The beet sugar companies have a
large number of forty and eighty acra
farms that can be rented either on
shares or for cash. Expert advice is
given, free of charge, relative to plant-
lng, irrigating #and cultivation.
Both soil and climate in Colorado
are exceptionally well adapted to the
production of sugar beets. Water for
irrigation provides th> heat taearnaee
against droughts. The soluble salts
of the soil have net baen leached eat
by excessive rains, and during the
growing season thorn Is s maximum ed
sunshine.
Beets should be rotated with other
crops such as alfalfa, wheat and pota-
toes Alfalfa especially is neeeasary,
as it acts as a fertiliser and Is the
basis of all general fanning ta Colo-
rado. -j
Cattle raising and -dairying are nat-
ural adjuncts to the beet sugar in-
dustry. Tbe beet tops, pulp and mo-
lasses can be mad# to add to the earn-
ings of the farm when used tor tha

Prom carefully compiled facts and

tories to the fanners is more than

These factories are operated by

for the building of several factories
on r co-operative basis. ,
To the farmers the sugar factories
offer a dependable market. Tbe price
of beets is arranged before the crop
is planted and Is based upon amount
of sugar they contain. Contracts with
farmers are signed in advance of plant-
ing. This year the price ie $5 per ton
for beets which contain leas than 14
per cent sugar, and a corresponding
increase is allowed for a. higher sugar
