AS to the great beet, all the
preliminary tidings is of encourag-
ing import. In the Arkansas valley
the industry Is in an unusually
flourishhng state. There are six
factories in operation. and farmers
are doing their utmost in order to
be able to fulfill the requirements
of their contracts. That some
splendid records will be shattered
this season is beyond question.
The 1910 crop had value of
ss.30O.00O. This years should be
worth not less than O.00O0.000.
Although there is yet considerable
friction in some sections between
the growers and the factories in
regard to sliding scales" 1t does
not seem as 1t would have a SER
iously restrictive Influence on pro-
duotion in 1911.
The beet sugar industry Of COLI

is represented by fifteen factories

BUMPER YEAR ON FARM EX-

Plenty of Water In Reservoirs and
Crop Conditions Are Most
Favorable

Ny. but there's fine news CON-
ing In these days from the agri-
cultural regions of Colorado. Every
thing appears to be in tip-top shape
all round. In the ditch and dry
farming regions alike there is a
rising feeling of gladsomeness. A
year of exceptionally large profits
is confidently anticipated. There's
plenty of water in the reservoirs

tions are such as II they had been
made to order by a Providence in
extraordinary good humor.
The winter wheat fields are re-
ported to be advancing toward ma
turity in promising condition. Ac-
cording to the monthly estimate of
the federal government. total of
l21, 900 acres is devoted to this
staple crop. the condition of which
was 85 per cent on May 1. From
this. the conclusion may be drawn
that this years production will be
at least 100000 bushels. The
spring wheat crop not being likely
to fall short of 100000 bushels.
prospects are that the grand total
will be something like 10.50O.OOO
