members enlisted on their respective
sides. Every member of each side is
missionary to bring new scholars to his
or her own side. ''The fight is on"
Have we hailed and solicited every per-

cient workers? Which will win? Look

1912 TO BE PROSPEROUS YEAR
Such is Prophecy of Those in Touch
With General Conditions

prosperous year.
Alvin T. Steinel. editor Of The South
west Trail, after making tour of in
spection over Colorado, Kansas and Ok
lahoma, says this will be the Vests
billion dollar crop year.
1.-The SHOWS which fell all over east
ern Colorado in December and again in
January, were general throughout the
territory between the Missouri river
and the Rocky mountains. The terri
tory tributary to Denver has been es-
pecially blessed, as the weather has
been cold enough to keep the snow from
melting rapidly. Every drop of mois-
ture has been able to soak in.
1.-THE dry farming region of the great
plains, which suffered 30 severely from
the drought of 1911, coming upon a
year of scant rainfall such as was 1910,
needed just such soaking. The snow
fall was the heaviest in thirty years.
In some sections the drifts in the rail
road cuts were up to the tops of
the coaches. While railroad traffic
was interfered with, and there was
some suffering for q brief period on
account of the cold, people did not COM
plain, because the moisture was god
send. A large acreage has been seeded
to wheat in southwestern Kansas and
western Oklahoma, and as the snow
goes off the wheat is showing up green.
"For eastern Colorado the outlook is
particularly good, if the farmers will
put in the right crops. l understand
that, in some sections, there is need for
seed and the farmers, while they have
not the ready money to buy it, offer
collateral that ought to be acceptable.
With little financial backing of this
sort the dry land farmers of eastern
Colorado will be able to make up during
the coming season for the losses of the
last two lean years.
Walter A. Dixon, vice president and
general manager of the Great Western
Sugar company, says the outlook for
Colorado's sugar beet crop is better
than for several years, and he looks for
a 25 per cent increase in production
over last year. He refers to the pros
poets of snow watering many hundreds
of acres that have been dry for some
time, and hopes to see 10000 to 100, 600
acres in beets in Colorado this year, and
that the nine factories of the Great
Western Sugar company will all be OPP
Grated. There are seventeen beet su-
gar factories in the state, representing
an investment of $19, ,25O, 900.
Five new beet dumps will be erected
in the Loveland district this year, and
in the Longmont district it is expected
the beet acreage this year will be close
to 20, 900, and that more than twice az
many people will be given employment
as were employed last year. Instead OF
a sixty day run at the factory it will be
over hundred days.
This means that larger number of
cattle will be fattened, and there will
also be larger demand for coal from
the mines of Boulder and Weld counties.
The sugar company is paying 25c
per ton more for beets this year than
formerly, sad will also distribute .
number Of cash prizes to beet growers.
C. r. Root, president OF the Flax
Culture Bureau of the Denver Chamber
of Commerce, has called attention to
