.SUUAH COMPANY WILL
DEVELOP NEW TEHKrTOKY
To offset a possibility that the boot
growers between North Platte -and
Hcrshoy may not accept any proposi
tion that may bo made by tho Ameri
can Boot Sugar Company,, that com
pany Jb developing nov torrltory ac
cording to a stntcmont mado yc'storday
by John Bryan, field agent for tho
company. According to Mr. Bryan tho
field to bo developed will bo eastern
Lincoln, Dawson and Buffalo counties,
In which territory he is now at work
making contracts for the present year.
Asked whether beets could bo success
fully grown on unirrlgated land, Mr.
Bryan stated that good results had
been attained around Grand Island on
dry land, and also in sections of Buf
falo county.
Tho fnct that tho American Com
pany is developing new territory can
bo taken as evidence that the demands
made by tho growers comprising tho
Lincoln and Keith counties' associa
tion will not be granted. To tho out
sider it would seem that tho sliding
scalo demanded by tho beet growers is
a fair proposition ; that tho higher tho
price of BUgar tho more money tho
factory can afford to pay for beets and
it is on this basis that tho farmers
ask the factprles to do business with
them.
In growing beets tho farmer needs a
good margin of profltto offset tho con
tingencies in tho way of beet worms,
hail and other drawbacks which are
possibilities during tho grqwing sea
son. In somo Instances last year the
Meet worms wore responsible for a
thirty to fifty por cent reduction In tho
yield, and growers thus affected lost
money on the crop.

May Reach Understanding'
Sugar beot men of tho city are
hopeful of reaching un understanding
with tho American Beet Sugar Re

land, on a rato to bo paid for beets
this year. As a result of conferences
hold with tho roflnory officials it is
believed that somo scale of pay will
be tondorcd that is agreeable Tho
growers aro also insured, In a meas
ure, that they will bo given a bonus
of ono dollar por ton for boots de
livered last year. This will put them
on a par with growors in tho westorn
part of tho state nnd incidentally
spqlls tho difference between making
or (losing money on their 1919 crop
to many of the growors.
'tjlio growors aro still holding out
forf adoption of tho national scale,
agreed upon nt the recent meeting in
Denver. It Is almost certain this
scalo will bo adopted, at least in part
and thus a favorable compromise
may bo arrived at. Tho refinery offi
