Beet Acreage
Continues to.Crow
PAGE TWELVE
(By Carl II. Stow

Every week volunteers sign up more
acreage to be planted in beets, and no
one can deny hut that the farmers Of
the Sargent, Bowen and Monte Vista
agricultural districts are determined to
do their part in the development of
the Beet Sugar Industry.
Reports from all other beet growing
enormous sums are bcing paid the beet
growers for the 1924 crop. Also that
the farmers of those localities are fat
tening larger numbers of lambs than
usual. and that they expect satisfac-
tory profits from this department OF
their business.
There could not he greater busi-
ness enterprise come to the San Luis
Valley than Sugar Factory-One that
would manufacture sugar from beets
grown by the farmers In this agricul-
tural district For this industry not
only creates II big payroll In the town
where the factory is located. but 1t
brings hundreds of outside workers to
the valley to care for the hand-wOrk
in growing the beets. II creates
demand for farm lands. and always is
the direct cause of increases in land
values. Growing Of beets does more
to teach the advantages of intensive
farming methods and proper crop ro-
tation, than does the growing of any
other crop. 1t is the very foundation
OF stock feeding, due to the great feed
ing values of the beet tops. pulp and
syrups. And 1t Is the only crop the
farmer can grow to day with IL guar
antee that he will be paid profitable
pricc for its production.
Every farmer In this valley knows
beyond question Of doubt that there
either must be some great changes In
the crops to be- grown next year. or
that higher prices must be paid the
farmer for what he produces. Every
business Of every kind can stand loss
occasionally but any business will fall
II losses continue year after year.
The spirit OF progrcssivcncss that our
farmers have shown In getting behind
the Beet Sugar lndustry,-in these
early stages Of cxpcrimcnts-by plan
ming TO grow much larger acreage Of
bects than they have been asked to
produce, assures success for this new
enterprise, bccauc this adds big cash
crop to the income from the farms.
and will help to solve the serious H.
nancial problems now facing the farm
ers Of this great producing agricultural
district.

BLAST TO |. A.
AQUEDUCT WORK
or LARGE BAND
ny United Press Leased wire

Los ANGELES, Navy 23.-With
all theories abandoned except the
one that the crime was the work of
dissruntled ranehers, authorities
moved today 20 einch the net of evi-
denec around tie band responsible
for blowing pthe Los Angeles aque-
duct Wednesday morning nortl, of
the IIaiwee reservoir.
Positive proof has reached the of
ficia's conducting the probe that the
blast was set off by band of per
haps 80 Owens Valley and Mojave
ranchefs.
All that remains is to bind the
few loose ends of evidence into a
stronger set, prosecutors said, and
then the ease win be laid beforesthe
inyo county grand jury with a re-
quest for wholesale indictments.
Nest of the men implicated were
from points north of Big Pine, it
is believed They met, riding in n
,3o1cn machines, in small road
uelth of Big Pine, and from there
drove to the selected spot for the
dvnamiting. After the blast WAS SET
of. they returned TO their homes, by
,arious infrequcnted routes.
The difficulty between the city of
Los Angeles and ranchers living in
the, Owens Valley, where the aqec-
duet intake joins with the Owens
river. has existed ever since the
l;ugc canal was constructed.
The city purchased the water from
vast acreage. Although the sell
crs were reported satisfied with their
bargain, other ranehers who held
IN to their land have complained
that thee district is being ruined as
N agricultural section because Of
the water drained off by Los An
geles.
The disgruntled ranehers, water
bureau officials say, are anxious TO
dis,ose of their holdings as well,
but have asked too high prices for
the land and water rights. 1t is be
lievcd the blast was planned in an
effort to intimidate the city, and
force purchase of the remaining
holdings.
