Dpen Letter from National
Sgar Manufacturing Co. to
Its Farmers Of the County

Western and American companies, Is
that while our plant has a capacity OF
seventy thousand tons we can't aver
age a supply of over forty thousand
tons, notwithstanding the fact that we
grow large acreage each year on
our own lands.
For example, we have in sight now.
II your committee continues to advise
farmers not to sign contracts with us,
less than forty-five hundred acres.
We really need between six and seven
thousand acres if we are to be for a
moment classed with other Colorado
companies.
know from your treatment of me
last night that you will not take it
amiss II I repeat what l said last
night that II there was some way of
bringing about better understanding
and better spirit of mutual conf
dence and cooperation between our
Company and the Ordway- Olney far
mers, such as exists between the far
mers of Sugar City and our Company
we could be vastly more useful to
each other.
You were good enough to admit
that had proved myself reasonably
good citizen" of Crowley. county and
that l was entitled to the confidence
and good will which reasonably
good citizen could claim, and in that
spirit l hope that you and your asso-
citaes will conclude that it is not
against your business interests and
welfare to cooperate with Mr.. Wad-
lington in obtaining contracts for us.
l frankly said to your committee on
Saturday night that could not guar
antee to either my own company or
to our farmers that we would get
even six dollars bag for our sugar
If could there would be no hesita-
tion In meeting your views-but am
willing to say that there is reasonable
ground for believing that we have
fixed on a contract which will give a
higher price to our farmers for their
beets than any contract which has
been put out by any sugar company in
the United States.
AS l assured your committee we
will gladly cooperate in any reason
able plan for the appointment of a
farmers representative for the COM
ing campaign.
Believe me with kind regards,
Faithfully yours,
Francis King Carey,
President.
