Beet Sugar Safeguards Supply

During recent years 25 per cent of
the sugar consumed in the United
States has been obtained from domes-
tic bee. production.
1t has been aptly termed our "War
ration CT sugar" so that if our inn
portations were cut off limited sup
ply would still be available.
This production of beet sugar has
been encouraged and brought about by
tariff rerying from1.34 and 1.6O
cents per pound. Under production
costs in the past this has enabled the
American farmer and beet sugar pro-
grown foreign product.
The British Isles, long the home
of free trade are row levying cent
duty to secure revenue and develop
their beet sugar production.
Our own Congress is considering a
duty OF 2 cents on importations from
Cuba tt prevent our own beet sugar
industry from being crushed out of
exlstarce by this cheap labor compel
ition which it cannot otherwise meet.
Our beet sugar industry is the life
preservcr which prevents US from
being absolutely at the mercy of the
foreign producer who could manipulate
sugar prices without the restraining
influence of domestic supply with
whicn TO compete.
The value of the United States beet
sugar production last year exceeded
s100,000,000 figured at cents a
pound FOR fine granulated sugar.
The obvious advantage of having
such sum of money continue to
circulate here rather than in foreign
land as apparent

Three Year Road Building Assured.

w. C. Markham, Secretary of the
American Association of State High
way officials and representative of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
completed his work in Washington re-
Gently upon the passage of the con-
ference report on the Post Office bill
authorizing the appropriation of $780,
100000 for Federal aid in road build
ing in 1923, S65 5,0OO, 900 in 1924 and
s75 100000 in 1925. This bill is a
complement to the bill passed last
summer providing scheme for the
building of farm-to-market roads
which was advocated by the Farm Bu-
reau. 1t makes the money available
for the carrying out of system OF
building highways connecting the var
ious county seats in the states and
other important roads. This is known
as the seven per cent system in which
the State highway commissioners col
laborate with the Federal road officials
in laying out a system of roads for
the states. When this seven per cent
system of roads have been improved
according to the plans promulgated in
the beginning, another seven per cent
is added, thus insuring the completion
of the projects when once started.
The amounts available for Colorado
is as follows: Fiscal year, 1928, 1894,

To Continue War Finance Corporation

life of the War France Corporation
for cne year from July 1st next.
While conditions are improving in

State Lands Being Used For Agricul-
ture

The success of dry farming opera
tions in Colorado, especially in East
err Colorado, has made a material
change in the character of the leases
now issued on state lands, according
to the State Board of Land Commiss-
ionors.
Formerly these lands were practic-
ally all classed and used as strictly
grazing lands. Now a large acreage
is leased, partly for grazing and
partly for agriculture use. Each year
mere and more land is put under the
plow as success attends the efforts of
farmers, pioneering in what might be
terme5 new industry DRY farm
ing in Colorado.
With this change in the industry
of the country has come greatly in
creased revenues to the state in the
form of rentals. Lands used agri-
culturally under dry farming condit-
ions carry an annual rental varying
frcm fifty cents per acre to as high
as a dollar and half per acre as
opposed to eight and twelve cents per
acre for grazing.

New Colorado Industry

! With favorable season through

surpassed only by California. In 1919,
according to the reports of the United
States census bureau, Colorado ranked
Is in acreage devoted to this crop.
This surprisingly rapid advancement
In lettuce production here is due to
the development of new industry in
Colorado, the growing of head lettuce
a. high attitudes. The industry was
borr in Chaffee county in 1920, and
| it was discovered that an excellent
quality of head lettuce could be pro-
duced to go to market at that time
whcr almost no head lettuce was being
skipped. The demand for the product
was excellent and the industry devel-
cped in 1921 in a number of other
mountain counties.
Partial reports of county assessors
to the State Immigration Department
indicate that at least 5000 acres is
being devoted to lettuce in Colorado
this year, chiefly at attitudes above
$500 feet. This compares with 300
acres reported by the census bureau
for 1919 and 1855 acres reported to
the Immigration Department for 1921
Among the mountain counties report
ing lettuce this year are Custer, Eagle.
Guanison, Lake, Mineral, Pitkin, Teller,
head lettuce is being grown on the
higher attitudes in Conejos, Costilla,
Rio Grande, Sagauche, Fremont, Huer-
fano, Pueblo and some other counties.
California has led all states in the
production of lettuce for market for
several years, but the leadership in
that respect is seriouGly threatened by
the development of the late lettuce
industry in Colorado. In 1919 the
census bureau reported 6121 acres of
lettuce harvested in California. New
York ranked second that year with
1892 acres. California lettuce comes
into the market in the late winter and
early spring, while that from New
York comes into market early in the
sprire, or is leaf lettuce, which does
not offer serious competition to the
high quality of head lettuce grown in
Colorado. Several western states are
growing late head lettuce this year,
but Colorado will lead them all in
acreage devoted to this crop.
TIL" production and marketing of
lettuce requires great care and con-
siderable skill. Production in 1921
was not satisfactory, due partly to
lack OF experience among growers and
partly to an unfavorable season. Under
favorable conditions a carload of let
tuce should be marketed from each
acre. but the production in 1921 fell
far short of this average.

Van Dyke Comes Back to Earth

DR.. Henry Van Dyke, of Princeton,
former minister to the Netherlands,
was strenuous advocate of the league
of nations. Recently he is reported
to have said:
'One of the causes Of nervousness
is Indigestion. The United States is
suffering with undigested immigra-
tion, and while our forefathers intend
ed tia. our country should be an
aJylum for the oppressed, | do not
believe it should be lunatic asylum.
1t is my opinion that foreigner who
has Leen in this country ten years
and hes not learned the English lang
uage should be deported."
That is a highly American state
ment which sounds rather strange
coming from the mouth Of a gentleman
who formerly evinced internationalistic
proclivities. The immigration law re-
Gently extended by the Republican
Congress will probobly meet with the

been q nervous manifestation due to

WASHINGTON NOTES
True to Democratic Form

One Of the Democratic Senators
who is always ready to make some
accusation against others and who
always affects Indignation if anyone
applies to him the short and ugly
word has admitted one of his falsi-
ficatiors, but without apology, Of
course Speaking in the Senate, he
declared that "Out in Indiana, where
M. Beveridge won, he did not file
any account at all" This was in refer
peEditures. Mr.. Beveridge wrote the
Democratic Senator calling attention
to the fact that he had filed an ac-
count, not only as required by law,
but also weekly during the campaign.
Thus confronted by the facts, the
accuser admitted his error. 1t is our
guess that Beveridge will get thous-
andr of Democratic votes in Indiana
as a rebuke to the false charges of
Senator from Mississippi.
Mr.. Gompers is entirely right in
saying that there is power over and
above the supreme court but he is
wrong in placing Congress as such
4 power though right in SO placing
the people. Congress is a coordinate,
not superior power. The people are
supreme, and, if the court finds an
act of Congress unconstitutional, the
people can change the Consultation.
But Mr. Gompers is assuming a good
desl when he assumes that the people
will overthrow the decision Of the
Supreme Court holding that a labor
organization is responsible for injuries
1t is and has been for time out of
mind fundamental principle that the
law will not premit a wrong without
n remedy. The rights, duties and
responsibilities of combinations Of
both labor and capital are yet far
from fully defined but the people of
the country are determined that they
shall be defined in way that will
protect not merely the rights of labor
organize tions and combinations of
capital, but the rights of the country
as a whole. If Mr.. Gompers finds the
