GLENDALE FACTORY
 OPERATING PERFECTLY TWELVE HUNDRED BAGS OF st. GAR WERE MADE YESTERDAY. The Quality as Good as Anybody's Product, Whether Made from
 Cane or Beets.

F P Dayie was spotted last evening about five o'clock leaning against a brick wall near his office. looking at nobody in particular and smiling to beat the band Asked what it was all about, Mir. Davie said he had just come in from the sugar factory at Glendale. and he felt so good he didn't know just what to do to relieve his enthu- siasm. and he'd have to do something or bust" for he never felt SD good in his life before. The reportOrial tap was applied and Mir. DaVie was saved.
 He said they had scarcely got start ed yet out at the factory, though they made 1900 bags of sugar in Yester- days run, valued at S7,200 which amount is more than the Eastern Su gar company made during its entire campaign. That, however. was not the occasion of his ineXpressible joy. for he had expected that right along. He had the beets and the machinery and the men who know how to make the sugar, and 1,2G0 bags a day is only a starter. By Monday,h he expects the factory to be siicing up GOO tons of beets per day instead of 400 tons. tine amount run yesterday.
 The particular reason for satisfac- tion. said Mir Dayie is the fine qual- ity of the sugar made. and anybody who doubts it should call on- the local merchants and ask to see it. Mir. Da- vie is willing to put it mp for compari- son with anybody's sugar. whether made of beets or cane. There is a well established prejudice in the minds of many people against beet sugar. and Mir Davie was asked to explain the reason for it and state wether it is well founded or not His reply was that bad beet sugar is bad and bad cane sugar is bad. and for some years there was more bad beet sugar than bad cane sugar placed on the market for the reason that beet sugar men had to learn their business. the same as other people. and they started in the game good deal later than the cane sugar manufacturers. But today, says Mir Davie. the improved processes when they are employed, turn out just as fine a quality of sugar from beets as anybody can make from cane. The chemists cannot tell the difference. And the product of the Glendale factory he says is just as good as anybody's sugar. The grade of the sugar being made pleases him just as much as the fact that the machinery is running smoothly and the beet product is satisfactory.
 Getting back to beets he said the products on some of the ranches is simply incomparabe. Charles Camp bell, who also has patch of beets on the now famous section T yesterday harvested 9 tons to the acre. The factory pays s4.75 per ton flat to all growers and also pays the freight charge from any point in the valley. That will make Mir. Campbell's gross return $11S.75 per acre or probably d net profit of $75 per acre, approXi- mately, or a good deal more than the land could have been sold for few years ago.
 There is only one more hill to climb now says Mir. Davie, and that is to see if the home people will eat home made sugar. He feels that he ought to be given the support of the Ari- Zona market in the sugar business selling as good a quality of sugar as anybody can make at as cheap a price The surplus he will have to send t the eastern market, SD he feels that | all other things being equal, Arizona | should let him cater to its sweet ! tooth.
