PREVENTION OF DAMAGE TO SUGAR
e BEETS BY GRASSHOPPERS o.

Inc ehopperdozer is constructed as follows:
A piece of sheet iron 8 feet IN length by
or 2H feet in width is used as the
basis. Six inches of the edges of this piece
should be turned UP, of which inches
should be turned ever the pan to keep the
liquid from stopping. Partitions should
be soldered in the pan 2 feet apart. One
to of these hopperdozers should be set
on light sled. placing them end to end
with piece Of oilcloth 2 feet high. smooth
side forward. attached to upright pieoss
at the back of the pan. A horse or team
should be hitched at each end Of the ap-
paratus. Two inches of water should be
placed in each compartment Of the 'dozer'
and sufficient kerosene or distillate poured
on the surface Of the water to form a
film over it. As the "dozsr" is drawn
ahead the "hoppers" jump up. and large
numbers fall back into the pan and are
killed by the oil. The dead grasshoppers
may be removed at intervals with a
shovel. and more water and oil added. 1t
may be necessary to go over an infested
area or times with the hopperdozer in
order to prevent injury. In the case of
young beet fields it is desirable to place
the sleds or runners at such distance
apart as to track between the rows.
Land adjacent to sugar beets, and to
forage and other crops. especially alfalfa.
affords excellent pasturage for grasshop-
pers. which. When the crop is cut. are
driven to feed upon the young sugar beets.
10 such case the insects may be con-
troled as follows: When cutting down
the standing crop swathes should be left
about 20 yards apart, the hay beng re-
moved Immediately. Standing strips
should be sprayed wite 5 pounds arsenite
Of soda in 100 gallons of water. or ]
pound of Paris green in SO gallons Of
water. The hoppers will thus be driven
to the poisoned strips for forage. where
they will be killed by the poison.
II the insects are present in surround
ing land it will be well to protect young
sugar bssts by sowing poisoned bait at
intervals of about days. along the edge
Of the field. A little watehfulness at this
time will often prevent the entire destruo-
ton Of a field Of sugar beets.

THAT THE PEOPLE MAY BE ADVISED
Head Chemist at A. B. S. Co. Factory Replies
to Congressman Keating

Hon Edward Keating, Congressman
from Colorado. House of Represents
tives. Washington. d. C.
Dear Sir:
1t is with mere or less regret that
1 find 1t necessary to write you in
the following vein, but, in view OF
the vital Importance of the subject
to the people of Colorado, the peo
pie you pre- sumably represent in Con
gress, the erroneous and unfair state
ments you make. regarding tn esu
gar industry and the effect of the
tariff on that industry, cannot &c
unchallenged..
You have stated that sugar can be
manufactured in Col RADIO for s2.70
per hundred pounds and the prevail.
ing prices pad to the farmers for
beets could be continued. In your
last repetition of this statement in
the pre- s, you quail fled this by add
ing that such factories must be pro-
perly located. Presumably, when the
factories in the Arkansas valley are
closed, due to free sugar, the argu-
ment will be that they were i'm
properly located.
Mr.. Keating. you are in the wrong
business. If you can make sugar for
$2.70 per hundred in Colorado, with
prevailing beet prices. you will be
doing the country and yourself far
greater service by engaging in the
beet sugar business than you are in
your present work.
The beet sugar manufacturers will
be delighted, Mr. Keating, If you
will show them in figures the cost
of the various items that go to make
sugar at $2.70 per hundred. For
your benefit, however, 1 want to
state that it is a physical impossi-
b.lity to manufacture sugar in Colo
RADIO, paying prices for beets such
as are paid in the Arkansas valley,
for $2.70 per hundred.
l will not go into detail on this
subject; the burden of proof rests
with you. But, wish to say this,
my nineteen years of experience In
beet sugar manufacture and my good
fortune of having been able to study
production costs both in this coun
try and in Germany, enable me to
know what l am speaking of when
discussing sugar and the sugar tar
iff. FMrtherfore, l am not now noa
never have been in the employment
of the sugar trust, and do not now,
nor have l ever owned dollar
worth of stock in n beet sugar fac
tory. And another thing; / am rath-
er of the opinion that the men in
the sugar business will average up
with the rest Of mankind when II

The trip will be taken on Saturday
June 28th. and the party will leave Rocky
Ford at 8 a. m. and will be in Swinl
from $3.50 to 8:45. in La Junta from e:ls
to 10. in Sugar City from ll:3o to l2

where dinner will be taken. Olney Springs
2:45 to 8. Fowler from $3.50 to 4, Man
zanola 4:45 to Sis. and will arrive
home at o'clock.
Already several Of the business men,
who have automobiles. have announced
their intention of accompanying the band
on the trip. and it will be an excellent op-
portunity for the merchants to get ac-
quainted with the business men in this
part of the valley.
As to the program for the Fourth. ev-
erything points to the best line of attrae-
tons ever presented at any entertainment
Of the kind given In this city.
The three best horses in the county
are already entered in the race and more
to come, and the ball games between La
Junta, Manzanola and the local team will
be well worth the price Of admission.

Sugar beets. celery. and other truck
and garden crops are being seriously in
jured by grasshoppers in the West. in
most cases unnecessarily. since the in
seots are readily controlled by proper
measures If employed at the proper time.
Young sugar beets. particularly. are sus-
ceptible to injury at this time. The follow
ing directions will materially assist in
controlling these pests where sufficiently
abundant to cause injury:
The application Of a poisoned bait is an
effective means for the control of these
insects. 1t should be employed on their
first appearance, when possible. Tns
method of preparation Of this bait is as
follows: Mix. while still dry, 20 pounds
of bran with pound of Paris green in a
washtub. Make it into mash with 81
gallons of water in which has been stirred
one-half gallon of cheap sirup and the
finely chopped pulp and juice of an orange
or lemon.
Sow this bait thinly by hand. The
amount prepared by using 20 pounds Of
brand should treat or S acres. Care
should be taken to sow the bait between
daybreak and o'clock in the morning.
or after 6 o'clock in the evening. since 1t
is not eaten by grasshoppers after be-
coming dry. As rain washes off the poi
son, the bait should never be sown when
there is prospect Of rain before the
following noon.
In badly infested fields this bait.may be
applied 2 or times. at intervals Of about
2 days. After the injury by grasshoppsrs
has been checked the bait may be sown
on strip 2 or rods wide. around the
edges of the infested field. in case the in
sects are present in neiRhboring fields
Should a sufficient supply of choppers"
again make their way into the field to an
injurious extent, the entire field should be
again treated with the bait,
Any other crops or waste land adjoin-
ing beet fields. infested by grasshoppsrs.
can be treated with safety to live stock IL
care is taken to apply the bait thinly.
Utensils used in its preparation should
also be kept away from live stock. and
the bait should not be applied in heaps.
Another effective control measure is
the use Of a hopperdozer. When large
fields are badly infested with grasshop-
pers this method Is extremely effective.

UTo'AccIDENr
Causes Severe Injuries to Rocky
Ford Party

While on the way home. last Sunday

family and Mrs. Nixon's mother. Mrs.
Lawless. the big machine, while under
the temporary guidance of Mrs. Nixon,
skidded in sandy place in the road and
as Mr.. Nixon grabbed the steering wheel
to assist his wife, the two caused the car
to swerve SO sharply that it was thrown
upon its side.
All of the occupants. excepting Mrs.
Nixon. were thrown clear. but the latter
was caught and pinned to the ground by
the car when it turned turtle. Mrs. Law
lss was thrown several feet and so pain
fully injured that she was unable to come
to the assistance of her son-in-law, who
was straining every muscle to lift the car
so that his wife might crawl from under.
But the best he could do was to relieve
his wife of the weight of the machine
until his young son could summon assist
ance from nearby house.
The injured women were taken to COL
orado Springs, where it was found that
no bones had been broken in the accident,
and after having their wounds dressed
they were able to return home. making
the trip by train.

rINISTER HUNTS TREASURE
With Map nade Twenty Years Ago
Expects to Find Lost Bonanza.

Rocky Ford friends of Rev. Thurlow.
who left here for La lara. Colo. few
months ago. will be interested in the fol-
lowing press dispatch from that place on
Friday last:
"In search of a fabulously rich gold
mine, said to have been discovered twenty
years ago and lost, a treasure-hunting
expedition headed by the Rev. A. C
1hurlow, local minister. left here today
equipped for a months prospecting. The
minister has rough map which is sup
posed to give the location Of the mine or
Mount Blanca.
The tradition Of the country has it tha,
a prospeotor discovered this mine twenty
years ago. and after taking out several
sacks of high-grade returned to the East
for visit and to bring out some of his
relatives to share in his good fortune
While in the East he died.
Frequent efforts TO locate the mine
were made at the time. but the prospeo-
tor had told no one of its location. and il
gradually became one of the traditions oil
the country talked about among the ole
mining men.
The Rev. Mr.. Thurlow recently came
in possession Of map made by the pros
pector and supposed to give the location
of the mine. Accompanied by J. J. Buel
and George Seeley. two expert mining
men. he left today to make systematic
search for the lost bonanza
The map was prepared by the prospec-
tor just few days before his death and
was drawn from memory. 1t is rough
and vague. but gives a good general idea
Of the location of the mine. and with it
the fortune seekers hope to find mine
that will make them as famous as Death
Valley Sootty."

, comes to truthfulness and veracity.
| You asked why this country could
not compete with the world on the
| sugar market, with the sugar duty
free, If Germany could.
The reasons given you evaded, SO
they will be repeated.
Sugar in Germany is not duty free.
Wages in German sugar factories
| are about one-third OF those pad
in Colorado factories.
The manufacturers in the Arkansas
valley pay about $500 per ton more
for beets of similar sugar content
| than do the German sugar manufac-
turers.
You quote certain figures as to the
price paid for beets in Germany, OBJ
tanned from Mr., Hardwick, who OBJ
tanned them from Mr.. LIGHT. You
do not state to what these figures
refer.
Is it not true that these figures re-
fer to the metric ton in use in Ger
many, which is equal to 1900 Ameri-
can pounds? Is it not also true that
these figures include freight. which
the farmer pays in Germany. where
as. in Colorado, the manufacturers
pay the freight? Is it not true that
this figure also includes all addition
al payments for siloing charges?
The following figures, taken from
the German Imperial Bureau OF
Statistics, show the price paid fol
beets. This refers to beets bought
from growers who are not interested
as stockholders in the factories:
Per 1000 pound ton
1909-10 S4.73.
1901 4.S6.
1911-12 5.42.
In 1911 the beet crop of Germany
was almost a total failure, sugar
prices abnormally high, and an alb,
normally high price for beets was
the result. For the season of 1928
and the coming season. the basis of
payment is again between $4.75 and
$500 per ton.
The basis of payment for beets to
German farmers for this season is
between 2.20 Marks and 2.30 Marks,
per 100 Kilos, which, translated into
American weights and money. means
from S4.74 to $3.50 per ton of 1000
pounds.
You will ask fer proof of this state
ment. If you were studying the su-
gar situation as you should-in view
of the fight you are making on this
industry-you would know that this
is common knowledge in the indus
try, but. If you desire first hand

A SAD TALE
Las Anlmas Hoodoo Again In Evi.
dence and Locals Defeated

The largest crowd of the season turned
out last Sunday to see the old-time rivals,
Las Animas and Rocky Ford, fight it out
on the diamond. and the visitors. by out
playing the locals generally. were returned
viotors by a score of to 2.
The game was pitchers battle be-
tween Rosendahl and Galgano, with hon
ors about even, but Las Animas gave
their hurler errorless support, while the
Rocky Ford defense faltered at the acid
test, five Of the visitors runs coming
across after chances had been offered to
retire the side runless.
The trouble started in the first frame
when. with two down. Swink booted
Clarke roller and solid single by Kra-
mer and scratch infield hits by Lomasney
and E. Love sent two men across the
counting station.
In the fifth. singles by Galgano and
Clark. with tumble by Goblin, and slow
work bv Hall on runner at home, all
lowed two more to register.
In the ninth session the real fireworks
look place.
Yant muffed Turner's easy fly, and
when Johnson laid down bunt. Rosen-
dahl got his wires crossed. and when he
came out Of 1t all hands were safe.
johnson stole second and both scored
on Galgano's sacrifice fly to Yant. when
Hall let throw get away from him at
home.
The locals opened up heavily on GAL
Rano in the first inning and put two
across on doubles by Yant and Goblin and
single by R. Swink.
Several chances for scoring presented
themselves during the game. but faulty
base running by the locals killed off all
further scoring.
