ENToMoLOGIsT ANNOUNCES
DELTA COUNTY SPRAY DATES

1t is the desire of the State Ento,
biological Field Station at Paonia and
the County Horticultural cooperating
that every community and it's constit-
uents receive the best information
possible for the timing of spray
dates for cooling moth control. This
can only be accomplished thru the CO.
operation of the interested parties
themselves.
So far as possible spray dates will
be published in the local papers, but
since they are weekly issues it is
often impractical to set definite dates
that weather changes affect moth &C.
tivities directly. Therefore it has
been deemed advisable to select one
or two interested individuals in each
community to whom the State Ento-
mologists office and the County Hor-
ticulturist may send tentative spray
notes and advise as to any changes
that many occur too late for publica-
ton. At all times any party in the
county may feel free to call the Coun-
ty Horticulturist or the Field Station

It is almost useless to try and get
sane discussion of the sugar situa-
tion when the country is being arous
ed against the industry by inflama-
ed against the industry by inflamma-
however, can be stated which are not
subject to contradiction.
In 1921 and 1922, American beet
sugar factories were selling their
crop for less than it cost to make it
and many sugar producers were put
out of business the same as were
producers in other lines of industry.
Sugar beet farmers could not make a
living and turned to other crops
1923 rolled around after a period of
short production and the inevitable
took place, prices began to advance.
If the price in this country is above
the general world level due to artifi-
cial stimulation as charged, sugar will
begin to float in here from every
other market. There has been no in
dication of such. supplies appearing.
If present price increases had not
materialized, the American beet sugar
industry would have been practically
ruined by a third season below cost
of production.
The situation has made good poll
tical ammunition but it is beyond the
power of any group of men or COM
bination of interests to control the
price of sugar because it is produced
in too many parts Of the world
