The National Beet Growers As
sociation held a meeting in Denver
last week and the following is the
summary of the action taken as
to beet prices for the coming season
A sliding scale of prices for sugar
beets ranging from $12 to $21 per
ton according to the seaboard refined
sugar prices, was adopted for the en-
tire country.
The minimum of $12 is based on
9-cent sugar, and fo- each advance OF
/ cent in the sugar price. the beet
growers demand an additional $1.50
per ton of beets. The basis is now
laid for negotiations with the Great
Western Sugar Company, which Of
fered a flat rate of $12 per ton.
Growers in other states. as we'll, will
present the scale to their respective
factories. While the national organ
the various state organizations may
compromise with .le sugar COM
panies on lesser price in case
deadlock is reached.
The demand of the Mountain States
Sugar Beet Growers association was
more than the scale adopted in the
convention, which In itself repre-
scented a compromise reached by
representatives from every beet
growing state on the price and con-
tracts committee. The Colorado
delegation in the Mountain States as
sociction. led by Fred Cummings OF
Fort Collins. president. favored let
ting each factory district threoh out
their own price with the companies.
The stand taken by the Colorado del
egates resulted in the price COM
mittee increasing its original scale
from 81 to s2.25 a ton. This de-
mand for local au. u.onomy in prices
and suggestion that the Mountain
States delegates. the largest group
in the convention have not received
consideration due their strength were
the only intimntions of lack of har-
mony. ,A-.
At a separate meeting following
the regular convention session the
Mountain states delegates voted con-
fiderce in Cummings, who expressed
fear that other states may not be as
well organized as Colorado. ana
therefore might pro< re weak links in
q national organiza ron.
Another important decision reach
ed was to increase the wages of labor
IN the sugar beet fields IL per cent
during 1920. This means an ad-
vance of about 81 month per acre
cultivated The percentage will be
divided-5 per cent on thinning and
10 on pulling and topping.
A proposal from the labor contract
committee to give labor bonus OF
81 for every ton aoove an average
yield of ten tons per acre was voted
out 1t was decided to leave the bo-
nus question to the individual farm

Many Flu Cases
In this County
Very Few Serious

There are good many cases of
influenza in the towns and the coun-
try surrounding, in this county, but
the number is no greater than in
most sections of the country. In
fact there are not as many as In some
other sections.
OF the many cases in Crowley coun-
ty there have been very few of SER
ious nature and but .ew deaths from
the epidemic The physicians are
all kept very busy but they state that
there is no need of becoming alarmed.
Much has been written about the
probability of the recurrance of the
influenza epidemic this winter, and
the Colorado State Board of Health
has passed the following regulations
and it is the duty of every person in
the state to help their inforcement-
thereby curtailing the epidemic.
INFLUENZA
a. Contagious and infectious
b. Infective agent is believed to
be the influenza bacillus which is
frequently accompanied by the strep-
tococcus hemolyticuc, pneumocoS-
Gus or other pathogenic bacteria.
C. Placard.
d. Isolate patient.
e. Attendants should wear masks
covering nose and mouth.
Z. Burn or disinfect all contamin-
ated articles including sputum and
discharges from throat and nose.
e. Quarantine fo- two weeks. or
until all acute symptoms have sub
sided.
h. Terminal discretion may be
replaced by thoro cleansing and air
ing of the room ana its contents.
/. In communities where influenza
is epidemic all public assemblies
should be prohibited and persons be
enjoined from any unnecessary visit
ing or contact in any manner what
ever.
It is suggested that each county
be organized such organization
should consist of the county COM
missioners, county health officer and
in the county. This health organ
ization could enforce any necessary
regulations should rne epidemic re-
cur.
Thru the U. S. Public Health SER
vice additional medical help can be
furnished upon application to the
secretary of the board. They have
allowed one hundred doctors in Col
orado to- go on government pay to
cooperate in any locality were there
is need of medical assistance.
The Board of Health has been as
sured by the Red Cross that they will
furnish additional nursing and en-
ergepcy supplies thru their differ
ent departments
The Colorado State Board of
Health goes on record as recommend
ing vaccine as prophylactic. sta
tistics have proven that the use of
vaccine at the onset Of an epidemic,
has lessened the morbidity and the
mortality.
The enfluenza germ is undoubted-
ly, present in the secretion of the
nose, throat and mouth, therefore TO
guard against influenza. avoid these
secretions by avoiding improperly
cleansed eating and drinking uten-
sils in restaurants and at soda fonn-
tains; the common towel; the per-
son Who caughs or sneezes without
completely covering the mouth and !
nose with handkerchief: keep away
from crowds, do not put fingers or
pencils into mouths; always wash
the hands before meals. Keen the
body weel nourished avoid fatigue;
keen rooms we'll ventilated as fresh
air Is foe of influenza

counded a warning to ae It i,roMei i
that ch lid labor in the Colorado beet
fields during the coming year Will
not be tolerated.
The labor contracts committee re-
ported in favor of better homes for
sugar beet labors, So that their chill
dren will develop into better Ameri-
can citizens" The committee deem
ed it inadvisable to recommend a
fixed price for labor, owing to varying
conditions in different districts, but
advocated a generar raise of 15 per
cent ito promote better relations be-
tween the grower aiic the labor con-
tractor. :" -
r. ". Clark. chairman of the price
committee declared in his report
that the Interest of the beet grow
er, manufacturer and the public
must be considered in the fixing of a
scale of prices for sugar beets." He
asserted that in demanding a scale
which averages about 81 ton more
for beets than Colorado growers have
ever received that II does not neces-
state any advance IN the price of
sugar to the housewife.
Tom Farnsworth of Windsor. Colo.
pleaded with the growers to stand
by the scale as adopted.
when we met President William
l.. Petrikin of the Great Western
Sugar company recently 1 asked
him." said Mr.. Farnsworth, "wheth-
er he would accept the Mountain
States associations proposal. Pet
rikin said he would not. I then ask
ed him whether he was willing to
split the profits of the beet sugar in
dustry $3.50 with the beet growers.
And Petrikin said he would not.
You'll find many growers In favor of
a flat rate because they cannot un-
der stand this sliding scale propos-
ition, but we must educate them"
The scale adopted follows:
