NORTHERN COLORADO FARMERS
URGED TO PLANT BIG ACREAGE
OF SUGAR BEETS THIS SEASON

Greeley. March 19.-Declaring il is
"more desirable than ever that we
have a large acreage of sugar beets
in Weld county this season., w. Z.
Wilson and l.. B. Carrel, the commit
tee of the Greeley chamber OF COM
merce who attended the recent con-
ference in Denver to discuss the beet
contracts, made full report Friday
night to H. J. Wiebking, vice presi-
dent of the local chamber.
"One reason advanced in favor of
normal beet acreage was "a reduc-
tion Of only 10 per cent in the beet
acreage will mean loss OF at least
$3.50. .OO0' to Greeley and other Weld
county cities and towns. money that
would be spent here by field and fac
tory labor This figure, it was point
ed out, did not include IAN even great
er loss in beet checks to the growers.
loss which doubt could be made
up in the growing of any other crop
urging that every effort to obtain
as nearly normal a beet acreage as
possible should be made by the mem
bership of the Greeley chamber of
commerce"
The committee called attention to
the part played by the beet-raising
county. and particularly referred to
the 100000 paid for sugar beets in
the county last year. I'VE all know
that it was the salvation of business. -
said the report. The committee ad-
vised against overplanting Of potatoes
or any other crop. The price on po-
tatoes of late years has been any
mittee, pointing out the advantages
of the guaranteed price any market
of the sugar beet
Discussing the two contracts offered
growers by the Great Western Sugar
company. the local committee stated:
I'VE believe that the sliding scale
contract is the best that has ever
been offered by any sugar company
in the state. The farmers have been
asking for fifty-fifty division of the
sugar produced from their beets The
sliding scale. as explained to us, gives
the farmers practically what they
have asked for. We believe the of
ficials of the Great Western Sugar
company to be absolutely sincere in
their statement that they can go no
further under present conditions than
they have gone in the two contracts
which they have offered to the grow
ers. The farmers have, for a num-
ber of years been contending for a
sliding scale contract 5l
ut would. therefore. surely be un-
fair to the sugar industry II we do
not now give the company an acre
age large enough to enable them to
try out this new scale in a fair and
impartial way: and we all realize that
the sugar company must have an, ade-
quate tonnage to make this trial an
absolutely fair one. II the slidin =
scale contract as offered by the sugar
company should prove to be success
ful and acceptable to both the COM
pany and the growers, one of the
greatest benefits TO accrue to both the
farmers and the business men from
this would be the fact that we would
have a contract under which we could
operate from year to year, doing away
with the uncertainty which arises
every winter and spring as to the
amount which will be paid for beets ."

CULVER TRACK MEN

Cadets Strong in All Events
Many Individual Good
ShOwings Made.

Special TO NcWS-IlmeS.
CULVER, Ind. April 23.-Al-
though the Orange and Blue track
and field artists lost to Culver by
the overwhelming score Of S2R to
341a, the meet lies a goodly dis
lance from being called a failure
The contest was anything but flashy
from the local standpoint. but il
brought before Coach Hastings just
what the local material consisted
OF. 1t also brought out some strong
men who up to the time Of the meet
had been very obscure in display
ing their true wares.
The fear of a delinquency in the
field material bursted like soap bub-
bles for before the meet became
well under way it was apparent that
the field events would be the Orange
and Blue stronghold.
SIuss Second High.
Capt. Sluss did the big work of
the meet placing a first in the shot
and discus. which handed him sec
ond high point man of the contest
with total Of 10 points. Kintz
roEed a first i'm the pole vault. But
the big surprise OF the field events
was staged when SabO and Weeks
made creditable showings in the
broad jump and high jump respec-
lively. These events had been the
big source Of worry to the local
mentor, and the staging of these
events showed Culver unusually
strong in them. However, Weeks
worked into a second place in the
high jump with leap OF five feet
six inches, a mark high enough to
cop a first in any prep meet, while
Sabo went 90 feet l inch for a third
In the broad jump. 1t may be here
stated that the broad jump was
taken last season with a jump of 10
feet 10 inches.
The hurdles, an event that little
coaching had been given to, discov-
cred an unheralded local lad by the
name of Foster, who topped the
timbers for a first in the low and
and third place in the high.
