DIR. Smith on the Sugar Industry.
DIR. Mcneil Smith, late of Middesex hos
ptal, London, is in the city for days visit.
The doctor, by the way, is one of the di-
rectors of the Wellheet Real Estate and I'm
provement company, and will locate in Well
fleet permanently. He says he expects to
engage in the practice of his profession.
1t will be remembered that the improve
ment company cited has for its chief purpose
the erection aud equipment of a sugar re-
tinery. The practical tests are to be made
during the present season, and, if satisfac-
tory, the erection of the refinery will be COM
mcnccd at the earliest possible moment next
spring. The quality of the sugar-beet has
already been tested, and the only question to
be determined IS, can the beet be raised in
sufficient quantity on Nebraska soil! In
answer to the question, "lf you have tested
the quality of the Nebraska rails ed beet, how
does it compare with the beet Of Germany or
France, with which L suppose you are ia
miliar!n
~ can say that the Nebraska
beet is vastly superior. The beet raised here
yields 10 ana 1910 per cent sugar, while
the beet raised in the old countries only
yields 8 and IL per cent. These per cents are
both maXimums.
"Do you think the sugar industry will pay
in this statel'
Eyes, l think So The only question is,
will the soil grow them here in sufficient
quantity. We will be able to fully test the
matter this summer. If the quantity proves
to be sufficient, the industry will pay better
than raising hogs or cattle"
''You like the country, presumeW
'Very much. nave been here but three
weeks, and am very favorably impressed
with the country"
