Growers Realize Great Profit at Close
of Campaign Lasting For 122
Days.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Longmont, Colo-The longest sugar
making campaign in the history of the
Longmont factory has ended, after a
run of 122 days.
During the campaign 24S,9S5 tons of
beets were sliced, from which $500
bags of sugar were made. In the op-
Grafton 10000 tons of coal were used
and 1880 tons of lime rock.
During the 122 days 500 men were
given employment, with a payroll of
100000 and an additional $4,000 as
bonus to those who remained
throughout the campaign.
The beet acreage for 1913 was the
largest ever raised in this section, be-
ing nearly 1900 acres.
From their crop the growers re-
ceived $1,200,000, and added to the pay
roll, bonus and labor at the dumps,
brings the total amount paid out by
the sugar company in this section to
approximately $1,5O0,OO0
The season was most successful and
the prosperity this section is enjoying
is due in large measure to the beet
sugar industry. The growers all rea-
lized a good profit, and the large pay
roll, every two weeks, kept plenty of
money in circulation and acted as an
impetus to all lines of business.
The cattle feeding industry has as
sumed large proportions as a result of
the big supply of beet pulp, 20, 500 head
being conditioned for market on the
farms around Longmont.
Much uneasiness is felt over the
prospects of the coming year The
announcement of reduction in the
price of beets by the sugar company
is being discussed on all sides, and
while a number of farmers have de-
clared that they will not raise beets
at the lower price, others have de-
cided to sign the new contracts and
take advantage of the recommends
ton of the sugar company that, the
price paid for tending the crop be re-
duced. 1t is believed that sufficient
acreage will be signed to operate the
factory next season.

ARRANGE FOR
OF
BIG EXHIBIT

Flans for financing the Sports
mans Show, to be held in Tacoma
next February, are being arrang-
ed this afternoon at a meeting of
the Washington State Game Pro-
tective & Propagation association
in the office of r. B. Mason, sec
rotary of the association.
If the show is held as planned
at present, there will be a heavy
expense. Should the weather be
disagreeable on the three days of
the show, receipts might not equal
the expenses, and directors of the
show would have to make up the
deficit.
Today's meeting is called to
formulate some plan by which the
directors can be sure Of no finan.
cial distress in connection with
the exhibition.

BY HUGH s. FULLERTON.


Jimmy Ryan is to coach the
University of Indiana baseball
team, and, If there is any mate
rial down there, the western con-
ference colleges would better
watch the Hoosiers in the spring.
Ryan was trained in the smart
est baseball school ever known,
and, with few exceptions, he knew
more baseball and played it better
than any man that ever has play
ed the game. Even among such
mcn as Mike Kelley, Tommy
Burns, Ed Williamson, Fred PIER
fer and Walter Wilmot, Ryan was
recognized as one of their peers,
and in many ways he was smart
er than any of them.
Ryan has one remarkable rec
old. He played on the Chicago
club for ten years without a con-
tract of any sort and fulfilled
every verbal agreement. One sea-
son we came home from a trip,
and Jim drew his check. He
looked at it curiously, tossed 1t
over to Jim Hart, the president,
and remarked: ''How's that, Jim.
Isn't ii too much?" No." re-
marked Hart, Il raised you $3.50
this year,
1t was May at that time and
Ryan hadn't even inquired.
There never has been in base
bail, not even excepting Tommy
Mccarthy, any outfielder who

could throw as quickly and as ac-
curately as could Ryan.
One of the funniest things I
ever saw on a ball field resulted
from Ryan's habit of shooting to
first. BLACK Bill" Clark hit a
sharp line drive to right. He was
very slow and Ryan leaped for
ward, grabbed the ball on the
first bounce and flashed 1t like a
rifle shot to first base. It arrived
there twelve feet ahead of the
runner. But Arson was standing
on the bag, his back to right field
AMI the ball struck him squarely
in the back and dropped dead.
Arson threatened to. fine Ryan,
aud accused him of trying to show
him up.

There viii be no big races in
Europe next summer, on account

For that reason, we expect to
get even more famous racers for
the Tacoma Speedway nextzyear

After attending the California
races, the local Speedway repre-
sentative will probably also go to,
the Indianapolis race, to sign up
some of the racers there who are
not appearing on the coast. The
Speedway has been kept in good
condition this winter, and will be
in excellent shape for next sum-
mer's races.
