Beet Growers
Talk '2l Crop
Next Meeting December 20 and
Feed is To Be rendered By
Ordway Publicity and Com
mercial Club at G. G. Hall.

Almost fifty farmers, practically
all of whom were beet raisers, met
in Ordway Monday evening of this
week in annual session and besides
the election of officers other business
OF interest was discussed. The Off
GERS elected were:
B. Dale Belshe, president.
Claude Mattingly. secretary and
treasurer.
The district representatives select
ed were as follows:
Crowley-John Sellens.
King Center-Clyde Ford.
Numa-Chris Mumm.
Ordway-J. G. Boget.
Edd Whitney was elected director
of the Mountain States Beet Grow
ers association to represent Crowley
county. There will be meeting of
that association in Denver on Mon
Sey of next week which he will at
tend.
There were no county representa-
tives named for the east end of the
county as the farmers in the Sugar
City district, it was pointed out, are
not members of the association which
IS branch affiliating with the Noun
tain States Beet Growers association.
The farmers to the east took no inter
est in cooperation, it was said, last
year and 50 far they have failed to
come in. 1t was decided, however,
at the meeting Monday night, to make
a canvas of the territory and see If
the majority of the growers in Sugar
City vicinity might be induced to join
the association. They have benefit
ted by the work of the association,
tharafnrn
should join and cooperate in the
work.
1t was plainly noticeable at this
meeting that the beet growers are fair
in their deliberations. They want
and must of necessity have, the very
best price possible for the company to
pay, and as matter of fact they
should be paid such a price as will
make the business profitable to them.
In the many talks that were made at
this meeting the members discussed
the question on the basis of cooper
alton. They want the sugar COM
pany to make profit and make mon
ey, but they want to make profit for
themselves as we'll and cannot be ex-
pected to grow beets If they do not.
One of the very important things
the association is going to do is to
check up and see how large the prob
aDie l92l acreage Will be that they
may be able to advise the sugar com
pany on what to expect in that con-
nection. The company needs an in
creased tonnage. This year the fac
tory at Sugar City operated on the
smallest tonnage in the history of the
plant, and the tonnage generally has
been decreased from year to year
The Crowley County Beet Growers
association is an organization for the
mutual benefit of the beet growers
hot to fight" the sugar company. and
If one will sit in meeting such as the
one Monday night he will see that the
spirit of cooperation exists on the
rart of the growers with the sugar
company, at the same time working to
the end that they will get square
zeal and good price for the product.
II is this that makes 1t an organiza-
tion that every grower in the county
should join, and take an interest in
the association meetings.

Of the United States department Of
agriculture at Washington, d. G. It
was distributed by him to the orange

was often spoken Of as the washing

tion, is due to the development Of

that 1t Is practically seedless,

that some farmers like and that othess
object to.
There are two features Of this dc.
sign that will appeal to the farmers
practical minds. One of these Is the
arrangement OF the hay NOW door. II
Is designed 80 that 1t drops down,
leaving a generous opening. through
which hnlf lOad OF hay can be swung
without scraping the sides. The carrier
track extends well out from under the
caves, SO that the hay may be trnns-
ported to any part Of the harn. The
other feature IL the implement and
wagon shed, or leanto at the rear Of
the barn. This latter furnishes a
wenther-proof house for the wagons
and farm implements and at the same
time they nre handy.
The interior arrangement Of the
barn. the placing Of the stalls ana tho
othar conveniences that will tighten
the work Of caring for the herd are
shown by the floor plan. It will be
noted that there are two rows Of stalls,
each accommodating ten cows. and that
they are placed SO the animals face
in. 1t may be Interesting to know the
reason for having the cows face each
other. instead of the outside walls Of
the barn. md consequently the light.
Some observant person noticed In
studying the habits of cows, that In.
variably they Craze in the pasture with
their backs to the sun. He thus figured
ii out that by arranging the stalls 30
that they follow the cows natural In.
'clination to turn away from strong
light the cows will be happier. and q
happy cow Is milk producer. The
added advantage of so arranging the
stalls is that carrier track may be
