ADAPTED for tobacco raising West Vir-
ginia has at last broken into the to-
bacco raising states and the crop
during the past summer was very
large and the growers are receiving
good prices for their product. The
past week has been a lively one In
the tobacco raising sections of this
state and reports from these sections
are to the effect that heavy sales and
Unexpectedly good prices have pre-
vailed.
The deliveries during The past sew
eral days from the tobacco raisers TO
the buyers was heavy and the goods
consisted mainly of suncured goods
that were brought in from the farms
to shipping points by wagon and then
shipped to the Kentucky and Cincin-
natl markets. Filters that were a.
most unstable years ago in this state
and during recent years only brought
from So to $12. readily brought from
SO to $16 per hundred during the past
week Southern and southeastern
counties of this state during the past
few years have embarked the tobacco
raising project and the business has
proved as much of a success as it
has in Virginia, only the Old Domin-
ion is raising the product on much
more elaborate scale.
Huntington will probably prove the
tobacco market for the southern coun-
ties as the majority of his years
crop has been shipped to the seat of
Cabell where it has been shipped by
rail and river to the Louisville and
Cincinnati markets.

After Seed Potatoes.

L. B. Tate of Sedgwick has gone to
Minnesota in search of seed potatoes
for spring planting. Mr.. Tate 10 prob
ably the most successful potato grower
in the South Platte valley and his sue
cess is attributed to selecting good
seed and thorough cultivation.
From past experience Mr.. Tate be-
lieves the early varieties are the most
profitable. This seems especially true
just now when the late varieties are 30
cheap, being only IS and 60 cents per
hundred, usually bringing twice that
amount at this time of the year. In
fact, potatoes is the only crop that is q
drug in the market. Idaho growers
have been shipping east this winter,
and friendly railroad rate has allowed
them to get into the southern trade.
This has hurt the Colorado shipper.
Better prices are anticipated for the
remainder of the season.

that they win light II again. Whel
the insurgents recently assured the
president that they would support foul
of his main policies they failed to say
anything about the federal incorpora
ton bill and ship subsidies. Under
the circumstances the omission was
significant. The third reason u tina,

The argument is that other nations
vote ship subsidies and We cannot

Price Of Sugar Beets.

On Monday the beet growers of Fort
Morgan, Brush, Hilbrose and Weldona
held q meeting at Fort Morgan for the
purpose of presenting united front to
the sugar company. The meeting was
not productive Of any result, growers
about Fort Morgan expressing their
satisfaction with the new sliding scale
of prices, while the Brush farmers
wanted six dollar ton fiat rate.
1t seems to be generally admitted
that the new sliding scale adopted in
the Arkansaw valley and in the Gree
ley and Fort Collins district, will in
crease the price Of beets per ton. With
the increased cost of production it is
very evident that the farmer is justly
entitled to raise in the price of beets.
Farmers contend that the sugar
factory people have been furnishing a
variety of beet seed that produces the
small beet, but rich in sugar contents,
while in former years the seed pro-
duced larger beets, making more tons,
but not so sweet. The sliding scale
will remedy this complaint, provided
the grower gets what is coming to him
in the test. In any event. the sugar
company will not be placed in position
to hold the sack.
From all reports, sliding scale
would quite materially benefit the beet
growers in the Julesburg district. Our
beets are rich in sugar contents and are
not stimulated to large growth by ar
tificial means, making beet that is
very profitable to the factory-most of
it going into the sugar and syrup re-
finery. and not so much into the pulp.

Printing A Papsr On Thursday.

Printing A Papsr On Thursday.
Commencing with the first issue in
March the Grit-Advocate will be printed
on Thursday. Not only will the
paper be printed on Thursday but it
will be printed in time to 60 into the
mails that day. This is written on the
! heels of q candid talk with an adver-
tiser who justly complained that the
paper did not reach the people in time
to be of the most benefit to the adver-
tiser, and that is true.
In order for the people to receive
their paper on Friday it must be mailed
on Thursday evening. If not mailed on
Thursday evening, the paper does not
reach the out-of-town subscriber until
Saturday-not in time to be read before
coming to town to do the Saturday
trading.
For example. A merchant advertis-
ing special bargain for Saturday does
not receive the full benefit of the
papers circulation. People coming in
from the country have not had chance
to read the paper, and know nothing of
the merchants desire to induce them to
come to his store. The merchant does
not get his moneys worth, the sub
scriber misses bargain, and the paper
is blamed.
An advertisement benefits both the
seller and the buyer. and it is to their
interest to have the paper published
and circulated when it will bring the
best results.
If our advertisers will cooperate it
will materially assist. Persons having
notices to publish can help wonderfully
by handing them in before the. train
starts to leave town. We like to ac-
commodate our patrons and friends,
but this paper is going to be published
on Thursdays hereafter. If you want
your ad to look attractive and have a
good position. get your copy into the
hands of the printer. Itstakes time to
do good work. Don't discommode
everyone else by delaying the process
sion. Help US and we will help you.
