Are the people of Colorado to see the death of the beet nugar Industry , Just as Norfolk did , because of n luck of boots with which lo run the fnc- lories ? The factory nt Lamnr , which wns removed to that place from Norfolk , Is standing idle this yenr because the farmers of tbnt vicinity did not raise beets enough to run the plant. It was not due to drouth , but due to the fact that outside the immediate vicin ity of Lniinir the farmers raised other things than heels. This is the ver sion of the situation brought to Nor folk by Clarence Gorocke , who Is just homo from Colorado. Las Animns Plant in Danger. Mr. Geroeke also mys that the fac tory at Las AnimaK , Colo. , the largest sugar factory in the woild at Ihls dine , is in danger of not running next year because the farmers of that sec tion won't raise the beets. Tlio United Status marine hospital located here , bo says , proves too at tractive to Hie farmers to allow llio beet to nourish. This hospital furn ishes a market for all sorts of farm produce at liigii prices and llio boot , .vhicli requires hard work , suffers as l consequence. The factory which ran in Norfolk . 'or thirteen years , and which later was dismantled and shipped to Lamar - mar , Colo. , was linally dosed , the fac tory people said , because the farmers bore did not ralso enough boots with which to supply it. And it was argued that the farmers hero could too easily ralso other crops to justify them in the extraordinarily hard work of heel raising. The factory people dismantled the plant here , shipped it to Lamar , Colo. , and now , four years Inter , find the factory standing idle owing to the same condition there which , in Nor folk , caused them fo move. The question naturally arises , In view of such a situation , whether or not the boot sugar factory Industry is to survive or perish In Amorlcn. Beet Crowded Out. Upon the face of things It would appear that as fast as a soil becomes suited to the raising of other kinds of crops , requiring not so much hard work and close attention , the beet loses out. And experience seems to Indicate that it reijnlros only a fe v years , with the progress irrigation Is making , to so cultivate- any soil that it will produce many crops bosldo the beet. beet.With With this shutting down of factor ies owing to a lack of the , supply of beets , and with the inclination to cut down Hie tariff on sugar , which will In turn cut down the prices oven now paid for beets as an inducement to get them grown , the obseiver can not W but wonder whether the beet sugar Industry is to live or die in the United States. The removal of the beet sugar fac tory from Norfolk left a magnificent factory building , with much fertile land , In the hands of the original local donors to the Industry. For four years that factory now has stood empty and idle , and nt this time no sleps , HO far as known , ivre being lakon by anybody to get a new Indus try to use the buildings.
