BEET GROWERS ORGANIZE
AT DELTA COVERING
ALL WESTERN SLOPE

At the court house Saturday alter
noon there We're representatives from
all Western Slope counties in which
beets are grown The object OF the
meeting was to discuss the matter OF
combining into one organization Tor
the purpose Of beuering conditions
between the grower and the factory.
At the conclusion OF talks from sew
eral OF those present it Wa decided
to organize, and that the name OF the
organization should be known as the
Western Slope Beet Growers Associa-
tion. Officers selected were W. H.
Cox OF Iona. president; King Banks.
Of Delta, vice president; VI. q. Hin
shaw, OF Grand Junction. treasurer.
With the above officers, the following
make up the board OF directors: T. w.
Mcneil and Dominy Faussone. OF
Nontrose; H. A. Hadley. of Paonia. H.
B. Turner. of Olathe; K. B. Jones, OF
Rifle and W. a. Knapp OF Mack.
The directors met ar Grand juno
tion Wednesday for the purpose Of
considering matters regarding the
tariff on sugar. which is before Pres
ideut Coolidge. Immediate steps will
be taken to ascertain whether it shall
be necessary to prepare costs on the
growing Of sugar beets. The matter
is to be placed before Senator Phipps
at once.
For the purpose Of financing the
association ft was the opinion OF the
board of directors that steps should
be taken TO have written into each
contract with the Holly Sugar Corro--
alton. q clause which would allow the
association TO have collected from
each grower in the territory one and
ono-halr cent on each ton of beets
delivered TO the factories. The object
of this small sum is for the purpose
of financing the association. The
total sum which this would raise
would be in the neiEhborhood of
$500, provided go per cent Of the
growers would consent to the clause.
The meetings in the future as to
time and place are left in the hands
of the president. Il is probable sew
eral meetings viii be held at conveu-
lent points throughout the Western
