81 Beet Sugar
Plants Running

Sixty-seven beet sugar factories,
as compared with sixty last year, are
now running full time throughout
the beet sugar belt Of the country.
which stretches across the country
from Ohio to California.
Based on preliminary reports as to
acreage and tonnage of beets har-
vested. the total production OF these
factories will approximate 10000
long tons for the campaign, an in
crease of 16 per cent, and a new
high record for the American beet
sugar industry. 1t will exceed the
former record of 1913 by almost
100000 tons.
Last year, shortly after the pas
sage of the Underwood tariff bill.
which contained the provision for
free sugar, eleven beet sugar fac
tories closed down. but since the an
nouncement by the Wilson admins
tration that this provision will be
repealed. seven OF these factories
have reopened.
lhc siAly-oefSu ldCtOIleS HO" rum
ming are scattered over IA states.
Michigan leading with Is. Colorado.
which is first in acreage and output.
comes second with IA factories. Cali
fornia, which is second to Colorado in
production. is third with eleven fac
tories. Utah, with eight. is forth.
While leading in the number of fac
tories, Michigan is fourth in acreage
and tonnage. These are the four
states in which the great bulk of the
beet sugar will be made. The total
tonnage in each is over 100000. Ohio
and Idaho. both important beet grow
ing states. each have four factories
in operation, while Wisconsin ranks
next with three and Nebraska fol-
lows with two. Six states, Kansas,
nois and Indiana, each have a single
factory open.
1t is estimated that the farmers
who grew this years crop will receive
for 1t something like $40,O00,000.
In Colorado alone the sugar beet com
panies will pay out some $4,000 to
farmers and employees this season.
One sugar company will disburse in
Utah and Idaho $1O.60O,0O0. Of
which the beet growers share will
be $6.50O.00O. California farmers
are reported to have received $6.000.-
900 for their crop and about the same
will be paid Michigan growers.
II the present level of prices con-
tinues, the 1916 crop Of beet sugar
will have a value of about 100000
900 when marketed. Had we per-
mitted free sugar to destroy this in
dustry, as Mr.. Spreckles and other
refiners urged, SO they could supply
us with refined foreign grown sugar
at cheaper prices CD our American
farmers and workers would have
been deprived of this much money.
And those who believe the refiners,

Big Tonnage Handled

The Colorado Alfalfa Milling Co..
has ground little over 10000 tons
of hay so far this season and hay is
still coming in at n lively rate. Dur
ing the past week some big loads
have been hauled and one day among
the hay brought in were five loads.
none of which went below 1000
pounds, and one weighed up 8.46O.
The largest individual load this sea-
son was $3.50 pounds. brought In by

Leaf Spot Remedy

An experiment tried on sugar beets
by the government specialist at Rocky
Ford and which is very likely to
prove a success will be OF great in
terest to the growers OF sugar beets
in this valley.
Leaf spot has been the greatest
enemy the growers OF sugar bects
have had to sontend with, and the
experts have been seeking a remedy
for years with but little success. Beet
fields where leaf spot has been found
have suffered materially from retard-
ed growth. short tonnage and low
sugar content.
This year one of the government
men found a field in the Rocky Ford
district that was badly diseased while
the beets were not more than half
grown, and advised the owner to NOW
the tops with a machine as close as
possible to the top of the beets, which
was done. Immediately new tops
started out and before harvesting
time no one could have told by the
appearance of the field that the tops
were the second growth. and there
was. very little II any sign Of laAf
spot. These beets have Just 9b6lbn
harvested. and 1t is found that in
tonnage they are fully equal to the
beets grown near them which were
not affected, and 1t is believed that
the sugar content will run as high.
