A conference on the subject of a
voluntary reduction IN gas rates in
indianapolis will be held within the
next few days between Clarence L.
Kirk. vice president and general man
ager Of the Citizens Gas Company.
and Taylor Z. Groninger, city cor
poration counsel, it was learned to-
day.
The gas company has been propos-
ing for some time a reduction of
rates to large consumers followed by
a reduction in rates paid by house
holders. Kirk expressed the opinion
that cut in the commercial rate will
attract sufficient of this kind of
business to make possible a cut in
all rates. At the present time a uni
form rate of S1.15 per thousand cubic
feet is charged.
"A cut in industrial rates would be
a step In the right direction" Kirk
said. THE sooner that is done and
industrial business built up the sooner
domestic. rates can be cut"
Groninger IS contendlng for re

SUGAR BEET FIELDS
PROMISE GOOD CROPS

There are some exceptionally fine
fields of sugar beets around Delta this
year, and just now they are showing
up exceptionally well. A drive through
the country in any direction takes one
past fields of sturdy beet tops indicat-
ing a stocky growth full of agar un-
derground.
Farmers who study their neighbCrs'
fields can learn much concern 'ng the
value of fertilization for beet fields.
Those fields which are ferti lied show
plainly that their crop are better and
of a greater sturdiness than these
were not fertilized.
According to the field men of the
factory here, beets have never been
in better shape. Interesting tests
have been made in regard to fertiliza-
the results are highly gratifying.
Three fields adjoining were used,
one fertiliZed with straw, one with
manure, and one left unfertilized. One
can now almost tell where the line lies
between the fields, as the one tertiliz-
ed with manure has heavier yield
than either of the others, but the
straw field was better than the one
with no fertilization.
Cover crops of different kinds have
been used by other farmers with great
results, also. The blocks of land in
which such fertilization as alfalfa.
plowed under, wheat beans and peas
which such fertiIfzatiOn ae aIFa1F,
and such have been used, are notable
for their splendid crops These beets
grow to larger size and are better
in every way.
This is another strong reason why
farmers should raise sugar beets. The
land can easily and inexpensiely be
fertilized for their productions tho
short time spent in hauling fertilizer
to the beet fields during the quiet
winter season will pay big returns the
next summer when the farmer begins
to reap his harvest from these fields
cash market is ready for the beets
when they are produced. It is a sure
always an adequate return on the
crop; there is always a market and
crop.
There are few farmers who would
not pay small amount to insure
their making money each year, yet
many fail to see the opportunity they
are letting slip by to raise beets and
thus insure an income beginning in
the fall and continuing until next sum.

MOVE TO DISSOLVE
WHEAT ASSOCIATION

According to the Seibert (Colo)
Settler a state wide campaign to dis
solve the Colorado Wheat Growers as
sociation has been launched by the
farmers of Vona, Seibert and Stratton,
who have formed the Colorado Wheat
Growers Dissolution organization.
General dissatisfaction among the
$500 members of the Wheat Growers
association is expressed by farmers
who have found the contract unsatis-
factory and Improbable, according to
the paper.
Reports say that the Colorado Grain
Dealers Protective association was
formed at Stratton recently, the OBJ
ject of which is to protect Independent
dealers from suit for buying wheat un-
der contract to the Wheat Growers as
sociation. One firm, it was under
stood, has been sued for buying from
pool member. 1t is said pool
members in Colorado are generally
refusing to deliver their wheat to the
growers association, members of
which received only 81 cents a bushel
for their 1923 crop.
