4 s..t sugar rassor For tIsnvsr.


It seems the business men Of Denver
are beginning 10 realize the Importance
inf erecting best sugar factory 1t that
place and are already taking steps to-
ward securing funds for that purpose.
II is the unanimous opinion that the
time has come for PROMPT action and it
is expected that tho great enterprise
will be set going NO that farmers may
plant beets next spring 70 be delivered
to the factory next fall. The Denver
News. always alive % enterprises Of
this kind. printed tho following int er.
view with Prof H. H. Nicholson. Who 10

the Univernty Of Nebraska: eve hays
two large factories for the manufacture
Of beet sugar 10 Nebasta. and. ~
have been interested IN The work from

quite sxlenSivsty. II was made l part
of the duties Of my department to loot
up the question for the state universit,
and We have spsnt years in making in
vestieatiobs In all phases Of beet rails
ing and the manufacture Of the crnde
product into the best sugar oifered in
the market. In the course Of my in
vestiRations came to the conclusion
that It would require 10O large factories
such as v have in our state to supply
the demand for sugar In Nebraska and
the states touching 1t on its four sides.
That may look like an extTavsgant es.
innate. but 1t Is sctuallv true. There are
100000 people In the belt that might
be supplied from Nebraska, aud the de.
mand IL slmost unlimited for the pro-
duct ofthe sugar mills.
FREiGnr HAUL A BARRIER.
~ will say this" continued the rro-
f.ssor. Colorado Is alinost .. fayorubly
located A. Nebraska and perhaps has n
better location as nlA,es 10 freight
raies from the seaboard. You are more
Isolated. and, therefore, have less 10
fear from competition from islands re-
Gently acquired by the United states j
would say that the long freight haul is
s,'ch . barrier that it will never he over
come. and Colorado will al~avs have N
marketst home and in the vicinity OF
this stale for all tl,s snesr mannfacl nred

is no fear of ou,si,ie competition. That

have Ipoked into in Nebraska.
"DeRv<r onxhi to Iais. the money for
the inst pL.nt y, this point or nearer
the beet fields" cannot Imagine
that y rerprctable committee. headed b,

hare To meet in Nebraska. The farm
srs are w,.ling to raise corn or wheat
but the raising Of besis is something
new, and il Is astonishing how much
argument IL requires to convime the
average sEicnlturiss that he can max e
three or four times as much money oIt
of Sugar beets as any other farm pro-
duct. He looks on incrednouslv. bu,
