The EXAMPLE FROA COLORADO The Orange J udd Farmer, published at Chicago, New York and Springfield, Mass, one of the most influential agricultural . papers In the United States, has the following Interesting Item In its Issue of April 14 regarding the ralslue of sugar beets and the beueflt of a factory to a community. At this time, an' Eugene and Lane couuty are becoming interested in a proposal to establish such an industry here, It will prove a much-appreciated eource of Information. The great Importance of a beet sugtt factory 111 developing agricultural prosperity Is strikingly showu by the results of the Colorado Suirar Man ufacturing Co's operations at Grand Junction. This comoany has $400,000 In vested In this factory, maohluery, etc, and $80,000 in farm lauds. It controls by ownership or lease WOO aores, ot which 1000 will be devoted to beets In 1900. In addition to this area, 3500 acres of beets will bo grown fur the factory by outside farmers. Some of these beets are grown at a considerable distance aud slilpped to the factory by rail, 75 miles being tbe extreme limit of such shipments. Those that are grown wlihlu seven miles, however, are hauled on wagon. The factory's capacity is 400 tons of beets per day, and between 00,000 and 70, 000 tons ure needed to meet its require meuts for a sugar "campaign" or season. Of tliis quantity tbo company raises about 15,000 tons, and the bal ance, say 6U,0. J tous, is growu by farmers. The price paid is $4 50 per tou ut the lactory, muklug a total payment to farmers of $-2u,0j0 annu ally. In growing beets on its own loud, the company employs 300 luborers, anil 130 are employed In the faotory during the busy season Altogether the concern pays 180,000 for labor. This inakoH a total disburse meut to farmers aud laborers of $800, OOOeach year. Anyone familiar with with the conditions that prevail lu the furml ig sections can realize what it meaus to expend $300,000 every year iu a limited farming and villaire com munity. It means prosperity with a big P. The entire cost of plowing, seedlug, cultivating, thinning, hoeing, harvest lug and delivery to the faotory Is a little lees than $25 per aero In this part of Colorado. This Is assuming the farmer hires all his work and pays $3 per day for a man and two-horse team, and $1.50 for a man and 75 cents lor a boy. Delivery to fuotory Is estimated at $1 per ton, but this Item of course varies with the distance, and whether shipped by rail or delivered by wagon Rail freight rauges from 35 cents U $1.50 per ton, according to distance Tbe average yield is 15 tons per aore, which -ot $4.50 per ton gives a return o M7.60. Deduotlng tbe gross coBt of $25 there is u net profit of $42.50 per aore, When the work la done by the farmer aud bis family and with his own teams, be does not feel the cost, because It has been doue with a very small outlay ol money. In addition to this, tbe pulp or beet refuse remaining after the sugar has been extracted Is a valuable cattle food, selling at the very low price of 50 cents tier ton. This enables the farmer to greatly iucrer.se his stock, and besides making a profit on the animals, keep up the fertility of bis land through the manure obtained. General agricultural prosperity is most clearly shown In the price of land. If farmers are prosperous and have a reasonable expectation of coo tii ulug so, the price of land rises when tbey are losing money It falls, What is the result at Grand Junction? Before this faotory was established laud was held at $30 per sore; now a fair valuation for sugar beet land Is $60 tier acre. For all the farming land here, the estimated increase In value caused by the building of this factory, Is $800,000, and the town property has increased $200,000, making a total Increase of $1,000,000 through the suc cessful operation of this factory. The Importance of the beet sugar Industry to the farmer cannot be more strikingly -Ijown man in aiuuyiug mo reiuim. Grand Junction. ....Special for One Week.... Ladies, Hisses and Childrens Hose.
