IN 20 YEARS IS
REPORT
S75 An Acre is Average for Beets
This Year Company Starts Cam
paign for More Beets in Val
ley in a Few Weeks.

The Western Sugar and Land COM
pany will pay the first dividend in
twenty years with the close of the
seasons run of the Grand Junction
sugar factory. The local plant was
the first established in Colorado but
the Officers claim that it wbc never

yer Times
First Factory in State.
The first experiments in the rails
ing of sugar beets were made in the
Grand valley. and the factory here
was the forerunner of what is now
one of the leading industries of Colo
RADIO. The beet-sugar industry would
never have been established in the
west but for the losses suffered by the
local corporation, which continued
experiments in spite of reverses.
Nets $50 AN Acre.
The total acreage of beets on the
Western slope this year was about
1000, the largest since the first few
years of the operation of the factory
The total run will be more than Co.,
600 tons. and about S320 900 will be
paid to growers for their season S
work. According to some estimates,
many of the growers have this year
netted close to $75 per acre from
their beets.
Plan Next Campaign.
Plans are already being made
for next years campaign in the
Grand valley and in Delta and Mont
rose counties, which now furnish a
large part OF the beets for the local
factory. There has been some tail,

WILL TEACH GIRLS FARMING

After years investigation of the
industrial conditions in and about
New York city, Mrs. o. H. p. Bel
mont has reached the conclusion
there is an oversupply of women fac
tory workers and that the best re-
lief is to persuade girls to take up
farming as an occupation.
With this end in view she has set
aside about 200 acres of her land at
Brookholt," Hampstead, Long Is
land. Cor a school of agriculture for
women.
An experienced woman farmer has
been engaged to instruct the pupils
in practical agriculture and there
will not be a man about the place,
except boy or two to do chores
for the first few weeks.
"Of course, expect the under
taking to be self-supporting just as
soon as it gets fairly started" said
Mrs. Belmont. "Many farmers adj
nit their wives and daughters are
their best and most reliable helpers.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
OPENS WITH SUCCESS
Many Depositors Show Public Interest,"
Inspector Hunter Pleased at Number
of Accounts Started---Benefits to be
Derived by Community.

The deposits in the new United
States Postal Savings Bank opened
IN this city Saturday were highly
pleasing to Inspector Hunter, who
was here to witness the opening and
help get the bank properly started.
"There were more accounts start
ed today than l expected to have at
the end of the month";, said Mr..
Hunter, and he showed that he was
much pleased over the way the new
bank was starting off. "There were
more depositors here than any place
/ have vet oeen" continued Mr..
Hunter, "and this was hardly to be
expected, either. Usually it Is IN the
larger cities or where there is large
foreign population that we get the
most depositors to patronize the Pos
tai Savings Banks"
The office Is not allowed to give
out the number of depositors nor the
amount deposited, so it can not be
known how many or how much of
either there were on this first day.
The rules say that "No person con-
nected with the Post Office Depart
ment or the postal service is permit
ted to disclose the name of any de-
positor or give any information con-
corning an account except to the de-
positor himself, unless directed to do
so by the Postmaster General"
One man wanted to deposit 800,
but was told that he could not do so.
The rules provide that not more than
800 can be deposited in one month
by one person, nor can one have a
greater deposit than $500.
1t Is confidently expected that the
community will receive many henfits
from this bank. It will bring much
money into circulation. and in case
of a panic will prevent people from
boarding their money. People have
the utmost confidence in the United
States and know that they can not
possibly lose any Of their money
when it is deposited in a Govern
ment bank. The deposits here will
not probably be very large in total
amount. but they will be consider
able and teach many more people the
advantage of keeping a bank ac-
count.
