Lots OF Money Made IN Raising Beets In
Eebraskz
The state Of growth to which the
sugar beet industry has attained in
Nebraska is, perhaps. receiving its best
exemplifeation at the big factory at
LcaEitt, owned by the Standard Sugar
company Already $4,000 tons OF the
saccharine vegetables have been
worked this season and their suEary
content made into an excellent quality
Of the graduated article The factory
has had to suspend operations once
or twice owing to wet weather. but its
great capacity has made this record
possible Two hundred acres Of sugar
beets in the vicinity Of Leavitt and
Ans are still to harvest The factory
generally runs up TO the first Of the
year.
Profits Of sugar beet growers are
cafd to be larger in some instances
than ever before, while IN all cases the
crop has paid well. The Fremont
Sugar Beet company, a local syndicate,
had one hundred and fifty acres under
cultivation this season and a state
ment from the manager a short time
ago was that the profits would Justify
declaring a dividend Of not less than
25 per cent on the investments Indi-
viduals have not found their returns
quite so lucrative, because their fields
are smaller and have not been so sys-
tematically worked, but the revenue
from the crop is in all cases satisfac-
tory
One OF the things now interesting
beet growers and sugar men in the
vicinity OF Fremont is the reported in
ventiOn Of a Tecumseh man, H NJ
Heilig, for the pulling and topping OF
beets and loading them into a wagon
A letter received from Mr. Heilig says
that his machine works perfectly, and
an officer Of the Standard Sugar COM
pany viii go TO Tecumseh TO witness
its operation Such an invention
would undoubtedly lessen the cost OF
harvesting beets by from S. to IS per
acre
The Standard Cattle company, which
operates in conjunction with the sugar
corporation. is now selling on its 5000
acre ranch near Ames. Its officers be
lieve that better results can be secured
all around where individuals own the
| beet crop and sell it to the factory, and
their plan is to have the large tract
| split up into a great many smaller ones
