Through the inability of the sugar
beet factories to take charge of the ship
ments as fast as the loaded cars arrive,
the beets are now being stored in high
piles at the receiving station as they
come in from the growers. There are
several immense piles on the depot
grounds here, amounting to 80 to Is car
loads, which will be covered and allowed
to remain until the factories are ready to
receive them. The grower, however, is
done with his part of the contract when
his beets are weighed in and delivered.
