Show GREAT DEMAND FOR SUGAR PRODUCTION That there never was a greater great-er demand for the production of sugar su-gar and a need for the ejection of mew factories than now. is the opinion opin-ion of the directors of the Gunnison Valley Sugar company, which is completing its new plant near Gunnison. Gun-nison. It is pointed out that, due to the wonton and unprecedented destruction of sugar factories in Rolgium and France, and the forced suspension of others because of fi-'innrial fi-'innrial and labor conditions it wil1 !ie years before the sugar supply can catch up with the demand. Rpports which are beginning to lent- out from the Central empire" ""id Russia, after so long a. period o' strict censorsbio. indicate that un-'s' un-'s' some outside aid is furnished, 'he conditions prevailing there win 'e worse than last year. According fo novices received recently in New v"rk. the sivgar beet crop in Ger-"'nv Ger-"'nv will be even less than the 1917 --nn will not he increased 1.550.000 tons, a figure which is far below the normal. In the former Russian e"-nire e"-nire the production for the 191S-1919"season 191S-1919"season will not exceed 500 00" tens which is less than one-third normal pre-war production, aceord-,r"T aceord-,r"T to a renort nuhliched in the Am-oipnn Am-oipnn Piiar RuHefin.

It is thought that this increase in-crease is indicative of the future and, for many years to come, at least, there will be a demand for more sugar than, we will be able to produce. At present only 24 per cent ot tne amount, consumed in the country is domestic grown. That ("Junuison Vallev is entitled to, and will receive the benefits offered by the present favorable situation, is the statement of the Gunnison Sugar Su-gar company. It is pointed out that approximately 125 of the beet growers grow-ers for the company are stockholders also and as such will have an additional ad-ditional share in the profits of the company. A |
