son. that the potato industry would
again be back on profit paying
basis for the growers
To this end l am writing to the
several large producing districts in
the state to urge cooperation in this
movement: Hoping to interest COM
mercial clubs or some organization
or individual who will ge behind
such movement and interest all
the growers in signing an agreement
to reduce their acreage twenty per
cent from the total acreage they
planted this year. Then after this
plan has been adopted by the several
districts In Colorado, a systematic
campaign will be waged in all other
potato shipping districts throughout
the United States. to secure these
agreements for this twenty per cent
reduction in the potato acreage.
A movement to assist the potato
growers In their marketing problems
has something big and vital to do
with the success of every business
interest located in these shipping
districts, and II the total acreage
planted to potatoes next season is
reduced twenty per cent. and the
Government Reports show this re.
duction, then profitable prices will
he received by the growers.
Please advise me at an early date
II your organization will get behind
this movement to put the potato
growing industry on a sound busi-
ness basis, I am sure you will find
your growers In the same frame OF
mind as they are in the San Luis
valley regarding the future produc-
tion OF this crop. and that they will
Immediately become enthusiastic
over any policy that will put their
business on n solid foundation
II Is not too early to interest the
potato growers In a movement such
as this. and II II IL impossible for
your organization to handle this
work. please present this plan to
someone who will Immediately in-
terest the growers In Its adoption
Printed agreement blanks will he
mailed that are to he signed by all
the growers showing their 1924
acreage. and the acreage they are
to plant in 1928.
I am looking forward to rec"iv-
ing a letter from you saying that
your district fnvors such = plan Rs
outlined. and that . campaign will

est every grower In signing the
agreement to reduce his acreage Of
potatoes twenty per cent next year.

This announcement was made by
the sugar company representative.
Mr.. Harmon. and was decided up
on after this years experiments
made in various parts of this valley.
This announcement should great
ly enthuse every resident of this

no other industry that could come
to this locality that will so greatly
improve and advance our business
interests as will the development
of beet growing and the manufac-
ture OF sugar.
This thirty thousand dollar ap-
preparation will be expended in the
supervising OF the growing OF an
other seasons crop OF beets. and also
to purchase all the implements
necessary for the growing of the
crop The implements will be rented
to the growers at a nominal figure.

The fire was discovered about
six o'clock in the evening by Mrs.
Muller while she was busy with her
kitchen work. As she chanced to
open the kitchen door. the light
from the burning barn entered the
room and she Immediately gave the
alarm. Mr.. Muller and Mexican
boy were milking cows In shed
and had not seen the blaze. Fred
Muller, who lives just across the
road from the Gottlieb Muller ranch.
had his attention called to the fire
by Earl Cochran who was watering
his horse in the creek nearby and
jumping upon a saddle horse rushed
to the scene. BY this time the big
barn was all in flames and nothing
could be done to stop the confla-
grafton which soon spread to an
other barn and from there to ad-
joining sheds and hay stacks.
So quickly did the fire develop
that the men were unable to save
anything but two sets of harness
from the main barn. A team of
horses were united from their stalls
and driven from the barn by tho
Mexican boy and he had hard work
in making them leave even though
the burning hay from the loft was
falling into their faces through tha
opening above. A big Republic
truck was totally destroyed in this
barn. A new threshing machine sep
arstor was also destroyed and tho
shed In which II was housed. The
fire added to its toll n new Fair
banks platform scales, feed racks
for cattle and the corrals in the barn
lot. together with chicken house
and many chickens. About 200 tons
Of hay and 800 bushels OF grain
were destroyed.
BY chance. the hay baler had not
been returned to the shed and WAS
saved together with some farm
wagons which were moved out OF
the reach of the fire.
A viEilant watch was kept all dur
ing Tuesday night to prevent the
spread of the fire to the meadows
and to ertinguish burning embers
which were carried by the breeze to
the roofs OF other sheds and out
buildings. The stone dwelling was
not endangered, being situated
quite u distance from the barn lot.
The origin OF the fire seems to be
n mystery AS II started right In the
roof OF the barn and no one had
been In the building since three
o'clock in the afternoon. The only
explanation offered Is that sufficient
heat may have been generated in
the green hay to ignite the roof. the
building being constructed of pine
boards. We are informed that some
times clover hay enclosed in "A dry
barn loft to which there is no ven
tila,ion has been known To cause
fires and MIR. Gctz OF the South
Farm states that he had such fire
back In Illinois. Mr.. Muller had
quite u 10, OF clover hay in his loft
and no outside openings. The en-
tire roof burst into flames almost
simultaneously and II is certain tho
fire did not start from below. which
seems TO bear out the spontaneous
combustion theory.
Mr.. Muller and wife settled on
their Rock Creek ranch seven miles
southwcs, OF Monte Vista In 1885
and In nll the time since have not
had any fire or other agency to de-
stroy their property which they
have accumulated with thrift and

the question, why should potato
growers be compelled to sell their
potatoes at such low prices. is that
the last Government Report stated
that the crop estimate was several
million bushels higher than the esti-
mate made one month previous. Or
in other words, the figures given in
the Government Reports show there
il an overproduction OF potatoes in
the United States.
For three years the potato grow
ers have been disappointed in the
prices paid them for their spuds.
and II these low prices are the
natural result Of overproduction.
then wouldn't 1t be good business
policy to Immediately plan a def
mite, clear-cut working plan for an
other year! Why have a policy with
such uncertainty. when principles
can be applied to potato growing
that will assure success and protect
you absolutely! why be in business
and every year worry about the fin
ancial results. when proper plan

these plans will open new avenues
