set up at Berthierville, Quebec, Canada
The perfection of the plant is guaranteed
The buildings are 80 constructed that
the capacity can be greatly enlarged when
needed. About 1000 acres of sugar beets
have been harvested, and the yield will be
from 10000 to $4,000 tons of promising
quality, although we have no analysis of
the crop. Most of the land is entirely
new, bearing its first crop this year. The
farmers we're also entirely unacquainted
with the culture of the beet root, and the
results in sight are more than gratifying.
Experiments made during the two years
previous gave most astonishing results,
the crop yielding from 12 to 81 tons per
acre, with an average sugar content of IS
per cent. If the commercial crop this
fall approximates these results 1t will
cause sensation in the sugar making
world. The company pays$4 per ton for
beets containing IA per cent sugar, with
25 cents per ton increase for each per
cent of sugar above IA and 25 cents re-
duction for each l per cent below H.
down to 10. Next year, it is believed
that not less than 1900 acres will be
grown for this factory and the promoters
of the enterprise talk of providing fac
tory capacity to take care of beets from
10000 acres. W. H. Holabird, general
manager Of the sugar company at Eddy,
is confident that, with just encourage
ment by congress, the arid southwest
under irrigation can produce all the sugar
needed in the United States. Whether
or not they can make money, without the
aid of the government in the way of
bounty or adequate revenue duty, is yet
uncertain. They believe that by the
closest economy and by employing labor
at the lowest possible price, they will
lose nothing this year. The present plant
cost about 100000.
