The war trade board has issued the
following through its division Of in
formation: .' ,F ~. H
Because Of the fact that shippers of
sugar machinery construed this gem

Collectors have been instructed that

BEET SUGAR PAYMENTS

That enormous sums are paid over by
beet sugar companies is again .corrobo-
rated in the statement Of some Colo.
rado factories that have just paid out
checks to farmers for, beets. Growers
at LoDgmont received $l,25O,O0O for
their beets. At Fort Collins $1,000, 900
will be paid out, These sums 20 way
beyond anything that these factories
have ever paid out, At Longmont the
exchanges report that eighty-two per
cent Of the crop was harvested by the
end of October, Fort Collins reports
that beets tested 1875 percent, which is
ahead Of the average in the United
