AIvarado. which will close next week, has |
been the disposition of the pulp after the
SUGAR has been extracted. The company
has dairy ranch which it leases to par
ties who keep $50 head of COWS, but this |
number of animals can devour only a
fraction of the immense quantity of the !
pulp produced, and an effort has been
made Ia sell the residue. Farmers are
generally not informed about the value of
the pulp of the beet for cattle food, and
have been slow to recognize it, even at the
low figure of so cents per ton. The COM
pany has been giving away the material
TO any dairyman who would go for it, and
the manager states that he has seen as
many as twenty-six farmers wagons in
line at o'clock in the morning waiting
their turn to pass under the chute and OBJ
tain a load.
President Howard of the company be-
ieves that this years experimenting will
satisfy the farmers that the food has a
value and that next year there will be
demand for it. In Europe the question of
the nutritious ana milk-producing power
of the beet food has been exhaustively
studied and the verdict is in its favor.
