Grand Valley Opposes Plan.

Palisade.-Frank C. Goudy will leave
for Washington in a few days to op-
pose the low line canal contemplated
by the Reclamation Service for the
completion of the Grand Valley irri-
cation project. The low line canal has
been recommended by the reclamation
engineers, but is being opposed by the
fruit growers of the district because
it runs through a number of valuable
orchards which will be destroyed IL
the project should be carried out
An alternative plan, known as the
high line canal, has been proposed. 1t
is more expensive piece Of construc.
tion than the low line canal, but as
it will save the orchards II is favored
by the Western slope people.
Mr.. Goudy has been selected by a

section to represent them in Wash.

change in the plans made.

PROSPECT OF SUGAR MILL

The writer met w. d. Hoover,
vice president of the San Luis
Valley Sugar Company, the other
day. This is the firm that is build
ing the beet sugar mill at Monte
Vista and Mr.. Hoover was the
chief promoter. He is feeling
rather jubilant at the turn things
are taking. The building of the
mill is progressing satisfactorily
and the beet crop in the valley is
beyond their hope for the first
year. Mr.. Hoover has made a
study of the sugar business for
years and possesses vast fund of
information along that line. He
can trace the history of sugar beets
from the time they were first in
troduced into France by Napoleon,
a hundred years ago, to the pres
ent day. One fallacy that has
gained ground and done some harm
is that sugar beets are hard on the
land. Mr.. Hoover has taken con-
siderable time and trouble to in
vestigate this point and has found
the opposite to be true. Cases
have come under his observation
where the grain yield has been in
creased after the land had raised
a crop of beets. He says there is
no danger of getting too many
sugar factories in this country for
a long time to come. America
only produces eighteen per cent of
the sugar she now consumes and
should be producing it all.-Romeo

BIG BUSINESS

pected until the main crops are
