PLANT FOR VICTORY"
IS HO0veR'S WAR CRY
TO SUGAR BEET MEN

Colorado is up to bat again.
This fine the state is facing q
shortage in the production of sug-
ar beets, and unless she hits the
ball by planting larger sugar
beet acreage than ever before Vic
tory will swing in the balance
with Defeat.
The price paid the growers last year
for sugar beets was $7.25 q ton. This
year federal food commission COM
posed of representative growers and
manufacturers made flat rate of $40
ton. This rate was decided upon.
not to increase the price of sugar to
the consumer or to enrich the grower.
but to encourage the planting Of sugar
beets and decrease the danger OF
sugar shortage In 1919.
The importance of increasing Colo
radios sugar beet production during
the coming year was emphasized by
telegram received by the Colorado
Food Administration April IL, from
Herbert Hoover. federal food admins
traitor.
The telegram read in part:
AT the request of the sugar beet
growers, the Food Administration.
through the inquiry of various COM
missions undertook to use its best Of
nces to secure price for beets which
would return fair profit to growers
throughout the beet regions.
The factories having agreed to pay
the prices recommended and upon 3
basis much higher than was before re-
ceived by the growers. and in accord
with the demands Of the majority of
growers I do trust that the growers
will support the nations sugar supply
by enlarged planting.
Our shortage of shipping and the
necessities of the allies make larger
demands upon our domestic sugar
next year than ever before and the
maintenance of our own industry il
primary not only to the well-being OF
the growers but the nation as .
whole"
The fact that the land owners In
beet sections receive one-fourth OF the
gross proceeds OF the beet crop, which
on the basis of sixteen-ton yield
would mean $40 per acre, ia counted
on to influence landlords to continue
to raising beets.
