FARMERS OF WELD SAY SO
is ONLY REASONABLE PRICE

We, the undersigned committee OF
the Farmers Union, No. 216. OF
Greeley. Colo, were instructed to
look up the sentiment on the beet
question among the unions OF Weld
county, and have summed up the re-
plies as follows:
To Mr.. Morey's article appearing
In the Greeley papers Of the 18th
INST. we have little to add by way of
loses money at the present price
paid for beets, which he does, and If
to pay more entails loss on the
sugar company, which 1t asserts
then the sugar beet industry is
failure, and the sooner it is aband,
oned the more money will be saved
There are $40 members of the
Farmers Union in Weld county. who
say that the average crop of beets II
not a paying one. and are standin,
out for IS per ton fat rate. Th'
sliding scale is generally not satisfac
tory. We are willing to grow beet
when We can obtain a paying con
tract, and believe that $6 per ton 1
no more than a just price.
The Great Western Sugar com
pany is offering us less for beets thai
factories in the southern part OF tn
state are offering farmers there. W.
do not know what the sugar com
pany can pay, but we do know wha
II costs to raise beets (Signed)
