900 to get the farmers to raising sugar
beets, and there were other expenses
incurred in starting the business that
will not occur again.
When asked how factory could be
started in Mankato, Mr.. Holman re-
piled that after sufficient acreage OF
beets was guaranteed say 5000 acres,
plenty Of capital would be forthcoming
from the east, and it would not be
necessary to raise much in Mankato,
but thought that it would be better to
raise 5000, OCO here so as to hold the
controlling interest here. He would
suggest that $3.50, 600 of bonds then be
issued, to run five years, and said that
these would .be jumped for at five per
cent interest. They could be taken up
or renewed after they come due.
Mr.. Holman stated that factory
costs about 81 900 to each ton of its
daily capacity Thus, $50 ton fac
tory would cost $3.50, 900. 1t would not
pay to put up factory of less capacity,
and there would be more profit ia = 80
ton factory, costing about $41O, 600
While 3. 900 acres of beets would be
plenty for the first year, 5000 ar'
would be needed after that. About
5000, 900 gallons of water day is
needed while the factory is in operation
but this can be gotten by sinking ar
tesian wells or by pumping from the
river.
When it was suggested that a plant
for making crude sugar might be
erected here, and the product shipped
to some other factory for refinement
Prof. Holman said that this would not
pay at all. The refni' 6 machinery
would not cost over $50, 600, which
would be but small per cent add
tlonal investment.
Unlike most other industries, the
beet sugar factories are not jealous OF
the springing up OF other factories but
encourage them. Michigan has six
factories now, tuT0o USluS III ohO Sdoy /,
and three more are talked of. The e
were all constructed with home capital
The farmers would make the eighty
cents ton now paid in freight on beets
sent to st. Louis Park if there was a
factory in Mankato, and this would
amount to $12 an acre, or a very good
return on the land
Prof. Holman said that it is now too
late to erect sugar factory in Man
kato the coming year, as the machinery
factories cannot fill any more orders
than what they have on hand. There
are now three of these factories and
with the competition afforded improve
ments are continually being made in
the machinery, but the prices remain
the same. The machinery alone for the
ST. Louis Park factory cost $3.50, 900.
Mr. Holman is enthusiastic over the
beet sugar question and believes that a
factory would be splendid investment
for the. money now lying idle in our
banks or only drawing three or four
per cent.

SUGAR FACTORY.
Expert Agricultmalist Holman
Visits NankatO.
Tells How Factory Can be Built Here,
What it Will Cost, and Its
Benefits.

M. M. Holman, the expert agrfcul-
turalist of the st. Louis Park oeet
sugar factory, arrived in the cityFrlday
night and returned home Saturday
noon. The object of his visit was to
encourage the putting in OF larger
acreage of sugar beets than last year, to
help supply his factory. The st. Louis
Park factory had only 11,444 tons OF
beets to work on last fall and was In
operation only from Oct 18th to Dec.
4th The factory lost lot of money,
because it did not have enough beets.
but it is hoped that there will be no
difficulty of this nature hereafter, as
the farmers who raised beets last year
were so well pleased with their returns
that they will put in several times the
acreage this year. The factory could
use 80, 900 tons easily, and then not
run six months. The factory ought to
run from Sept. LIST to March 1st.
In talking to reporter about the st.
Louis Park factory, Mr. Holman said
that it employs two hundred men dur
ing the time that it is running. The
wages paid the common labor are 81 10
q day, while the skilled workmen re-
ceive from $1.75 to $40 a day. The
factory paid on an average $3.50 a ton
for beets last fall, expanding about
$50, 600 for this purpose. A bounty OF
one cent pound is paid by the state1
but Mr.. Holman thinks that after, a
few years it will not be nece- sary to
give a bounty. The factory spent $780,
