To Beet
Growers
February 8, 1910.

To limit, as far as possible. the
danger of beets being frozen and aban-
doned in the ground, and accepting
to large extent the suggestions and
recommendations presented to us by
the Farmers Committee, we have pre-
pared contract with provisions that
we believe will help to prevent re-
currence of the troubles of the past
season, and prove, in other respects,
beneficial to the grower
The acreage to be sliced has
been reduced from 4O% to 3O%, and
the price of sliced beets has been in
creased from 40 cents to so cents per
After October 10th should the
grower find no cars to deliver his load
into when he arrives at the Dump and
is thereby put to serious delay he will
be permitted to fork his beets out upon
a pile at designated place, in the inn
mediate neighborhood of the loading
station.
The scale houses are also to be
kept open until E o'clock p. m. to avoid
any delay to growers.
The Company must make ar
rangements for seed and other sup
plies. depending to great extent upon
the acreage to be planted, and this we
should know within the next few
DAYS. 1t is our intention not to con-
tract for as large an acreage as here
tofore, on account of the provisions in
the contract which allows the growers
to throw beets in piles at the loading
stations, which will also help in the
direction of an early completion Of
beet deliveries.
Our representative. Mr.. George
Edwards, will be at Ordway, Colorado.
on Saturday. February 18th and Feb
ruary 18th, and at Olney, Colorado.
on Thursday. February 10th, and
Thursday. February 18th, for the pur-
pose Of making contracts for the sea-
son of 1910.
