The Raymer enterprise. (New Raymer, Weld County, Colo.) 1910-19??, 1910-11-03

Bet, Fsowers are delivering more
freely this week than earlier in the
campaign and the weather has been
ideal for harvesting. The percentage
of. sugar content has increased since the
I first deliveries in nearly every case,
which is because the fine dry weather
has allowed better ripening. A storm
at this time would cause a drop in
sweetness, and as that is the basis of
payment both growers and factory men
are hoping no storm will come until all
the crop can be harvested. The factory
machinery is running smoothly and
making record runs nearly every day,
the average tonnage sliced being above
500 daily and the quality is the best
ever.
A visit to the sampling laboratory is
interesting and shows how carefully
and fairly all tests for sugar content
are made. The growers samples are
accompanied by double check slip con-
tanning all necessary information 10
identity it but with a blank space for
the chemists results. This is placed
inside sealed envelope marked only
with number, the date and loading
station, attached to the sack of samples
and sent on to the testing room, there
being absolutely no chance that the
person making the tests can know
whose beets he is testing. Every beet
in the sample has slice ground out of
it, right through the center and the re-
sulting pulp accurately tested. The
percentage result Of this test is cut by
a perforating machine in plain figures
! right through the heavy manila envel-
ope and the unseen double check sin
within, these going to the cashiers of.
flee before the envelope is opened and
the growers name disclosed.
Factory officials decline to give Out
information regarding the tonnage, per.
centage or value of individual growers

the property of the grower only. They
state, however, that comparatively few

liable statistics as to their beet yields.
They all agree that this is a good beet
year and in general this crop has paid
better than any other.
C. G. Carlson, on the old Waldo
farm, says his beets are running about

1863 to 1876 per cent, which mears
from $3.50 to IS per ton, an average +
over SIS an acle. 1hos. McWilliams,
about the same distance from Eaton to
the northwest, is running about 90 tons
to the acre at an average priceof SSH
Joe Ross has splendid stand of beets
which he says is making about 20 tons
to the acre, but the sugar content is not
so high and the average price is about
IS. 25-even that makes over 500 to the
acre and is pretty good harvest. Per-
haps Frank Waterhouse has the sweet

An interesting story is that of Turn
err Bros. Willis and Merrill Turner are
high school boys who can do some
things other than study books, though
at that and on the school athletic field
they may also be rcckoned with to earn
honorable mention. They took a con-
tract to raise beets on the factory
ground and with their harvest partly
over, figure that after paying all en-
penses, including fair wages for their
own time, they will have Il net profit of
$500 each. Their field east of the fac
tory has been entirely harvested and
delivered arr accurate measurements
disclose an average yield of % l-2 tons
to the acre, running from 1872 to III
per cent, averaging $3.50 per ton or
$l23.75 gross income per acre. A
peculiar feature Of this yield is that
this land has been cropped in beets for
nine years consecutivcly, with the ex-
ception Of one season when it was in
turnips. It has, Of course, ibeen well
fortified every season.

For the past month |. r. Collarl has
been drilling away. seemingly in vain,
for good water beneath the surface
underaow which usually contains too
much alkali to be fit for house use.
Wednesday evening ,hey'weie down 444
feet when the drill engine went wrong
and the we'll was left with the casing
standing about two and a half feet above
the ground. Yesterday about ten
O'Clock the water began flowing out of
the casing and has been gradually in
creasing in volumn since. The SUPPOSE
ton is, that the bottom of the well is
near strong vein Of water and it is
forcing its way through the intervening
Strata of earth, and, when the well is
sunk few feet deeper, strong artes-
ian flow will be encountered.
This would add many thousand dol
lars to the value of Mr.. Collard' S ranch,
which is quarter of mile southwest
of town, and is known as the Red
Ranch. 1t would also be big boom
to lift, for when it becomes known that
good artesian well can be had at the
depth of $50 feet, many such wells will
be made in this vicinity and lift will
be known as the Artesian City. lift

From The Eaton Hcrsl..
The Weld county exhibit at the Pitts
burg show is said to be great adver-
tisement for this country.
The Greeley factory broke its own
record in slcing 100 tons of beets in "a
hours -but has to go some to catch up
to Eaton.
Weld county has thirty more schools
this fall than a year ago. There are
now l03 school districts and 80 teach
ers employed. The job of county sup
erintendent is a harder one to fill salts
factoriy in this county than in any
other in the state.
Will Anderson of Eaton is in charge
of force of men and teams row max
ing a temporary road and bridge across
the old bend of the Poudrc near the
Howard farm. The present old wooden
bridge will be torn down and sub
stantal cement arch erected in its
place with gravelcd approaches. Very
little water is carried in the old stream
now, since the Clayton cutoff farther
south takes the main course, where a
fine cement bridge was placed by the
commissioners couple of years since.
When this new improvement is COM
pleted there will not be piece of plank
left in the road between Greeley and
Eaton.

in the water. The otter is darker
brown and is much more slender

kers, it looks not unlike cat as il
swims about with its head out of the
water, says the Churchman.
When it drags its body upon the
bank one sees that the legs are short
er than cats, and the tail. which is
broad ard strong, is fla;tened more
like beavers. Il is unlike the beav-
er's in tapering toward the end. for

Once there were n great many OF
ters in England, but the little crea-
lures were too fond OF fish to please
the fishermen, so otter hunting with
dogs became fashionable sport.
Hounds especially trained for that
purpose hunted down and brought the
otter to bay, and they were killed
with long spears carried by the hunt
ers. In India and China the animals
fondness for fish has been turned to
good account. In the former coun-
try it has been taught to drive fish
into nets. while in China the otter is
allowed to go into the stream to catch
fish and is then drawn out by means
of a rope held on shore This is a
very satisfactory way OF getting fish,
as the animal never eats its prey un-
til ii reaches shore, and thus it is Sc
