Show WESTERN SUGAR FOR WESTERN PEOPLE The suggestion lias been made that "sugar week" be recognized in Colorado. Colo-rado. But why limit it to one week and why confine it to Colorado? The beet sugar industry distributes millions among farmers, labor, manufacturers, man-ufacturers, supply houses and railroads rail-roads annually in western states. Every westerner should buy sugar manufactured in the West and help build up our beet sugar industry. It has been proved beyond argument argu-ment that the quality Qf beet sugar is equal to cane and many candy and jam manufacturers prefer it. Western sugar factories pay high prices for beets and labor in competition compe-tition with the cheaper grown foreign for-eign product. Other countries have encouraged their sugar industry by various methotls of protection. Western beet sugar production must be protected and encouraged it it is to hold its own in these strenuous strenu-ous times of unrestricted competition, competi-tion, until the world strikes a balance along normal lines. Let us not limit the sugar movement move-ment to Colorado or for one week. Let us make it "western sugar for western people" and develop this industry. |
