member of the Denver Rotary club,
took occasion to attend the weekly
luncheon here.
Mr.. Newton recalled the historical

USE BEET ,SUCAR-IT Is
JUST AS GOOD AS CANE
Delta independents

Delta independents
Extenive experiments carried out
by the University. of California have
proved conclusively that beet sugar
is equally as good as cane for all
canning purposes and that tests show
ed that sugar from cane contained
99.7 pure sucrose, while that produced
from beets tested 998 pure sucrose.
The above statement carries out the
contention Of many housewives on the
Western Slope, who have used beet
sugar successfully for many years.
For some reason, however, there tp-
pears to persist in the minds Of a
few that cane sugar is for some reas-
on superior, though all tests prove
there is practically no difference,
there being q slight balance in purity
in favor Of the Western product.
Satisfied that beet sugar is fully as
ON why Western Slope people should
use West Slope sugar. The reason is
this: The beet grower Is paid in pro-
portion to the net price received by
the factory for sugar; sugar sold on
the Western Slope brings q higher
price to the factory on account Of the
S8Vlu&B III 1IC1But VSSN Sst1S oOt0 Al
the Eastern market; therefore all
beet sugar purchased on the Western
Slope helps to increase the amount
received by the growers. It has been
estimated that II all the sugar pro-
duced on the Western Slope could be
sold locally, instead Of being sent al
high freight rates to Eastern cities
the price Of II per cent beets would be
increased about $1.79 ton.
Aside from helping SO materially
the beet growers it is necessary from
! a selfish point Of view to give the
/ beet industry every possible impetus
for If this industry should fail on the
Western Slope, there would be nc
competition in the raising Of sugar
while prices would soar skyward
Sugar beets bring to the West Slope
q crop return of about $500, 900 and
an employment account of 100000
In addition they are very important
in vitalizing the soil thru crop rota.

p. L. Decision on
Milo Electric Co..
Minimum Charge

The Public Utilities Commission
issued an order Saturday in the
matter of the complaint against the
Milo Electric Light IL Power Com
pany, signed by Edgar S. Decker and
others, residents of Sebec. The petit
TONERS allege that the rates of the
company are unreasonable and I'M
justly discriminatory in that the
minimum rate for Sebec subscribers.
according to the schedule now in
force, is SIS per year. while the mini
mum rate for Milo subscribers is 81
per month.
On this complaint, a public hear
ing was ordered to be held in the
selectmen's office in Milo on July 16,
1928. The Commission met at the
time and place appointed for the
hearing, and at the request and with
the consent of all parties. the hear
ing was adjourned to be held at the
office of the respondent company at
Milo.
although 1t appears that the ex-
pense of the company of serving
Some Of its customers is greater than
the cost of service rendered to other
of its customers who are located in
Milo Village and also in Sebec Vii
lagc, we believe that the situation on
the whole system, is such that all
of the customers whom the company
is attempting to serve, ought to re-
ceivc their service on the same rate
basis" says the decision.
The Commission DEGREES chat the
rate charged by the company as a
minimum rate charge. is unjust, I'M
reasonable and unlawfully discrimin-
atory: and that on or before Nov. /.
1923, the company be required to file
an amendment to the schedule eff
fective Dec. /, 1923, fixing said mini
mum charge at not exceeding Sill
per month. subject to the usual dis
count as allowed by it's schedule"

White Pine Wood
Lots Should Be
Given Attention

w. o. Frost, state leader in white
pine blister rust control. stated
Saturday that while pine stumpage
is increasing in value. In 1907, the
average price of pine stumpage in
central New England was So. per
thousand feet. while in 1923 stump
age for second growth white pine
averaged between so. and SD. pes
thousand feet. Undoubtedly this in
crease in value of pine stumpage
will continue, especially since a
large number of the southern mills
which now supply considerable
portion of our timber will be closed
within ten years.
The control Of the white pine
plister rust is directing the atten-
ton of land owners to the fact that
white pine timber is highly prof
liable crop. Protection from the
rust is inexpensive and effective
thus making it possible to grow
white pine in New England in lar
ger quantities than it is being grown
today and give the pine owner the
advantage of the increased price in
stumpage.
