Sugar Factory Progress and Local Prosperity in Rocky Ford
Preliminary talks for the sugar factory buildings proceed smoothly amid vast sums at stake. The site is fixed, a switch route determined, and three half blocks purchased for right of way costing nearly 8000. Citizens’ support, including subscriptions, fuels progress as Rocky Ford eyes rural free delivery and a thriving economy. A Farmers Institute lecture by Dr. Aylesworth is anticipated, with strong turnout urged. The district faces mixed harvests but rising bank deposits reflect wealth and expected in-migration from Eastern seekers, while a harsh critique of the touring Stage production Black Crook Jr. cautions rural values against urban vice.
