
objections to some part of the pro-
posed agreemeat,ghich had been
prepared by tho executive com.
mittee. The moral and social
effect Of importing cheap foreign
labor to till the soil and harvest
the beets was discussed pro and
con-whether the undesirables
would lower the present standard
Of Monte Vista or would be ele-
waited to a higher ethical plane.
II cannot be denied that cheap
labor is the corner stone upon
which all Of our great manufactur-
ing establishments throughout the
country rest.
Finally the benefits Of a factory
were touched upon and every man
in the hall agreed that a factory
would double the price of good
lands all over the Valley. DR..
Chapman, who had listened to hot
and cold air for two hours, made
five minutes speech in which he
took an optimistic view and sug-
gested that the various committees
that had been appointed were CON-
posed of good men who are able to
handle propositions ~ they arose.
A motion was made and second
ed that il was the sense Of those
present to do all they could to
promote the building Of sugar
factory, also a railroad north.
The motion was adopted unani-
mously by n rising vote.
It was the consensus Of opinion
that the beet sugar industry will
bc % profitable 70 the ranchmen
