THIRD OF BEET CROP
GROWN IN U. S., RAISED BY
COLORADO FARMERS.
Annual Tield In Centennial State Is
Enough to Supply 5,550,oo0
People for One Year.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Colorado fields last year
produced nearly one-third of the beet
sugar refined in the United States,
yielding enough to supply 5,500,0OO
people for a year, according to re-
port made public by the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Colorado factories produced 229.274
tons of sugar from 1,Si0,653 tons OF
beets. The total production of the ma
ton was 733,4O1 tons of sugar. Colo
rado led all beet.sugar states, Cali
fornia ranking next. with production
about three-fourths as great as Colo
radios.
The 1918 production in the nation
and in Colorado, too, was the greatest
in the history OF the industry. Beets
were harvested from l6S,410 acres in
Colorado. the average yield being
1893 tons to the acre. The average
price to growers was s5.67 a ton. the
average price to the acre being s6l.97.
The price was 29 cents ton less than
in 1912, but l2 cents a ton above the
price in 1911.
Each ton of Colorado beets yielded
249 pounds of sugar In 1913, against
263 in 1912 and 261 in 1911.
The return per acre to the growers
Of beets in 1913 was as follows, ac-

doubt If any accurate census
OF these parasitic members of

ever be taken. For they are every

They swarm about the places chiefly
frequented by tourists. Every ruin
has at least one human wreck in at
tendance near the 'ingresso," while a
church without one beggar on the
steps, another at the door and perhaps
still another Just within the portal,

OF the total domestic production of
sugar in the United States in the past
three years, II per cent was beet
sugar and 29 per cent cane. This has
no reference to production in the coun-
try's insular possessions.
Colorado ranked fifth among all the
states in the country, June l, in the
condition of twenty-three crops re-
ported upon by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The greatest gain made by any state
in the union was in Kansas where the
crop average was placed atll22.9 COM
pared with the ten.year average. Cali
fornia. Mississippi and Nebraska were
the three other states whose crop con.
ditions exceeded Colorado's on June /.
The crops included in this report
were winter wheat, apples, alfalfa,
sugar beets, barley. hemp, pears. rye,
peaches. ,raspberries, cantaloupe.
spring wheat. lima beans, hay. oats.
blackberries-all of which were 100
per cent-and above the ten-year aver
age, pasture, onions, cabbage. water.
melons. sugar cane, clover and cotton.
all slightly under 100 per cent.
Government reports give an in
crease of almost si2,000000 over 1913
for the 1914 hay, rye, barley, wheat
and oat crop In Colorado. A 40 per
cent increase is estimated for the
states corn and sugar beet crop.
