THE WORK 0F TIE FACTORY S;ssSSsS $; ,
A Resume of the Business of This
institution During the
Past Year.
A LARGE INCREASE OVER PRE-.
NI)US YEAR

Although il has been several weeks
since the actual closing of the campaign
OF the sugar factory we have been un.
able TO give TO our readers any facts in
regard to the amount of work done,
sugar manufactured, or the amount of
money expended for freight, fuel labor,
etc, until now for the reason that il has
taken some time TO get the books of the
company balanced up so that any facts
or figures could be given out with any
amount of accuracy.
Last Monday at the meeting of the
stockholders, +. Il. Hathaway. the treas
urcr and general manager, made his re-
port of the years work and the figures
we herewith publish are taken from
this report.
The length of the campaign, or actual
running time OF the factory Was seventy
one days of twenty four hours each, and
during that time 100000 pounds Of
sugar were manufactured. The company
started i'm with ga contractors. repre-
souting an acreage of 3, Poo acres or an
average of five and one tenth acres per
contractor The average yield per acre
was little better than ten tons and the
per cent of suga.' to tho ton was II ..
The average amount paid Der ton was
S5.42 or n total OF Sl,4,565.97. This
money was distributed among the farm
ers, the GA contractors who raised
beets for the Alma Sugar Go.
To manufacture the sugar from these
beets it required 9,l5O tons of coal for
the year supply 1t also took ?, 100
tons of lime rock 70 furnish the lime
water for purifying the sugar.
For freight the company paid out S3l,
1868 and for wages and salaries S53,
923. The sum total paid out by the
company for beets, wages and freight
reached the enormous figures of $500
1881. This does not represent what
was paid out by the company for coal,
lime rock, repairs and other expenses
too numerous 10 mention.
The outlook for the ensuing year is
still better than the one just closed pro-
viding il is fair season. The farmers
have learned how to grow the bcetS TO
better advantage, and also how TO grow
better bcets TO meet this extra acreage
and in order 10 take care Of the beets

Seed Distribution

In another column will be found the
announcement from Congressman
Newlands for the free distribution OF
Government seeds, The object OF this
distribution is to have the farmers and
those who are interested in the rails
ing of garden truck plant the seeds
grown by the government that they
may experiment with seeds that are the
best adapted to the soil of different To-
calities. Through this work many OF
the plants that are supposed to be ad
apted to local points have been sown
in all regions, and the result is that all
the farming localities have discovered
that the experiments made possible by
the government through the State rep
resentatives in Congress, have given
the United States many plants that
would be unknown without this aid.
Mr.. Newlands is always ready to aid
in any way the people in securing what
they wish to experiment with in this
line

First to Plant Alfalfa.

Chile clover, better known as alfalfa
was introduced in Carson valley in
1864. AT that time J. P. Pettigrew had
heard Of it as most nutricious fodder
and as an experiment planted four &C

wood grove on what has been known
as the Pettigrew ranch. east of Gard
nerville. Here the plant hourished and

Under a New Roof.

The Appeal is now being published
'in,ivc a new roof. The old Raj. cor

property and has been modelled to a.

Cf the Office. This is the first NOV.
the paper has made in nearly forty
years and the move is to the thinking

the new Office certainly furnishes the
desired space The office devil has been
given a gentle hint that it would be
necessary to remove a part OF the &C
cunlulated exchanges and otherwise
keep the new place in a pretense Of
order.
The old Appeal building has been a
place Of considerable activity the past
forty years and in spite OF the many
changes in the financial condition. OF
this section the paper has managed to
exist. Some enemies have been made
by the various parties at the helm and
many friends have remained with the
paper. TO both friend and enemy w,
are duly thankful
Some OF the old timers state that the

| Ell ventured to remark that the State
! Treasury was conducted where the
big press now stands He further re-
marked that one hundred thousand
dollar deficiency also occurred in the
same place, and that bondsmen had to
have a law passed to relieve them from
the responsibility. However this may
be, the treasury OF the Appeal is ex-
hausted and there seems no relief bill
in sight.
The Appeal at present is not deal
ing with ancient history; it is the pres
ent that we wish to impress on the pub
lie. The Appeal we sincerely hope
will not move again in another forty
years, but in the meantime we wish tc
inform the public that we are ready fo1

Chance i09 III: Congressman.
ID eip Nevada.

Congre ssman Newlands has been
great deal more than commonly inter-
ested in the practice of forestry, and
has kept the newspapers supplied with
printed matter from that division OF
the government for several years past
The pamphlets received have been of
more than passing interest, and several
OF the papers have become believers in
the matter The trouble has been that
no representative Of this important
branch OF the government has ever as
sequence is that little OF the practical
workings is known
Nevada needs a forestry representa-
tive in the State as much as she needs
revenue collector. The way that the
forests have been depleted is the cr
terion that tells the story. There is
| not section in the State that is not de
nuded, and the plan OF planting tree
where one is cut has never entered the
head of any woodchopper that ever
swung an axe. The big corporations
have simply cut everything in sight and
when the ground was cleared they left
the useless land to revert to the gov

one section in the State that is being

With the appointment of a timber ag

growing would have chance TO de
