We clip the following from the Aug.
ust number of the Beet Sugar Gazette
1.-The Alma Sugar Company, which was
SO highly successful last year, will have
still more profitable campaign the
coming season Eight thousand acres
OF beets have been contracted for, and
farmers were clamoring for the privi-
lege of subscribing for more acreage
when the company closed its books.
This unusual and gratifying condition
is the result of the efforts of the able
manager of the factory, Mr.. f. X. Hath.
away, who is immensely popular with
the fan mers in that section, and whose
courteous treatment of beet growers
and clean business methods have made
him many friends. The teets in the
territory tributary to the factory are ex
ceptionally fine and give promise of a
very large yield"
