SUGAR ASCENDS THRONE

ITO keep sweet" is not always
the easiest thing in the world-but
it is often the cheapest thing to
do, even with sugar mounting
steadily and it's claim to the crown
makes the efforts of cotton, wheat
and corn look like very mild pre-
tenders.
That the sugar beet crop in the
San Luis valley has more than
held its own, is to us a splendid
sign of future prosperity for this
empire-which has probably had
more prejudice to overcome than
any other section of Colorado.
The first mention Of the growing
of sugar beets in this valley met
with the usual loud and hollow
gutfaw, but fifty mile ride over
the beet areas by JOURNAL man

mirthsmith's job is finished so far
as sugar beet culture in the San
Luis is concerned.
That sugar beets will Withstand

conclusively shown last year; that
they are not back ward or peevish
in wet weather 10 shown in the
splendid fields this season.
This community now has q
brand new industry-that of pro-
ducing sugar, a commodity that
people want and will pay for. 1t
is hopeful sign for the success of
this industry that much of the
money which has gone into it is
from local enthusiastic and the
loyal and intense interest which
the farmers have taken in the
growing and care of the beets.
One of the sugar experts told our
representative that the average
care of beets was far ahead of that
usually taken by growers the first
season.
We passed acres and acres Of
beets with fine. even stand and
fields visited showed a variety of
conditions. Some contained large
beets with small tops. and it was a
revelation to the pencil pusher to
dig into the soil where an unpre-
tentious beet top showed and find
u fine, solid beet that would weigh,
say from two pounds up. Other
fields contained beets with large
tops and sugar reservoirs to CORES.
