A private letter to one of our
citizens contains the information
that the farmers in the Loveland
district have signed contracts to
grow 1900 acres of sugar beets
for the coming season. When it

demonstrated its right to be on
earth, and that the growers are
falling over each other to get into
the "band wagon"
