Farmers File rrotest.


Denver, Oct. 18.-Charging that low
prices paid the producers and chile
labor employed by foreigners have driv-
en- near all farmers, except the foreign
element, out of the Colorado beet sugar
industry, an appeal from growers to
Herbert Hoover to fix the price paid
to farmers for sugar beets, is today on
its way to Washington.
The letter, signed by Thomas Park,
president of the Fort Morgan Farmers
union; J. M. Collins, president of the
State Farmers union, and j.. A. Hicks,
president of the Rocky Mountain States
Sugar beet Growers association, de-
elares that a terrible tragedy is be-
ing enacted here"
"We are sure that you are totally
unaware of it, or some effort would
have been advanced; but now that you
know, we feel that some effort will be
made by you,' says the letter.
Taking the Great Western Sugar com
pany which handles the bulk of the
crop of this section, as an example, the
appeal gives production figures to show
that sugar companies make a net pro-
fit of $226.40 from each acre of beets,
while the farmer averages 81 profit
per acre.
The huge Liberty loan purchases of
the Great Western and other sugar com
panies are commended and the letter
adds:
eve are only human and we feel that
same surging impulse to support our
country in her time of need. Cannot you
make it possible for us to come more
closely into possession of what we would
deem a more equitable division of the
profits in this great industry, that we
may also purchase Liberty bonds and
share in the supreme glory of respond
ing to our eountry's eall2''
Warning that Thomas B. Stearns, food
controller for Colorado, is noN building
a beet sugar factory, the farmers point
out that his interests care directly op-
posite to those of the farmer and warn
Hoover in case he decides to investi-
gate the situation, to secure his data
from unbiased sources.
The Great Western Sugar company,
in addition to its regular quarterly div
idend of l "a per cent on common stock,
has declared three extra dividends of
10 per cent each, amounting to $4,5OO,-
600, already this year.

will be plenty of sweetness not only for
the United States, but for her allies dur
ing the next few months, if the house
wives keep their heads.
But if the housewives become panic
stricken and begin buying sacks of
sugar just on the chance there is going
to be a shortage, then there will be
trouble ahead.
That is the opinion of a leading west
ern sugar dealer expressed here today.
tgsHThere is no reason to believe that
the sugar yield will be below normal
this year, he declared. ''The beet
sugar supply of tie western states will
keep the west supplied. There may be a
little pinch in the east until the Cuban,
Hawaiian and other cane crops are ON
the market"

will arrive. Acute famine feared.
Boston-Price 10 IL cents; sugar
scarce; sales restricted. @
The far west and the Pacific coast
was practically the only general section
of the country not affected by the short
age. Reports from these sections follow:
San Francisco-No shortage here. One
big dealer said sugar crops this summer
normal Hawaiian crop uepends entirely
on weather. F.
Denver-Retail sugar beet prices
1906 per hunuredwefgnr; cane, $S.45.
New crop from Greeley district just
coming ON market and supply plentiful.
Portland, Or.-Sugar prices wholesale,
from So to $3.50. Market not unusually
short and no restriction on purchases.
Confec.loners have Deen particularly
hard hit by the shortage. Until recent
ly they were operating "a hours a day.
Now they are working eight hours, and
with c~urtailed forces.
Packers also are Keeling the effects
of the shortage. Ordinarily, the cheap
est grades of sugar are used by them.
Recen sly, a packer bought an entire car
load Of the highest priced table sugar
ON the market-the only available then
and broke open the packages to use
it in mincemeat.
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh both re
ported no apparent shortage as yet, with
prices not unduly nigh.
'sThe refiners cannot get the raw
material here" said n of the big
gest producers in NeY York today to
the United Press.
"We have closed down entirely now
because raw sugar is simply not on the
the Market" reported the Warner
Sugar refining company.
Other authorities said the new crop
will not begin to come in until the md
die of November-and then the western
beet sugar is relied upon to help out.
The Louisiana crop is reported normal
and it will be the first a sugar crop
on the market. -,
Cuba IS er,p will not be ready until
about December Is. The present refin-
ers' price for sugar is $685. per humid
redweight.
The normal margin for sugar hano-
ling is about a cent and a half a pound.
Where sugar refiners today protest
ed they were ''up against it" was the
beet sugar men 5 agreement with the
food administration not to pay more
than $7.25 per hundredweight at sea-
board to produce first. This, the re-
Timers saw, eompels the cane reflners
70 buv at tine same price, otherwise
thew cannot compete with beet prices.

ter and Egg association convention,
which closed its sessions here last
night.
They explained that the war has
forced feed prices so high that turkey
producers can't afford to raise the
birds-so the dealers will have to raise
the prices.
No one would venture an opinion as
to just how much higher turkeys would
be this year, but they were unanimous
that the price would be ''several
cents" more a pound than last year,
when Chicago dealers paid 81 cents a
pound, wholesale. Turkeys are now %
to 33 cents a pound and there are So
more shopping days before Thanks
giving,
Then, too, American soldiers have got
to have their turkey dinner, regardless.
So this huge inroad into the supply is
going to have its effect on prices also.

Housewives Feel Pinch.

New York, Oct. 1s.-New York house
wives felt the first pinch of war on
their food supplies today when they
found it impossible to buy large quantl-
ties of sugar.
Many dealers refused to sell more
than one pound to any one individual,
Other groe,rs set the limit at two
pounds, but refused to sell until 81
worth of other goods was taken, Retail
ers demanded 10 cents q pound for
sugar in many instances.
Dealers declared they were unable
to get 9 from the refiners and pre-
dieted acute shortage by the end OF the
week.
Housewives who tried to lay in a
good sugar supply by going from store
to store and buying the maximum al
.lowanee of two pounds, found groeers
refusing to. sell any sugar whatsoever
except to regular customers.

The equality of nations upon which

must be an equality OF rights; the
guarantees exchanged must neither

anything more than an equality OF

And there is deeper thing involved
than even equality OF right among or
