Sugar from sorghum was manufactured
in small way many years ago, and it was
then demonstrated that the Utah cane was
such as would produce excellent sugar.
For years the question of sugar works was
agitated, and finally the matter began to
assume tangible form by the incorporation
of the Utah sugar company in 1889. As
early as 1855, Arthur Stayner, Elias Nor
ris, Francis Armstrong and Amos Howe
were named as committee with iustruc-
tions to investigate the possibilities of pro-
ducing, at profit, sugar in Utah. The
idea at first was to manufacture it from
sorghum and with this in view the
gentlemen named visited Fort Scott Kan,
and made an exhaustive inspection of the
factory there. The result of the visit was
recommendation that the idea of using
sorghum be abandoned and beets used in
stead. The next visit was to the beet sugar
plants at Alvarado and jacksonville, Cali
fornia, in 1889, and when they reported

The first wheel began to revolVe on Oc-
tober II of this year, and the first sugar
was turned out on the a. The announce
ment that the enterprise was complete
success was then made, and it was with
pardonable pride that every Utah man
hailed the news. The arrival of
the first carload of Utah sugar in this city
was celebrated in a betting manner.
Those who had expressed their doubts ex-
amlned the quality and admitted that the
sugar was fully the equal of the California
product, while local confectioners are
quoted as saying tor their purposes it is
superior. The works ran steadily from
the date of starting up till Tuesday, the
22d, when they We're closed, the supply of
oeets having been exhausted. The output

to the company out to the farmers of Utah,
has been demonstrated-th that sugar beet cul-
ture is one of the most profitable industries
that the farmer can engage in. Potatoes and
other field crops are now going begging,
whereas the beets have all been sold and,
what is of more consequence to the grower,
paid for. We have the testimony of many
farmers who have raised other field pro-
ducts that their beet crop was by far the
most profitable, and these will plant many
more acres next year than they
did this. They will have far greater sue
cess in the future, too. There were but
few, if any, of the farmers planting beets
this year who had any experience in their
cultivation and consequently were unable

They have been very patient with US when,
because of the demand, we have been I'M
able to fill their orders as quickly as we
could have desired, and they have taken
pleasure in putting forth the home article
in preference TO any other. Nearly all our
orders were booked at least ten days in ad-
vance of the manufacture of the sugar, and
we did the best we could under the circum-
stances "
The company's beet farm of 500 acres
gives employment to $50 men during the
growing and gathering season, and during
the months of producing, about 225 men and
various teams are employed, so it is easy
to compute how much benefit the sugar

Up to the time the sugar beet was planted
here it had never been raised by irriga-
ton, so it was q somewhat daring expert
ment to undertake the cultivation of this
crop in the arid region, where the main de-

watering. 81 am prepared to say now,n

however, it seems difficult to make the
farmer understand. The chief difficulty is
his disposition to raise big beets. Now.

average beet of this size will go IA per cent
in sugar and so per cent in purity. Beets
weighing 4 to 10 pounds will show not
more than to per cent of sugar and 40 to
90 per cent in purity
The success of the factory depends
largely upon the farmers who supply it
with the beets that are converted into
sugar. No one need be afraid that the
beet market will be overstocked. The
company is prepared to take pay for and
handle all the beets that can be raised in
tab. Let Utah farmers do all they can
to encourage this home enterprise in reach

territory with that most necessary article,

the valleys of Utah with better
success than could cane. Experiments
proved that the sugar beet grown in Utah
was the equal of any known up to the pres
ent time, and it was this that decided the
building of the factory, which has sprang
into existence during the past twelve
months. 1t seemed another hazardous
undertaking, it must be admitted, for
it involved the outlay of $780, 200

it from Europe. The farmer gets it for IS
cents pound and pays for it when the
beets are delivered. He requires from ten
to fifteen pounds per acre. The beet crop
can be handled, including every expense,
from time of planting to the time when the
beets are laid down at the factory, for $40
an acre. After the first thinning one man
can take care of from ten to fifteen acres.
For the first thinning a man must devote
four or i've days to an acre. Nearly all the
farmers say that they are so we'll satisfied
with this years results that they will set
aside four or five times as much land for
beets next year.

BOUNTIFULS OPERA HOUSE.

throw open its doors to the public on the
evening of December so, the attraction

Salt Lake, in the Bankers Daughter"
The new building, which has been in
course of construction for some time past,
is the finest and largest edifce in Davis
county, and cost $50, 900. 1t is built of brick
and stone, and the combination in the front
is quite handsome, pressed brick being
used with the stone in that part of the
building. The house will seat 500 people,
and as the three Bountiful wards on which
it will draw for patronage have popula-
ton of 8, 500, there is little question about
the opera house being well supported. Con-
venient seats have been provided to en-
sure the comfort of auditors, handsome
drop curtain was painted in Salt Lake and
adequate scenery provided for all ordinary
uses.
Mr.. G. H. hampton, the well-known
Bountiful merchant, has had a large share
of the work of putting up the opera house
and managing it. The new building is a
work of decided enterprise and public
spirit, and it should prove paying invest
ment to the company that erected it.
