THE BEET QUESTION
Farmers Union Committee Replies to
Last Weeks Article
Rocky Ford. Colo. March 10

Rocky Ford. Colo. March 10.
Replying to Enterprise article Of last
week on beet question, as stated in last
weeks issue Of the Gazette and Topic
that we would answer more fully the ar
tiele in the Rocky Ford Enterprise re-
garding the beet question. would say that
the information the Enterprise published
was solely received from the Sugar Co.
and not from the committee.
There 10 not now nor never was any
intention on the part Of the Farmers
Union or its representatives to consider .
sliding scale contract. The committee
that waited on Mr.. Wistzer made It very
plain that the Farmers Union would not
consider any other contract than . $500
fat rate contract. In view Of the fact
that Mr.. Wietzer says that under average
conditions the farmer will realize IS and
more for beets under the sliding scale.
and furthermore as we can agree on all
points but the price. Mr.. Wietzer says the
farmer should get SIS and more under the
company contract, we feel that we are
not asking anything unfair in making our
demand for SIS fat rate. At a meet
ing of the Otero County Union on the 9th
of March the action Of the committee was
unanimously indorsed. This committee
represents 5000 farmers in the Arkansas
Valley. If to stand firmly together for a
just cause and demand can be construed
as being an agitator we may be guilty Of
the charge. But we are in this race to
stay and will use nothing but fair means
to win.
