fore the iast of the present month ut
the earliest. The establishment u beet
sugar factories Ia America has been
quietly agiiating the minds Of our
thinking and progressive men for some

In conclusion We believe II f. hut
right 20 draw attention IN the fact that
heretofore all beet sugar machinery
erected In America has been imported
entirely from Europe, but In the Lehl

factory has all been built In America,

material aud from plans aud drawings
gotten up entirely by native born

and intelligence which Il first IN the
