Sugar Factory
Is Running On
Slowest Speed

The sugar factory is running un-
der half steam this week on account
of the inclement weather delaying
the digging of beets The beets are
sloced at the rate of $40 tons a day
hiwle the capacity of the factory is
500 tons daily The slow pace is
necessary as very few beets are on
hand and the machinery once start
ed must be kept in motion, to pre-
vent freezing" as it is called. That
is, when once the syrups and sugar
are being formed, any long stoppage
in the process occasions loss as it
would require a cleanup before
starting again.
1t is hoped that the digging of
beets can be continued the latter
part of the eek as present conditions
make it almost impossible.
