The congestion of bcets all up aud
down the valley, but more especially
at Olathe. where the larger portion
must be handled, is a striking object
lesson as to the absolute need of at
least one more sugar factory on the
western slope. The Grand Junction
factory is showed under and hun
dreds of thousands of tons are piled
in the open awaiting treatment. Ev
cry available space at the factory has
been utilized in an effort to handle
the produce. but the production so
far exceeds the capacity of the fac
tory that ii is utterly unable to meet
the requirements. There is only one
solution possible. Another factory
must be erected TO meet the demands
of the valley possibly two. With
plant in operation at Olathe the pres
lent congestion fould be avoided and
much of the unnecessary expense
eliminated.-Ola Criterion
