WILL FEED THE BEETS TO CATTLE
Sugar Trust Will Get No Material
If It Cuts Prices
FARMERS SAY THERE IS NO PROFIT AT 450
Colorado Sugar Boet Growers Association Can Turn
the Product Into Beef at a Profit
Unless the sugar trust shows a willingness to be fairer to the
farmers of the state it may have difficulties in supplying its factories
with raw material State Senator W A Drake a delegate to the
Colorado Sugar Beet Growers association which is holding its con
vention at the chamber of commerce says that he will feed his
sugar beets to his stock unless the sugar trust is willing to pay at
least a ton flat rate
Cattle fed on sugar beets gain three pounds a day said Sena
tor Drake When such results can be obtained and they cannot
be obtained with any other food there is no use selling our beets for
less than 5 a ton We can make at least 5 a ton on the beets by
selling them in beef
THE TRUST WANTS BEETS GROWN AT 4 50 A TON
The sugar trust is working to lower the price of beets to 4 50
a ton The trust will save 1 20 000 annually if it can force the price
of beets 50 cents lower This is the golden egg the sugar trust is
trying to get possession of by crying for the maintenance of the tariff
on sugar from Cuba and the Philippines
The second and perhaps last day session of the beet growers of
the state was a lively one Most of the work developed upon com
mittees The committee on nominations and the committee on new
contracts were the busiest
The nomination committee agreed to recommend the selection of
a man from the northern part of the state as president in the place
of William B Ebert of Rocky Ford the acting president The com
mittee found much good timber for the office but it was said this
morning that it would go to either State Senator W A Drake or J
S McClelland both of Fort Collins R Q Tenney of Fort Collins
will in all probability be elected secretary of the permanent organiza
tion
The contracts committee ran against some snags A majori
ty favored a flat rate of 5 a ton for beets regardless of the quantity
of sugar in them Some of the committee wanted more than 5
One of the difficulties met with us is that many of the farmers in
the Arkansas valley have contracts extending until 19 10 and it will
be impossible to break them unless the sugar factories consent The
contracts call for a percentage basis in the payment for the beets
and for that reason a flat rate could not at present be made to apply
to the crops of those having long contracts with the companies
The question of asking the sugar factories to furnish seed at 10
cents a pound instead of at 15 cents a pound as at present was
also taken up by the contracts committee A majority agreed that
10 cents is enough
The committees on nominations and contracts will report this
afternoon
GROWERS ONLY WANT TOvPROTECT THEIR OWN INTERESTS
The morning was given over to the careful preparation of a con
stitution and by laws and when the meeting adjourned for luncheon
an effort was being made to agree to the question of dues The
basis of representation to the state association from the local organi
zations was changed so that each local is entitled to one delegate
for each fifty members or major fraction thereof providing that each
local shall have at least two delegates to the state couvention
Senator Drake chairman of the committee on resolutions pre
sented a resolution defining the attitude of the association The re
solution said that it was not the intention of the state association to
antagonize the factories and that the only object the beet growers
have in revising the contracts is to protect themselves without injury
to the factories The interests of the growers the resolution said
are the interests of the factories and vice versa One is dependent
upon the other and the organization wishes the most cordial rela
tions to exist between farmers and factories
The resolution committee did not prepare any resolutions anent
the sugar tariff question Senator Drake explained the omission by
saying that the matter had been gone into fully at a recent meeting
of the Northern sugar growers and that the resolutions committee
did not believe that it was necessary to again travel over the same
ground The beet sugar growers recently resolved that they are op
posed to the reduction of tariff on sugar from Cuba and the Philip
pines
Many of the farmers do not believe that the reduction of the
tariff would materially affect the sugar situation in this state and
look upon the agitation of the Great Western Sugar company as a
blind to enable it and the other companies doing business in Colorado
to lower the price of sugar beets
Upon invitation of the Denver Chamber of Commerce the dele
gates to the convention took luncheon in the dining room of the
chamber where they were addressed by President J S Temple
MR STONE URGES FARMERS TO FORM A STATE ORGANIZATION
W G M Stone of the Denver Chamber of Commerce urged
the beet men to work for a farmers week a week in each year
when the various organizations of farmers beet raisers etc shall
meet in Denver to hold conventions The simultaneous conventions
would secure better rates from the railroads and would give the farm
ers of the state an opportunity to become acquainted Mr Stone
urged the formation of a farmers state association
The beet producers took up the question of siloing or cover-
ing and uncovering ot beets with dirt 1 hey agreed that it was
worth 1 or more a ton to silo beets The farmers in the south
ern part of the state are now paid 20 cents a ton for siloing by the
factoriesandtheir crops shrink from 15 to 25 per cent by the method
This is a gain to the factories as they do not have to pay for such
great weight yet the beets contain the same quautity and quality of
sugar
