was turned out by the Michigan sugar
factory at Bay City. As a result of the
first years experience, the managers de-
cided to double the capacity of their
factory, and eight other factories were
erected and equipped for the campaign
of 1899. There are this year Is facto-
refs in operation, two of which were
built for the campaign of 1904. In
three instances two factories have COM
bined for various reasons and two fac
tories have been removed to other parts
of the beet sugar area. the l8 factories
in operation this year are capable of
slicing 1880 tons of beets per day, and
from these beets should be obtained not
less than 400 tons of sugar. These
factories represent an invested capital
of not less than $l3,OOO,OOO in buildings
and machinery devoted exclusively to
the production of sugar from beets. The
factories in Michigan are, as a rule, we'll
distributed over the state, one being
located in the upper peninsula. There is
room in the state for several more fac
tories if they are wisely located and
properly inaugurated. Steps are being
taken to establish other factories in the
upper peninsula and in parts of the
lower peninsula where the train haul
is now too long for profit"

Far more terrible, but mercifully flr
