SUGAR BEET CONTRACTS
Conejos County Farmers Will
Plant a Good Acreage.

j. l.. Houser, field superintend
ent in this district for the San
Luis Valley Sugar company, has
been working among our farmers
this week. The sugar company
has 1000 acres contracted here
and desires five or six hundred
more. Mr.. Houser has been with
the Great Western Sugar com
pany's factory at Ft. Collins since
1t was built about seven years
ago and is considered one of the
best experts on sugar beet rails
ing in the state. He resigned his
position with the Ft. Collins fac
tory at the same time that +. NJ.
Wright, manager of that factory
resigned to accept a similar posi-
tion with the San Luis Valley
factory. Mr.. Houser will make
his headquarters at La Jara and
bring his family here to live
soon after the closing of the
schools, which his children are
attending, at Ft. Collins. From
this point he will look after the
distribution of seed, planting, cul-
tivating and harvesting of the
beets, advising as to the charac
ter of the land most suitable for
beet growing, watering, etc.
Mr.. Houser believes that our
soil should raise from 15 to 20
tons to the acre and states that
the tests made by the sugar com
pany from beets raised in this
section last year were satisfactory
Anyone planting 20 acres or
more will be furnished family
if they desire, to work in the
fields. The charge for this la
Dor will be $50 per acre. A man
and his wife can successfully at
tend to 90 acres. German fam
lilies come from Kansas and Neb-
raska but the company will fur
nish workers of any nationality
desired. The employment of these
workers amounts to a practical
guarantee that the grower will
raise good crop. Sugar beet
seed comes from Germany and is
thoroughly tested before it is
sent out.
Beet dumps will be built at
convenient points along the rail
road, it not being profitable to
haul beet, by agon a greater
distance than five miles, unless
soil conditions are extra favor
able.
Mr.. Houser believes the San
Luis Valley will support three
or four factories and expects to
see them built within a few years.
He believes the beet sugar indus
try will double our population
ten times and open up new era
of progress, ut probably you
have met him and talked with
him and that being the case you
know all these facts and a great
many more, for Mr.. Houser is full
of information and enthusiastic
on these subjects.

No action looking to q receivership

TO Be DELEGATES

Bismarck, n. D., Dec, 30.--It is I'M
derstood that the unterrified demo-
Gratis of the Red river valley have
reached an agreement whereby ex-
Senator Purcell of wahpeton, Willis
A. Jay of Grand Forks and Judge
Conmy of Pembtna will be the three
candidates from the valley as dele
gates to the national democratic con-
vention. If these men are selected by
their party there will be no doubt of
their intent to make the republican
road next fall as rocky a one as pos
sible. They are also men who will
support the convention nominees after
their return, no matter whether they
were their choice or not. 1t would
seem about time that some of the old
pioneer and wheel horses OF the DEM
ocratic party should be recognized in
being selected for such important po-
sitions.

tend the banquet tonight with tart
as the guest of honor.
III you intend to support these trea-
ties. however the principal letter

then you are all right because You are
supporting what is not very impor-
tant but still sincere effort to make
things little better. | cannot permit
the use of my name at that peace BAN
quet, however, because don't KNOW
what the banquet is for.
.If it is meant to overawe the sem
ate and force that body against It's
conscience to support the amended
treaties, which the senate committee
on foreign relations has shown by
unanswerable argument to be hostile
to the honor and interest OF the
American people, then am not 10

he believed should not be arbitrated
was the Monroe doctrine. the state
bond question. the right of America to
abrogate the Russian treaty OF 1882,
and the question of allowing unlimited
Asiatic immigration into the United

Bloorner answered that the form OF

that the banquet In his opinion, should
