A. ). WRIGHT WINNER
Takes IS Prise for Best Dry Land
Corn.

A. J. Wright living about five
miles south of Holly on a dry land
farm was recently awarded the SIS
cash prize offered by the w. T. s.
Brown Land Co. for the best one
dozen ears of corn raised on dry
land in this vicinity last year.
Mr.. Wright has for the past six
years lived in this section and says
he has never failed to raise a good
crop on the unirrigated land. He
came here from Missouri and is a
careful, industrious and pains tax
ing farmer, and to this fact may be
attributed much of his success.
Moreover, Mr.. Wright is sort of
getting the habit of prize winning.
for during the watermelon season
of 1919 he took The Chieftains
prize for the biggest watermelon
and was given q years subscription
to this paper. There may have
been larger watermelOns raised
but the raisers failed to come up
with them.
There are many who are still
stubborn enough to contend that,
Il have lived here for 30 years and
| have never seen any possibility
for the dry lands beyond grazing
cattle" The fact remains, how
ever, that many q homesteader has
made good on this land and that
these dry land farms are selling
for as much as $25 per acre. Not
only that, but where they have
been properly cultivated during
the past two or three years, the
crop raised on the land in a single
season would more than pay the
above price of the land.

Chairman II. V. Clark OF the
price committee asserted that the
new scale of prices will not advance
the price of sugar. Prominent beet
growers insist that it was adopted
solely to give the growers fair
share of the profits when sugar
prices are advanced by the sugar
companies. Whenever retail prices
are lowered the growers will accept
corresponding decrease In the
price paid them for bets.
CONVENTION Accepts New Labor Scais
The convention also accepted the
labor scale offered by 9he sugar
companies, providing for Is per
cent increase to labor in 1920. This
will advance the cost Of cultivation
"a a month an acre. A proposal
from the labor contract committee
to give labor q bonus Of 81 month
for every ton above the average
yield of ten tons an acre was voted
down.
Colorado Beet growers were paid
$40 9 ton for beets by the Great
Western Sugar company in 1919,
and then the company authorized
the payment of q 81 bonus making
the total price $11 q ton. The com
pany recently offered the beet
growers 2 fiat rate Of $12 ton for
1920 beets.
Whether the various state or
CARNATIONS OF beet growers will
stand with the national Organiza-
ton in insisting upon the new
sliding price scale is matter of
conjecture. Thomas FarnsWOrth. of
Windsor, Colo, made strong plea
for the growers to stand by the new
scale,
When we met President William
!. Petrikin of the Great Western
sugar company recently, asked
MN whether he was willing to
split the profits of the sugar beet
industry $3.50 with the beet grow.

BANKERS URGED
TO AID FARMING

CHICAGO. Jan. 3l.-An ap
peal for greater interest in
! agriculture by the bankers
OF the United States was
given out today by Richard
:. Halves, OF st. Louis, presi-
dent of the American Bank
ers' association.
Nothing is more germane
to future happiness of Ameri-
ca and the prosperity of its
bankers than increaked
scientific production on the
farm said Mr.. Halves.
Bankers should lend ey-
cry assistance to the encour-
agement of scientific farming
methods which will bring
proper and adequate re-
turns ON labor and capital
invested.
The bankers must solve
every problem facing the
rural communities because
their prosperity is close to
the whole future of the coun-
try.

CHRONIC CONSTIPATION.

There are people who never have
a movement OF the bowels without
it is produced by a eathartic. Most
of them have brought that eOndi-
ton on themselves by the use of
mineral waters and strong cathart-
les that take too much water out
of the system and aggravate the dis
ease they are meant to relieve. A
mild laxative tonic like Chamber
lain's Tablets AFFORDS a gentle
movement of the bowels that you
hardly realize has been produced
by medicine, and their use is not
so likely to be followed by cOnsti-

for the 1920 crop. George r. Will
son of Lamar, a delegate to the re
cent convention OF the Mountain
States Beet Growers Association
held at Denver, addressed the
meeting and urged all the growers
of this section to join the associa-
tion. The growers demanded $12
per ton minimum price for this
years crop and the cOncensus of
opinion also seemed to favor the
sliding scale, based upon the rise
in the price OF sugar.

Report Of Denver Dslegats.
A number of farmers and beet
growers met last evening at the
High school building and discuss
ed the 1920 beet price. Geo. r.. VIII
son who was delegate to the
Mountain States Beet Growers As
ISOLATION meeting held at Denver
las week, gave an exhaustive and
lengthy report OF the activities of
the meeting held at the state cap
ital.
The general concensus of the
meeting last evening was that the
growers should stand firm on a
price of $500 for 9 cent sugar at
New York and a sliding price of an
additional price. of $1.50 per ton for
each additional raise Of cent per
pound in sugar.
The farmers are organizing along
these lines and it il thought they
will hold out for these advances in
prices. 1t is shown that the cost
of producing beets in the Arkansas
valley is much more than in the
northwest and the farmers are de-
termined to share in what they
term the profits of the sugar
trust"
1t was also decided that the local
organization will affiliate with the
national organization. Lamar
