BEET SUGAR REFINERY.
State Board of Commerce Will Con-
slider This Subject.

Interest in the beet sugar industry has
been aroused among farmers of Indiana by
the recent report of experiments made at
Purdue University, where it was demOnstra-
ted that beets grown in this State are from
40 to so per cent. richer in sugar than those
produced anywhere else, even in Germany,
the home of this industry. James Dobson.
of this city, has been gathering information
on the subject and is DESTROYS of engaging
in beet raising. providing a market can be
provided near at home. Recently he talked
with William Fortune, president of the
Commercial Club, with reference to the es-
tablishment of a refinery here. Mr.. Dobson
informed Mr.. Fortune that he had such
faith in the future of the industry he wanted
to go into it quite extensively. His Efor-
nation indicates forty tons of beets can be
grown in this State to the acre. The finest
beets bring 81 a ton, or $500 an acre, much
more than the average farmer now gets out
of his land
Mr.. Dobson has little information in re-
gard to the manufacturing end of beet SUI
gar making and President Fortune has but
little data at hand; Il understand" said
Mr.. Fortune yesterday, that Detroit capt.
talistS have been considering the proposition
of establishing a refinery in Indiana. Rich
mond is the site they are said to be con-
sidering now. When the State Board Of
Commerce meets next month it is the inten-
ton to have the commercial phases of this
fation have indicates that it takes q good
deal of capital and the employment of men
specially verSed in the business to success
fully conduct refinery. l understand a re-
finery in Nebraska has been profitable. AS
near as ! can learn, it would take perhaps
S25OCOO to establish a plant and as much
more for operating expenses and mainten-
ance until profits would begin to accrue,
so that it scarcely seems practicable to
operate refinery with d capital Of less than
$500 eco. l have some doubt to the posi-
BILE success of proposed farmers co-opera-
tive companies to manufacture sugar"
If Detroit capitalists or men of means
from other cities want to establish a refinery
in Indiana, Mr.. Fortune is anxious to have
Indianapolis selected. 1t is easy of access
from large and fertile tracts and would be
a desirable market place for farmers who
might desire to go into beet culture on an
extensive scale. Mr.. Dobson says he is will
ing. to raise a hundred-acre field as an ex-
where the beets could be sold.
