Prospects for Sugar
Factory Are Looking
Brighter Every Day
Field Man Is Now Busily Engaged In Securing
Legitimate Beet Acrease---Reports Already
Received Prove ENCOURAGING

Prospects for sugar factory
in this section are growing
brighter as the work of the Colo
RADIO Nebraska Beet Growers
association progresses. Last Fri
day night the board of control of
the association met at their Office
in this city with Messrs. A. f..
b5salQaa.4 R...Wlson, c. II.
Watts and Frank Deich present
as members of the board, and
Secretary.Treasurer =. r. Nc
Dowell. Some very important
matters were discussed pertaining
to the progress of the work and
plans were outlined which will
be carried out in legitimate
manner by the board.
This week field man has
been placed iii the field by the
board and already some encour-
aging reports are coming in from
J. H. Brown. who is working in
this capacity. Mr.. Brown is a
thoroughly experienced man in
the sugar beet industry, and is
busily engaged at this time Sc.
curing legitimate beet acreage in
Division No. 4 of the association,
which comprises the territory
east from Julesburg to Ogallala.
Good results are no doubt going
to be obtained from this work
and no time and expense is going
to be spared to make the canvass
a thorough one in the different
divisions of the association.
Besides the services of Mr..
Brown, the board has also en-
ployed !. o. Thistle, of this city,
who is a practical civil engineer.
to commence work at once max
ing surveys and preparing maps
of the five divisions of the terri
tory covered by the association
A complete detail work has been
outlined and Mr.. Thistle has
been instructed to cover the ter
ritory thoroughly. Mr.. Thistle
is we'll acquainted with the Sec
ton of the country III which he
will work, having made numer-
Gus surveys in the territory, and
will no doubt give the board the
information desired along this
line.
Sufficient funds have been ap-
propriated by the board to carry
on this part of the work in an
efficient manner, and there is
going to be no time lost pushing
this work. More than ample
acreage is in sight to warrant the
establishment of a sugar factory
in the territory covered by the
association, and the board is con-
vinced that it is only a matter
now Of getting the acreage in
a facile form. The association
doesn't wish to see a sugar fac
tory established within its terri

tory without ample acreage to
maintain such an institution,
which we are reliably informed
was the case OF the Sterling, TT.
Morgan, and Brush factories when
they were built. These factories
relied upon outside districts to
furnish the necessary tonnage Of
, beets to operate, until the coun.
TRY Tributary to them could be
developed. There is at this time
6,174 acres of legitimate sugar
beet land in the territory listed
by the Great Western Sugar COM
pany as the Julesburg territory.
There was exactly this number
! of acresi in beets this year. When
the above mentioned factories
were built they required 5000
acres to warrant the operation of
these factories.
At the present time the Great
Western Sugar Co. is laying the
foundation for new factory at
Brighton, Colo, and we are in
formed that there are scarcely any
beets grown IN the section around
Brighton at this time, but the
Great Western is building the
factory at that point with the
express purpose Of developing
that territory with the advent of
a factory.
! Besides the present beet acre
age i'll this territory, we have the
large territories of the Big Springs
Brule and Ogallala sections to the
east of us and the most fertile
territory west of us comprising
the Lodgepole valley, to draw
from, and from all indications a
large amount of beet acreage will
be developed in those sections.
The board of control is working
along these lines with dctermi-
nation to get the desired results,
and when the work has been
accomplished they expect to be
in position to offer more than
ample acreage fora sugar factory,
and then it will be up to some
sugar company to come into the
territory and identify themselves
with the people by the erection
Of a home factory. There will
be no wildcat" scheme enter
tanned by the board of control
they are simply going to bring to
light legitimate territory and
acreage which bids fair to bring
forth the evidence that we are
entitled to sugar faetory-and
right soon
| For some unknown reason this
territory has been the drawing
point in the past to aid the oper-
alton of sugar factories at other
places, and our products have
been taken from us to Feather"
industry at other points. Now

JULESBURG is RE.
CEIVING PUBLICITY

Numerous comments have been
coming TO this office from our
neighbors and visitors who at
tended the "Get-Togetller' jub-
lice held i'll Julesburg on Decem-
Der 10, and who attended the
banquet held at the Brown hotel
in connection with the meeting
"a, the court house. AS stated in
our previous issue the banquet
was rendered by the yulesburg
Commercial CLUB, aud every cit
lzen of our city should feel proud
that we have such "a ''live" organ
ization within cur midst. Jules
burg did things up brown" in
entertaining her visitors aud her
hospitality will rot be forgotten
soon by her numerous guests on
that occasion. She has made a
reputation for herself.
We are glad Sto see such a
'.Pull-Together" spirit exist III
our city, and it is going to mean
great results to keep things mov-
ing along the progressive lines in
which We have started. Two
weeks ago committee of two was
appointed to start out with sub
scription paper to raise funds to
aid a most progressive movement
and in the aggregate of $4,000
was raised within u few hours.
We claim that is the right spirit
and full evidence that Jules
burg has left the rear ranks and
is forging ahead at Il most rapid
pace. Just watch things move
along towards goal that means
added prosperity and mutual
benefit to US all. We are proud
of our "Home Town." and the
knocker has either been put to
sleep or is travelling in such fast
company that he don't dare to
"chirp." Julesburg has no room
for the knocker or loater-and
this fact is becoming more evi.
dent;every day.
Our city at tbe EDesentGm Gme j
receiving considerable due pub;
licity over this state us we'll as
other states, which is and will
bring great benefits to us. Big
industry is i'll sight (and not SC
far off, either,) and we are cen
tral'y located in a territory that
is the garden spot of the west
We have big opportunities before
us, and from all indications We
are going to grasp them. Let's
keep the "rull-Together" spirit
alive and not let little factionaI
feelings enter into movement
that means so much for the gen.
eral welfare of our city. If there
ever was time we should view
things in broad and conserva
tive way, it is now, when oppor
tunity is knocking at our dool
read y to open ii with mutua
benefits to all OF us. Again W,
say-let's all pull together"

PREDICT BIG CHERRY CROP
Expert Estimates Door County Will
Ship 1875 Carloads of Fruit
This Year.

Sturgeon Bay = Fruit growers pre-
dict a shipment. of 125 carloads OF
cherries from Door county this year.
This number is about twenty-five
cars more than was shipped in 1915.
While a greater acreage of trees IS
bearing this year than in 1915, the
crop will be lighter This statement
bears out the prediction made by D.
E. Bingham in January to the effect
that the 1916 cherry crop would be
lighter one This condition. accord
ing to Mr. Bingham, will be due to the
fact that during last August and Sep
TENDER there was so much cloudy
weather. He stated that those We're
the two months when cherry trees put
on their growth and cloudy weather
causes lack OF nourishment. The
nuorishment of plant depends upon
evaporation and evaporation depends
upon sunshine.
w. d. Cowherd, one of the newly
employed sales managers of the Door
County Fruit Growers union, predicts
that cherries will sell below $3.50 a
crate this year, possibly mich lower.
but not any higher.

Elippopotami Can Run.

In spite Of its clumsy build, the hip-
popotamus can trot fast. That is why
he was given the name of river-horse.
The hippo's feet are kept far apart by
the wide body and make paths with q
ridge down the middle, SO as to be rec
ognizable at once. They swim WE'LL
but go at their greatest speed when
they can gallop along the bottom in
shallow water. They can stay under
water long time, and when they come
to the surface they send little jets Of
spray from their nostrils. The COW is
devoted to the calf. The young one
stands on her back as the mother
swims
