SWEDEN ASKED
FOR INFORMATION
TABRIZ INCIDENT

Washington, June @5.-Another in
curry has been sent to Sweden by the
American government asking for in
formation concerning the reported
seizure of the American consulate and
lootinS of an American hospital by
Turkish troops at Tabriz. Persia. II
was disclosed today that the state
department already had asked the
Swedish government to report the
facts as quickly as possible and had
addressed d similar request to the
Spanish government.
If the report as received by the de-
partment from the American minister
at Tehran last week is confirmed, 1t
probably will mean declaration Of a
state Of war with Turkey. Officials
said today there was no disposition to
blame the Stockholm and Madrid
foreign office for delay in reporting IN
the incident. as it was taken for
granted the trouble was in Constaa-
tinople.

aede Meney In sug.r Bsets.

Prowers county beet growers re-
ceived their final checks from the
American Beet Sugar company this
week and the banks have been very
busy in consequence While the
beet acreage was limited this year,
the crop grown WAS above the aver
age, and those who were fortunate
enough to have beets planted made
an excellent profit. Il. A. Lamper
was probably the most successful
grower in this section. he had ~
acres which averaged 20 tons to the
acre. H. E. Bullock of Bristol. plant
ed IL acres of sugar beets rs an ex-
pertinent this year and realized q
clear profit of more than SlOO an
acre. With such excellent returns
in the various sections OF the cOun-
ty for the present season 1t is prob
able that there will be large in
crease in the sugar beet acreage
next year If the present prices are
maintained. The sugar companies
have not yet sent out their con-
tracts for next season. as they are
waiting to ascertain If the govern
lnent will regulate sugar prices for
another year as was done in tine

Records Of Soldiers.

Colorado, through the state his
torical and natural history society,
and with the aid of the provost
marshal and OF the Is daft boards,
is obtaining an authentic, official
list of every man Of draft age who
enlisted or has been inducted into
service. This is the foundation of
further records, including photo
graphs, letters and history of Colo
RADIO men, q record that is proper
source of pride to every citizen.

FIGURES TELL THE STORY.


Nine million dollars was distributed among
the farmers of northeastern Colorado for sugar
bects, November 10th. When the whole crop OF
beats is harvested farmers will have received more
money for the 1918 crop than for the 1917 CROP but
while they have received more money they will
have produced less sugar.
The tonnage per acre may be slightly over
last year, but the acreage being harvested is APP
proxmately twenty per cent less.
The average beet price i'll 1917 in northeast
ern Colorado was seven dollars and thirty-five
cents per ton. The average yield was twelve tons,
yielding the farmer eighty weight dollars and twen-
ty cents per acre gross. The price Of ten dollars
this year on the same basis would yield one hum
dred and twenty dollars per acre gross.
From these figures it appears that farmers
received more for the beet crop this year than
they did last year. but Colorado will have produced
approximately twenty per cent less sugar.
The foregoing facts apply with equal force
to many sections and should result in largely in
creased beet acreage for 1919 if the beet sugar in
dustry Of the west is to prosper and develop from
on in competition with foreign fields.
