LaSaHe Farmers Turn Out in Rain
To Discuss New Sugar Factory Plan

would be a good thing for the farm
ers to put up certain farm acre
age as security and own the factory.
At any rate the farmers will have .
representation in the management
of the factory and several will be-
come stockholders in the company.
Each farmer is putting up twenty
cents an acre for his pledged acre
age for promotion expenses and all
are enthusiastic. George Briggs,
who was foremost in securing acre
age for the Great Western Sugar
factory at Greeley nine years ago.
says he worked harder then to get
a man to sign five acres for beet
growing than he is doing now to
secure 100 acres for the Indepen-
dent factory Many of the farmers
have told the committee that they
will increase their pledges II tho
factory is secured. 1t looks very
much as If sufficinet acreage would
be secured here to insure q factory
in LaSalle operating entirely on tho
tonnage grown in this locality alone.
The committee has called a meeting
for tonight to arrange further for
soliciting az soon as the roads arc
better. Committees in other parts
Of the county will start work this
week.

person or persons shall contribute

Lasalle, May 13.-Notwithstand-
ing the rain of Saturday night one
hundred farmers gathered at Fra
ternity hall with the local Farmers
Union and the Chamber OF Com
merce, heard the report of the beet
acreage soliciting committee for the
proposed Independent sugar fac
tory and learned that 4SOO acres
had already been signed for the new
factory in the immediate vicinity OF
IaSalle The committee consisting
of George Briggs, ]. C. Hicks and
R. B. Carpenter say that the 2OO
acres necessary to make the 5000
acres on which amount the new fac
tory may be secured is practically
pledged and that 1t is sure OF get
ting 5000 acres in this locality. II
such prove to be the case it ID likely
that LaSalle will have its own fac
tory and that three or four other
factories will go up in the county
as Ward barley says it will be
easier to secure funds to build that
many than for one factory only. A
factory having 800 tons capacity
can be built for 100000.
At the meeting Saturday night
the farmers discussed different
methods Of financing the project.

Mr.. Horace Havemeyer, The Ameri-
can Land G. Irrigation Exposition

best sugar beets grown in the Unit
ed States and exhibited at the ex-
position in New York this fall. Each
exhibit to consist of five CD beets

A cash prize of 500 in gold for
the best beets grown in Colorado,

also offered for the best beets grown
I in California, Oregon, Washington
or Arizona; and another 500 in

Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio or New
1 York
And for the best sugar beets
! grown in any of these states,
splendid silver cup valued at $3.50
is to be awarded as grand sweep
stakes prize.
AS stated above, these prizes are
donated to the exposition by Mr..
Havemeyer, the 500 in gold coin
being ouered to the dlHefent groups

We hope that all of the growers

in these prizes and enter the con-
test AS you all know, beets grown
in Weld county won the $1,000 cup
at this exposition last year for the
best beets grown in the United

become a habit with us.
Ii you wish to enter this contest

ley. Yery truly yours.

Mr.. Gilmore said the stock range is
better In his section this season than
ever before since he first located his
claim, and stock is fat as butter, and
at the prevailing prices the stock
raiser is jubilant. The rains have
come just right to keep the grass in
