A LITTLE MORE SUGAR.

In courteous letter to The HERALD,
Manager T. r. Cutler, of the Lehi Sugar
works, explains that the need of the works
for the next seasons operations is not a
greater acreage of beets, for the necessary
quantity is fully assured, but better
quality of beet, one that contains greater
amount of saccharine matter. He says
from present a ppearances the factory will
have 80, 600 tons of beets this year, about
as much as it can utilize until better edu-
Gated in preserving the beets from frost.
The great requirement now is the edu-
cation of the farmer in producing bet
ter beet which will be more profitable to
the works. A high price is given for the
roots, and raising them is quite profitable
to the farmer, but he will have TO improve
in their quality in order to maintain the
present price.
The intention is to double the capacity
of the works as soon as possible. for as
THE HERALD has stated, the home market
is not anything like supplied at present,
and if localities can be found as favorable
as that at Lehi for sugar works, plants
will have to be erected to furnish Utah
for its home demand and afterwards for
export. Every Utonion desires to see the
industries of the territory multiplied as
fast as the demand increases, and to see
home products patronized at home in
preference to imported articles.
