Feet Sugar ACTIVITY.

There is already a movement on
foot to establish a beet sugar manu-
factory in Minneapolis. and it IL an
nounced hat beet seed Is beins OBJ
tanned in various portions of the state
anu many farmers are planting 1t ex-
pvrimentally. The legislative appro-
pfiation and the efforts of the agricul-
no doubt enable farmers to Sc .ure an
ample supply OF seed, and 1t is to be
loped that the result of This years
experiments will be such as to justify
them in engaging to furnish, next
year, any quantity that a beetery here
Or elsewhere may be desirous OF con-
tracing for.
Two things are essential &c the sue
cess of the beet sugar industry in
this state. First, a modern manufac-
turing plant, with experienced Ihen to
run it; and second, an ample supply
Of teets containing a profitable per-
centage of saccharine matter. The
first they had at Menominee. Wiscon-
sin, but failed, temporarily. for the
lack CT the second essential. The
same mistake ought not 20 ne made.
and probably will not be aue in
Minnesota. If capitalists put in a
beet sugar factory at Minneapolis they
will no doubt take pains to assure
themselves in advance, of ample sup
ply of beets of good quality. A dis
patch from Albert Lea says that about
one hundred farmers in that vicinity
have agreed to plant more or less
beet sugar seed. This is a movement
in the right direction. Let the farm
ers in Hennepin and other counties
follow their example.
1t is estimated that the first factory
established in this state will employ
400 to 200 men. and will be able TO
consume the product of several thou
sand acres of land. This will be
notable addition to Minnesota's in
dustries-and W. are justified in pre-
dieting that it will be only the begin
ming of an important Development
