ONE MORE FACTORY.
Garden City Hustling for Another
Sugar Beet Plant.

Garden City. Feb ia Campaign. has
been launched to get another sugar fac
tory at Garden City. w. NJ. Bell, in max
ing the report of the committee on agri-
culture to the Industrial club, referred to
the fact that the sugar cOmDany's prob
lem is not to get beets enough, but to
take care of the beets which threaten to
swamp the present factory.
I'VE ought to get to work and get an
other factory here in addition to the one
which may be built west of u.s., said Mr..
Bell, and this idea was seconded by 9TH
ers. Mayor Miller has offered five acres
Of his farm north of town a free fac
tory site. The Industrial clubs commit
tee on manufacture and agriculture will
probably take this question up co-opera-
lively.
The beet growing acreage Immediately
contiguous to Garden City will easily
support five factories located at this town
The beet sugar area of what might be
termed the Garden City district contains
100000 acres of fine beet land and is
unique in being the largest area of this
kind which so favorably combines the fea-
lures necessary for successful beet grow
ing with adequate transportation facili-
ties and nearneSS to market.
