ABUNDANCE OF
RAIN PREDICTED
FOR YEAR 1923

According to the Chicago Tribune,
one of the largest daily newspaperg
in the world, in their annual weather
forecast for the United States for the
year 1928 by Maxwell, who is recog
nized as the greatest weather pre-
dictor in the country, the map shows
that Northeastern Colorado, Western
Nebraska and Eastern Wyoming is to
be visited by three extra storms of
heavy rains /. this year. Maxwell
says that in April, 1928, there will
come some hard rain storms in this
territory which will pile up total
for the month of April of s ga inch
es Of precipitation. In June there
will be another wet spell with total
Of 51s inches, and in September Of
this year the heaviest rains of all will
come. According to this prediction
this section is going to have ample
moisture this year for bumper crops
The Chicago Tribune's predictions
have been right eight times out of ten,
This prediction is made on the basis
of Pharaoh's seven-year cycle. This
cycle has been known since Biblical
times. in Pharoah's dream which
Joseph interpreted correctly. The
citizens of Sedgwick county and ad-
jacent territory. of course, all hope
that these predictions will bear out,
and in such event we have every rea-
son to anticipate fine crop Of wheat
and ideal conditions for the sowing
of the fall crop. This turn of events
will mean vast improvement in To-
aal circumstances.

GREAT WESTERN OFFERS
INITIAL PRICE OF $3.50
PER TON FOR SUGAR BETS
Price of Seed Reduced And Larger Share Under
the Sliding Scale Is Claimed For the 1923
Sugar Beet Contract Just Announced; An In
crease of Fifty Cents Per Ton In the Guaran-
r teed Initial Payment To Growers

cents to 81 per acre. Last seasons
price was 20 cents.
Varying with the net proceeds Of
sugar sold and with the sugar con-
tent of the beets, the farmers par
ticipation in better prices and i'm
proved quality Of beets will this COM
ing season be on higher level than
In the 1922 sliding scale contract. At
some levels in the new scale this in
crease is more than SO cents a ton of
beets. At current sugar prices and
normal average sugar content in the
two districts the improvement in the
sliding scale is about 25 cents per ton.
AgricultursHsts Have Forms
The geographical division of dis
tricts by state lines will be used to
determine the average sugar content
Of the beets sliced, the same basis as
last year. The net selling price for
sugar will be on the basis Of the COM
bined sales from Colorado and Me-
braska factories, as their sugars are
sold largely in the same territories.
The printed forms are in the hands
Of the company's agriculturalists and
contracting of acreage is underway.
The final contract is out month ear
lier than last year to afford farmers
an opportunity to make their CROP
ping plans for the coming season
and, where necessary, TO make their
finincial arrangements for conducting
their farming operations.
Under the 1922 sliding scale in both
these districts SIS per ton was paid in
the harvest period and an additional
81 per ton on December %. Final
settlement under last years agree
ment will probably bring the grow
ers additional moneys. The new 1928
contract assures them so cents more
per ton on delivery next Fall and a
larger final total payment at the same
levels Of sugar contents and net price
Higher Content Expected
Since the 1922 sugar content was
below normal the reasonable expecta-
ton of an average quality beet crop
in the coming season would represent

GROWERS STATE
SUGAR COMPANY
CAN RAISE PRICE

The officials of the Colorado organ
ization of beet growers has just sent
out an interesting statement, copy
of which has been shown to us, and
from which we copy the following
paragraphs:
"A comparison on the prices the
Great Western Sugar Company is
paying its growers as to that other
companies operating in the United
States are paying their growers for
sugar beets, reveals the following:
"The National Sugar Company Of
Sugar City, Colorado, is paying on q
$3.50 basis. If sugar is netting $3.50
per hundredweight, this company
would pay 1888 per ton for beets as
against the Great Western Sugar
Company's paying $6.99, or this other
company in our own state is paying
$1.59 more than the Great Western
Sugar Company. This estimate is
based on 14.6 per cent beets which is
the percentage of Colorado for 1922.
+ "The American Sugar Beet Com
pany of Oxnard, California, is giving
$3.50 contract, based. on 100 per
cent extraction. This company. will
pay $9.49 for 14.6 per cent beets,- or
exactly $3.50 more per ton than the
Great Western Sugar Company.
1.-THE balance sheet as for May 3lst.
1922, of. the Great Western Sugar
Company shows a surplus Of $780,
434, ,797.0O. The current market price
of all their stock. to date is $64. .200.-
900. They have paid dividends in the
last seventeen years, five months,
$50 ,2S5 ,040. These enormous earn
ings grew out of an original capital
Of $13, ,630.00."
The assessed valuation of all the
property Of Larimer county is $52,-
3l5, ,l80 90. This means that with the
earnings Of the Company, plus the
present market prices, they could buy
all Of Larimer county twice, and then
have left two-thirds of their original
investment.
Summarizing: on a basis of $3.50
for sugar and 14.6 per cent sugar in
beets, the National City Sugar Co., of

DOINGS AT THE
STATE CAPITOL

Denver, Colo Feb. 1.-AHeged
+. lure of railroads to provide cars
1r farmers and stCcknlen which re-
suited in many cases in great losses
to the fruit growers and others in
Colorado, came into the spotlight
Wednesday, with the introduction of
resolution in the senate of the state
assembly in session here which urged
that the governor use, all powers of
the state to secure prompt and full
performance, by the railroads of their
duties in furnishing sufficient motive
power for the Transportation of the
products of the state and that he
take such action that is necessary to
correct these evils" The resolution
was introduced by Senators Tobin,
Bannister and Morrison, and is said
to have come as the result of re-
guest by the governor.
Examples of the losses sustained
by the growers and stockmen of Colo
RADIO as result of the failure to pro-
vide motive power and cars were
pointed out with the introduction Of
the resolution.
While the senate was occupied with
the motive power resolution . bitter
fight was being waged in the judi
ciary committee of the house over
the Ranger repeal bill, which result
ed in the committee reporting out
the Elder bill repeating the act es-
tablishing the Ranger forces. The
Romero bill was tabled and the Ell
der bill, virtually the same in effect,
was chosen by the committee to re-
fer to the house for action. Stub
born opposition met bill to increase
the salaries of the commissioner Of
mining and state mine inspectors
when it came up for second reading
1t was put over for day. A mea.
sure which would require that the
American flag be displayed on public
schools was re-referred to the com;
mittee on education. Opposition to a
bill providing for the payment Of
readers for blind students resulted in
the measure being put over for a
day.
A bill approved on second reading
by the senate permits district jud-
ges of one district who sit in another
district to file with the clerk of the
latter any decision which he might
render. A second bill approved on
the second reading gives the ma jor-
ity of board of trustees the right
to vote any corporate stock which
the board may hold in any corpor-
alton. A bill concerning the collec
ton of property tax on automobiles
was discussed. A resolution protest
ing against further adoption of me-
MORALS to congress was adopted by
the senate.
Following the adoption Of the bill
abolishing the state board of pardons
during the Wednesday session, the
senate passed a bill abolishing the
state board of charities and reform.
On the second reading the senate ap-
proved a bill concerning the exercise
of eminent domain by corporations
and persons engaged in mining by
dredging or other hydraulic methods.
With bills to pave the way or the
purchase Of bonds for a state farm
loan bank already passed the second
reading in the house, solons are con-
fronted with the problem that no
town seems to want the bank, which
can be created under the federal
farm loan bank act.
