into a great and widespread business" said H.
Rogers Salmon. Of Milwaukee. at
THE the Hotel Imperial yesterday. Mr..
BEET Salmon is not Interested In the beet
SUGAR sugar industry. but is engaged In
INDUSTRY. handling various large tracts or
country land, and this industry
came 10 his attention. II have been astonshed
at the success OF the undertaking" he continued.
About four years ago company was organized
in Milwaukee and the business started They went
about twelve miles out OF the city. and took piece
OF property and put up works. An engineer and
expert from Germany brought here TO put up
the machinery and put in the plant In the four
years they have doubled their capacity. and are
now contemplating another addition. The business
is an interesting When the company first
started in they could induce farmers to grow
the beets for them. They had TO send TO Germany
and get the seed. give II 20 the farmer and give
him a guarantee before he would bother with II:
Last year they got enough beets within a radius OF
one hundred miles 10 keep the mill going. and M
they do not expect to nave to 60 further than
getting sugar is odd The farmer drives In with
his beets, and they turned over to be cleaned
crushed. The moasses crushed out is allowed 10
run down pipe into a vat The waste. after the
farmers wRo say UT makes Excellent fodder Then
this molasses is whirled around at terrific rate IN
heres the machine and the rest is thrown of: II
is queer TO see the dry, white come out or
the sticky dirty looking mass that goes in. This
stuff that is thrown of is kept, and can be used
over again and still great deal OF sugar is iound
TO have remained. This is poorer grade OF
sugar but sells readily The farmer gets his fair
share OF the money derived from the sugar made
from his beets, and he has found that the heets
pay far better than any other thing he could put
believe It is about three hundred barrels day-is
used in and around Milwaukee. 1t sells for the
other sugar. but the people seem TO IKE II
