OUTS AROUSE BEET GROWERS
Sugar Companies Say New Tariff
Compels Lower Prices

Larned. Feb. l7.-The first or
ganized remonstrance of sugar beet
growers OF the Arkansas valley
against the new contract Of the 81.
gar companies of eastern Colorado
and western Kansas developed when
the Las Animas, Colo, Commercial
club appointed delegates to meet
with representatives OF the sugar
companies for a conference on the
new 1914 contract.
The sugar companies have with
out exception reduced the contract
price of raw beets from $3.50 to IS
per ton for beets testing up to 16
per cent sugar content. A charge of
rs cents per ton will also be made
to growers who have their pulp re-
turned. Growers say the reduction
will average about $1.12 under last
years contract, and are threatening
to reduce the acreage materially.
The sugar companies say the re-
duction is made necessary by the
new tariff law; that they are Civ
ing the best contract terms they can
afford; that the 1915 contract will
necessarily be still more unfavor-
able. and that the removal Of the
tariff In 1915 will immediately
force them out of business alto
gether. Should the predictions of
the sugar men prove correct, the
