The w. W. Wright field of 81 acres
ran l. tons to the acre, net The
bcctS We're planted in heavy ground fol
lowing potatoes and did not receive as
much cultivation as usually required.
Mr. Wright received an initial payment
of S1.25 per ton, his bccts testing bet
ter than II percent sugar.
The MosSbcrg Brothers field south
of Alamosa, yielded Il tons to the acre
and tested l7.2G percent sugar. A sell
cctcd acre from this field was consid-
cred the best in the valley and WAS
awarded 800 prize. Mr.. Hamman said
this would h. n good beet crop In any
beet raising district.
At La lara, Jim McKelvey had a
return of Is tons from one and one half
acres.
An experienced beet grower at Mes
sta ncttcd II tons per acre un late
planting ana received slGs for his crop
or $50 per acre.
The above payments received by
these growers will hc augmented by a
further payment under the cooperative
participating contract when the sugar
Is marketed and will undoubtedly run
around $500 per ton. according to Mr..
llammnn.
Mr.. llamman stated that ideal CON
ditions for raising sugar bccts did not
obtain In the valley last year but de-
clarcd that he WAS absolutely confident
that sugar bccts can he successfully
grown In the Sun Luis valley. The
big problem is how To produce tn.
tonnage that will pay the farmcr to
raise bcctS, and this Is no small lob
on account OF tn. uneven conditions
over the district. New machinery will
b. placed among the growers on

pr"priatcd between 10000 and $io,OOO

COURT DISMlSSES
SUIT FOR $5,250,000
Booking Agents Claim Against
Keith Theatrical Exchange Held
Not Antitrust Case.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 31.-After
three weeks of trial the $5.25o.oo0 suit
brought by Max Hart. the booking
agent. against the B. f. Keith The
atrical Exchange. Inc: the Orpheus
Circuit, Inc. and other vaudeville in
tarests was dismissed by Federal Judge
Augustus N Hand.
The suit was based on charges that
the defendants conspired to boycott
acts booked by Hart, so as to ruin his
business. Judge Hand held. however.
that, although vaudeville actors trav-
eled with their paraphernalia from
state to state, the business of booking
them did not fall within interstate
commerce provisions of the Sherman
antitrust law.
Several theatrical stars appeared
during the trial to testify that Hart,
as he claimed, had picked them up
In the sticks and put them In the big
time" The plaintiff claimed that the
Keith and Orpheum circuits ulti-
nately refused to book his stars. thus
causing him to lose most of his high
salaried clients.
When Hart testified he was barred
from offices of the big exchanges the
defendants attorneys brought from
him admissions that he several times
had engaged in fist fights with Keith
and Orpheum representatives. The
defendants claimed Hart's "pusna-
cious tendencies" were the chief cause
of his disoarment from their offices.
Hart also was caused to admit that
he had failed in 1922 to declare on
his federal income tax return $4,000.
which, however, he said. represented
gifts and gratuitieS from vaudeville
