WISCONSIN BEET
SUGAR INDUSTRY
Farmers Received S2,OOO.OOO
from 1911 Beet Crop.
FOUR FACTORIES OPERATE
Over $50, 900 Tons Were Consumes
Last Season by Plants at James
Vile, Chippewa Falls, Madison ano
Menomonee Falls.

Madison. - Although Wisconsin
ranks fifth in the United States as
a producer of sugar, it raises great
deal less than is actually consumed
within it's borders. During the past
year SO,0O0,000 pounds were pro-
duced and, refined in the state while
the actual Wisconsin consumption
during the same time was 200,Ooo,-
600 pounds, which at five cents per
pound totals $10,000,000 or about
$4,000 a day.
The four factories in this state, To-
Gated at Menomonee Falls, Chippe-
wa Falls, GAINESVILLE and Madison,
each with slicing capacity OF 500
tons of beets per day, together with
the factory at Menominee, Mich,
which receives most of the beets from
this state, draw their supply from
$4,000 acres of land, which produce
twelve tons to the acre, or total
of 100000 tons of sugar beets.
Plans are under way for the build
ing of other plants in the state, and
Winnebago county will undoubtedly
secure the next factory to be erected.
One of the Wisconsin plants VIII
increase it's capacity from 800 to l.
600 tons this summer, according to
company officials. Farmers receive
from SIS to Sc per ton, according to
the sugar content of the beets, which
brings them annually 100000.
Aside from this about ESQ men find
employment in the factories. The
first of the factories already named
was built in 1901, at Menomonee
Falls, and the latest, that at Madi-
son was erected in 1907.
Until within recent years it has
been difficult for sugar men to Sc
cure farmers to raise beets, but now
they have learned the value of this
crop and are becoming more willing
to devote ground for this purpose.
One of the arguments in favor of
beet raising is the fact that the soil
exhaustion is less than with most
other crops, as shown by the state
experiment station bulletin. 1t is
found profitable, however, to rotate
the beet crop with others.

FEAR BIG MINE STRIKE.

impending Struggle in Great Britain
Takes on Aspect of Revolt.
London. Practically all OF the
miners unions throughout Great Brit
ain have sent formal notices to the
coal mine owners notifying them
that the men will quit work on March
1. Within twenty-four hours all of the
$4,000 men and boys employed under
ground will have notified the employ
ers of their intention to strike. In
addition to the underground employees
there are 100000 surface workers,
making total of more than a million
men who will quit work twelve days
hence.
1t is now admitted on all sides that
little hope remains of averting what
promises to be the most serious la
Dor disturbance in British history.
A coal owner calls it "a deliberat
attempt to force a social revolution"
