McCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA THURSDAY EVENING DECEMBER 15 1910
MEETS PROSPECTIVE GROWERS
Mr Giese Makes Known the Plans
of the Great Western Sugar
1 Company
Monday afternoon the McCook
Commercial club held a special ses
sion to confer with Mr Giese repre
senting The Great Western Sugar
Co and to consider and talk over
the beet sugar situation with farmers
and other interested ones in this vi
cinity
Quite a number of farmers who
are prospective beet growers were
present with club members
i Mr Giese laid bare the purpose and
contract of the company which is
in fine as follows
i Assuming that the acerage planted
in the McCook district will be at
least 1000 acres they will come into
this territory next season
j They will pay So flat per ton Beets
will be weighed at McCook Red j
luvv auu me uire win ue ue i
ducted at the local weighing stations j
and payment will be made on these j
weights on the 15th of each month i
for beets delivered up to the 15th
of each preceeding month No more
than 25 per cent of each growers I
crop will be required siloed and it
is expected that the per cent will be j
less than 25 j
1 The company will if the average
reaches 300 acres or more adjacent
to these locations erect dumps and j
scales at the three points above in-
dicated These dumps will cost about
2000 each so it will appear at once
that the company is in earnest and j
I hopes to make this territory
nent
A resident agriculturist will be lo
cated here It is most probable that
Mr Reybright will be the man He
is practical and experienced and will
give the growers every assistance
and advice
The company has reduced the price
of seed from 15 to 10 cents per pound
jReseeding will be at 5 cents per lb
i Pay for seed will be deducted from
first shipment of beets
The Tribune is pleased to add
that the prospects are most encour
aging that the total i 000 acres will
be contracted for the season 1911
The Great Western Sugar Co has
11 factories 9 in Colorado They paid
in 1910 for beets in Colorado
S4320000 At Brush they paid for
beets in 1910 8360000 Their Octo
ber pay roll for Fort Morgan and
Brush was 85000 and for all their
factories it will reach 1500000
University Glee Club Coming
It is to be hoped that when the
University Glee Club visits our town
on their holiday trip that our people
will look upon their coming in the
light of a civic as well as a state af
fair It cannot help giving the town
a certain business distinction to be
numbered among seventeen of the
best towns in the state and the
club can fill no more dates than
that at this time
Those musicians at the University
who have the club in charge feel
that no stronger organization has
ever been sent out to represent the
I musical ability of the school and as
their practice will continue until time
to begin their trip great confidence
is felt concerning their success
If the musical and school people
of the town unite in their efforts to
promote the entertainment great ben
fit may be derived from the Glee
Clubs appearance here
Association is the only thing known
to bridge the difference of understand
ing between the schools and the Uni
versity Many students discontinue
school in the grades or at the end
of their high school course because
they feel that those who are in school
of special training are not of their
world This feeling will be overcome
when representative men from these
schools meet the students in their
own towns filled with the school
spirit that must unite all classes of
students
If the high school students give
their class yells they readily feel the
response when the University men
echo their own school yells
