RAISING CROPS ON SOD LAND

Not all crops do we'll upon such q

fair yields In ordinary seasons. The
disk planter is better than the shoe
planter. as it easily penetrates the
soil. Thus 1t plants the seed in moist
soil at q uniform depth. The corn is
best planted In drills 18 to % inches
apart in the row and three and one
half feet between the rows. Sod corn
needs little further cultivation. 1t may
be narrowed at first.
In normal seasons. fax is one Of the
best first crops for the sod land. The
sod is prepared the same as for corn.
The flax may then be drilled in with
a presss single disk drill using from
25 to IS pounds OF seed according to
quality. Usually fax should be plant
ed about the middle Of May.
Milo Is good feed crop for sod land

injury. 1t healed rapidly however

where the thread worked out yes

fortunately, otherwise 1t might
have infected the wound. That the
needle went through the thumb

An Independent beet sugar fac

ers chance to share the large pro-
fits that are made, will be erected
in Greeley if sufficient supprt is
given, according to the plans OF
Ward barley, who is in the city to-
day looking over the advantages of
the district
Mr.. barley claims to have plenty
of capital behind him to erect a
large modern factory and says that
the one thing needed to insure the
factory is for the farmers to sign
contracts for sufficient acreage to
guarantee it's successful operation.
He has also been figuring at Brigh-
ton and in the San Juan district.
He is also identified with the intro
duction OF the industry. in the San
Luis valley.
The general plan is to pay the
growers a flat rate of $3.50 per
ton for the beets. Then the grow
ers are to figure in the profit shar-
ing. After ten per cent. on the
capital invested has been deducted
'one-half of the remaining profits
are to be divided pro rata among
The farmers who have sold the beets
to the factory. The estimates are
that this distribution will bring the
price received for the beets from
$3.50 to $1,000 per ton.

plenty of profit to be divided Mr..

Gentlemen:
Certain insinuations have been
appearing in your editorial coli
umns, which we desire corrected,
concerning the recent change in
Officers in our hank. You seem to
be disposed to place the impression
before the public that Mr. DeVinny's
resignation was forced. We desire
to CORRECT that impression. Mr.. De-
Vinney resigned voluntarily, a few
days after his operation. He in
formed us at that time that 1t WAS
Ills intention to cut out rs many
duties as he cOnscientiously could,
on account of his weakened physical
condition as q result Of his opera
ton.
MIR. Devfnny's record with the
hank has been the hest. At the an
nual meeting held the first Of the
year, In the face of all the insinua-
lions which you were even then
throwing out against him, he was
unanimously reelected to the board
Of directors and presidency Of the
bank. We have always felt fnmpli-

cit confidence in MIR. DeVinny, and
do yet, and confidently expect to see
him indicated when his case comes
to trial.
At the time of his resignation was
presented there was considerable
difference Of opinion among the
stockholders and directors Of the
hank, as to whether it should be &C.
cepted. 1t was only at his request
that he he excused from any duties
connected with the hank that 1t was
accepted. As you say the ''stOck-
holders were no more anxious that
he should resign as president Of the
bank than the people are that he
should resign as commissioner" we
are perfectly willing to confirm that
statement, with the addition that
those most anxious for his resigna-
ton no doubt are several other PEG
pie who would like his office,
whereas in the hank there was no
one especially seeking his position,
and therefore none sought to use
force to obtain his resignation.
Respectfully,

| tory for last year as 1875 per cent.
The cry of the sugar factories
that a removal Of the sugar tariff
will cause every one OF the beet
sugar factories to close down is all
bosh, according to Mr.. barley. and
to the layman 1t would appear that
the earnings of the Great Western
last year more than cover any tariff
reduction that could be made.
The idea of the Independent fac
tory does not appear to be to fight
the trust but merely to make more
attractive proposition to the farm
ers. and to develop the industry
more fully in this section.
A number of local people have
interested themselves in the project
and have suggested that the propos-
al Of Mr.. barley be brought before
the Commercial club. It is prob
able that the plan will be brought
before the farmers and citizens gen.
orally through a series OF mass
meetings that will begin ut an early
date to test the sentiment regarding
an independent factory here.
Some months ago an eastern CAPT.
talist was in the city looking over
the destrict with the view OF estab-
fishing an independent factory
here, but nothing definite was done
ct that time, although 1t is said
that the matter is still under adj
visement. The fact that indepen-
dent capital is interested in the
beet industry would indicate that
the terrible consequences" of re-
moving the tariff exist largely in
the Imagination of those who have
been favored by protection.
