Show TIIH ,M.GMTUJK OE V.F.KT CHOP On the basis of the heavy estimated estimat-ed crop ot beets to be harvested this fall, it is calculated that beet growers grow-ers in the sixteen districts of the Great Western Sugar company in Colorado, Nebraska, Montana and Wyoming, will receive approximately $18,000,000 in cash for their crop. Almost as large a total expenditure will lie made for labor, it is calculated, calculat-ed, reckoning on an .expected average factory campaign of 100 days. The amount which will be paid by other beet companies of the West will probably bring the total amount paid the farmer for beets to over $100,000,000, exclusive of an amount almost as large for the cost and labor of turning the beets into sugar. |
