57,081 acres of sugar beets were
planted in eastern Colorado, including
the Fountain Valley and about 5000
acres in western Kansas as far east IS
Barton County.
In 1907 approximately $50, 600 tons
were raised in the Arkansas valley
which includes about 1900 tons in the
Fountain Valley, which the farmers
received $500 ton, f. 0. b. cars. The
farmer received froms750 90 and upwards
per acre for the beets and pays out
approximately $50. 90 per acre, besides
having the tops and crowns for stock
feeding.
R.N. Harris Of Rocky Ford, Colo.
had an average of 1873 tons per acre.
R. O. McClain, Manzanola, Colo had
an av rage of 32.9 tons per acre.
James Renick, Garden City. K as. had
an average of 80 tons per acre
w. G. Riddoch, Fountain, Colo had
an average of 28 tons per acre.
In the contract with the farmer the
factory allows the farmer 20 per cent
of the pulp from the beet he ships I. o. b.
factory, and as much more as desire d at
25 cents per ton.
Adjoining most factories are pens
where the surplus pulp is used to fatten
| live stock. There is now in European
countries and at some of the eastern
factories in the United States process
to dry the pulp, and dispose OF it IN
that condition, which has proved
great success.
The sugar crop is not speculative as
the farmer contracts the crops and
knows lust what he viii receive.
| The Investment of the mills and lands
lin the Valley bought aggregates to the
round sum of $40, 100000 In the United
States, Colorado leads in the sugar
industry, there being 16 factories
Besides in the Arkansas Valley, sugar
beets are grown on the Western Slops
and north of Denver.

The SUGAR
Beet Industry

Through the courtesy Of DIR. F. B.
Cspp we are enabled to publish the
following in regard to Sugar Beets. by
one who has given the subject careful
study
Dear Sir
Complying with your request / sub
mis herewith partial report on the
sugar beet industry in the United States
and some Of the European countries,
and also my connection and work in the
different branches of the sugar beet
industry in the United States.
The sugar beet is native Of Burgundy.
from whence it was introduced into
Germany and France, where it WAS
used as cattle food. In 1747, it was
discovered that the beet contained sugar.
and Achard commenced a systematic
culture of the beet, and increased the
contents of the sugar from six to fif-
teen per cent. In 1786, the sugar beet
was introduced into England, and in
1880 into the United States.
The iirst sugar factory was establish
ed in Germany with Imperial aid in
1902. In early part Of Napoleon's reign,
Archard received Imperial aid, and es-
tabIished the sugar industry in France.
In 1899, the sugar beet was introduced
into the Arkansas Valley, and since
that time seven beet sugar factories
low. 1na,, oraotod

has been a dominant power in the
politics of New Mexico, has been
compelled by loss of health to sur
render his post as editor of the
New Mexican, having left the
Capital City last Saturday night
for Kansas City, where he will
enter Sanitariunl to pass his
last days. Although paralyzed and
blind for the past eight years, he
has retained his mental faculties
in a remarkable degree, person
ally passing on everything adj
mitted to the columns Of the paper
Of which he was the guiding spir-
it, Sunday $ Denver Post, in COM
menting on the passing Of Col
.onel has the following:
Col. Max Frost, for over twenty
years the acknowled edged4eader Of
the Republican party in New
Mexico, and the pioneer editor Of
the territory, issto be taken to
Kansas City tomorrow, where it
is said, he will be placed in a pri
VI
yate sanitariufn. He will be ac-
companied by his wife and son.
Thus IN brief is told the begin
ming Of the end of a remarkable
man. Although totally blind and
paralyzed so that he has not been
able to walk for almost eight
years, Col. Frost has dominated
Republican politics in New Mex
leo. In fact, he has reignedg sup
rene, controlled numerous legis-
latures, practically secured the
appointment and removal of gov
II
ernors and other officials.
AS editor of the Santa Fe Mex.
ican, he has been instrumental n
attracting to the territory in many
ways, and for eight years served
as secretary of the territorial
bureau Of immigration. During
his career he also filled the posi-
tion of register of the local Unit
ed States land office, and served
as adjutant general under several
governors.
He gained fame in the latter
position by ridding New Mexico
Of a gang of outlaws that for
years had terrorized the territory
and while leading the militia
against them he several times
narrowly escaped assassination
at the hands Of the desperadoes
A month ago Col. Frost went
to New York to consult a specia-
list witha view toundergoing an
operation that would restore the
Use Of his legs. The specialist,
T
after an examination, told him
there was little hope and that he
had but a short time to live.
This is said to have preyed up
on his mind until it collapsed.
The first evidences of his con-
dition were noticed when he be-
gan making gifts Of money to
10 3al churches and friends. When
demonstrated with he. explained
his actions by saying that he had
bought out Andrew Carnegie's
aoldings in the United States
S eel corporation and, therefore,
had plenty Of money to distribute.

Stephens Suspicion Deepens.

Mr.. Hume glanced quickly at the
rector. A third person watching Bon
holt Humes face as the blunt cues
ton was put might have fancied that
shade of uneasiness had suddenly
crept into his eyes.
II am not ashamed to admit it." he
said, after an almost imperceptible
pause, as If with burst of candor. 81

ed too hasty Judgment Mr.. Hume
glanced round as he spoke. The po-
lice inspector in the dog cart was al
most abreast of them; the driver was
slowing speed, as though he had some
business with one of the group on the
pavement. Bonholt Hume's smooth,
bland tones were lowered as the trap
slowly passed them. Surely, rector,

cur. was anxious that young fellow
have always liked should have the
benefit of the doubt? That was why
I warned him."
"And he got away? You think that
he is safe from capture now" cried
Hilda. in strained, eager whisper.
Il am glad that can reassure you
on that point. my dear Miss Ruthen,"
said Mr.. Hume, in his kindly benevo-
lent way, the round, plump face with
the childlike blue eyes looking more
cherubic than ever, speaking in low
voice. Yes, hope and think that he
is safe for the present. am only glad
was able to warn him. Evidently he
had friends in the neighborhood-at,
as I am convinced, Mr.. Strangways'
house, either in the person of Miss
Strangways or the doctor in attend
ance on Mr.. Strangways; my impress
sion is that the pair of them helped
young Lath-er-the man we are
speaking of. He was traced to the
Grange: but though the detective
from Fellsgarth went there, his efforts
to trace the fugitive were quite fruit
less"
The chief inspector in the dog cart
had driven few yards past them:
then, as If he wanted to speak to one
of the group, he jumped down and
walked slowly back toward them.

A little, half-hysterical sob Of relief
broke from the girl.

you for doing that" she cried.
Stephens eyes were bent on Bon
holt Hume. There was a memory in
his mind of a day before, long before
the discovery of the dead man in his
coffin of snow had solved the mystery
of Philip Hume's disappearance, when
this man had virtually accused Jack
Lathom in his hearing, had sown
broadcast inuendoes, here, there, and
everywhere, all calculated-designedly
calculated, as Stephen now believed
to fasten suspicion on Lathom in re-
spect to Philip Hume's as then mex
plicable disappearance.
"You warned him, Mr.. Hume?" said
the rector, suddenly, watching the 9TH

so convinced of Jack Lathom's guilt.

WILL TEST JERSEY
ELECTION Law
Court Invoked in Rejection of
Republicans Nomination List
by Camden City Clerk.

Essex county politicians are interest
ed In the judicial Interpretation Of New
Jerseys election law, which will be
sought as the result of the rejection
yesterday by City Clerk Isaac ". Brad
ley. of Camden, Of the list of nomina-
ions filed by Alfred Savers, secretary
of the Republican executive committee
of Camden county. This list included
seventy-six names of members of that
committee. who are from each election
district of the county.
Clerk Bradley based his refusal to
accept the list on the ground that there
is no warrant in the law for the cleo
ton to the county committee of a MEM
Der from every voting district. He
contends that the language of the law
provides explicitly that one member
of the committee shall be chosen from
each ward. Bradley stated his reasons
In a letter to Sayers, who turned II
over to Assistant Prosecutor Charles
A. Wolverton. counsel for the Repub-
lican executive committee. The latter
declared his intention to begin man.
damus proceedings in the name OF
Harry A. Reeves, chairman of the CON-
mittee. This will bring the election
law before the court for a ruling on its
meaning.
