and brought about thorough iuvestiga-
tlon OF the possibility and practicab:lity of
establishing the industry on a large scale
and that this might be satisfactorily ac-
compllshed the Utah Sugar company was
Incorporated, and a committee was ap-
pointed by them and sent to visit the
sorghum sugar factories in the east and

plants now in operation, raw material and
manufacture and the amount of actual
sugar output. Said committee consisted of
Messrs. Elias Morris, Amos Howe, Franc 6
