Sugar Expansion.
In an article in the June issue OF
Sugar Beets will be found q state
ment of the number of factories, OF
present average output, which would
be required to make sugar enough
to supply the home demand in the
United States alone. This was es-
timated at about seven hundred
more factories, which added to the
present number, would total about
seven hundred and forty. The for
ty-three factories now in operation
have an average daily capacity OF
about six hundred tons of beets per
day. To arrive at the cash invest
ment, exclusive of lands, involved in
these factories it will be approx
mately correct to say that the esti-
mate 500, 900 for each hundred tons
capacity will be fairly accurate. The
forty three factories enumerated in
Sugar Beets have a total daily ca
pacity of 26,35O tons per day, which
would show probable cash invest
ment of $28,35O,OOO. II we add
seven hundred similar factories at

hundred tons per day to be $444,-
100000.
Let us turn for q moment to the
eject that the building of these
sugar factories would have upon the
farming lands adjacent.
II experiences in the western
tates, and particularly in the arid
sections, are to be taken ~ . basis it
would seem that the location Of
sugar factory factory in any district
Immediately adds from t25 to $50
per acre to the selling values of ir-
rigable lands. In many places q
much larger increase has been noted,
but nowhere less than $25 per acre.
II We cannot be deemed too opti-
mistic then, in estimating the rise in
value Of lands 80 affected, to be from
e30 tip $40 per acre.
The average product of an acre Of
sugar beets is about two tons Of
sugar and the custom Of rotating
crops 30 that beets are raised but
svery fourth year on the same ground
gives us further data.
To produce 100000 more tons
Of sugar would therefore require
$50, 900 acres of land, and since by
reason of rotation Of crops, We must
multiply this sum by four. We oh
tain result of 3,4OO, 900 acres as be.
ing necessary to add to the present
sugar beet area, in order to supply
the home market alone.
If We add $35 per acre to the past
valuation, We find that seven hun.
dred beet sugar factories would in
crease land values with tho immedi-
ste requirements Of the industry to
the enormous amount Of &110,OOO,-
900. 1t is also perfectly fair 70 as.
sumo that . considerable area Of
land, not used for best culture, but
In the vicinity Of factories, will
share in the rise a. values. A. this
teAnnot Be sccuratsly estimated, ws
| leave that item 10 the eonisstuEs d
the reader.
The cultivation Of 30 much land
by new methods, would also involve
nsw machinery, and thus, largely
stimulate the agricultural implement
business.
New railroads would be required
and vast sums would be spent in r.
rigation and reservoir systems.
To grow the beets and convert
thsm into sugar would require the
labor of from 100000 to 100000
mon. These, with their families
would represent q population Of
from 500, 900 to 100000.
That section of the United States
which is demonstrated to be the best
adapted to the sugar beet will un-
doubtedly secure the larger portion
of this great increase. However, it
must not be overlooked that, by rea-
son Of state aid and local enterprise,
there will be many factories built in
the sugar beet zone farther east.

Last Sunday evening when the

section. He is the oldest settler
now living in the county, having
come here in 1872. There were no
railroads, no towns and but very few
people here IT that time and Mr..
Cores can relate many interesting
