FALLON SUGAR PLANT
SOLD TO WINCFIELD
FARMERS URGED TO PLAMTiBEETS
AN0 MAKE the COMING YEAR
A HUMMER IN SUGAR

The best piece of news that has
reached Fallon in long time is as
sured from those in a position to know
that the affairs of the Nevada Sugar
company have been adjusted to the
point where it is practically certain
that Churchill county's benefactor,
George Wingfeld, with the assistance
OF practical sugar people irom Cali
fcrnia, will soon assume control OF
the Fallon sugar factory and properly
finance the 1916 campaign. However,
Mr. Wingheld is man of few words
and this is what he g@ve out on the
subject:
Il have been in San Francisco for
several days negotiating with San
Francisco sugar people 10 take over
the Nevada Sugar Plant at Fallon
and it is possible we will take the plant
over within the next few weeks"
While it cannot be stated positively
that the active management of the
Sugar company, nor the running of
the factory will be in the hands of
practical sugar people represented by
California sugar company, as the
final outcome is to be the result Of
personal investigation by their rep
resentatives OF the plant and of the
land in this vicinity, as to its adapt
ability for sugar beet raising, yet it
is safe to say that at the present mo-
ment it is up to the farmers OF the
vicinity OF Fallon as to whether the
plant will run next season. The sugar
people are expected here within few
days to make the examination and
10 talk with the farmers. Also, il is
proposed in the near future to hold a
public meeting in the city of Fallon,
to which all of the farmers will be in
vited, and at which meeting. if it is
possible, Mr. Wingheld, and repre-
sentatives of the sugar company will
be present II, at that time assurances
can be given by the people who live
in this vicinity that they will raise a
sufficient acreage of beets in 1910 to
enable the factory TO make profitable
run. the troubles of the Nevada Sugar
Company will be over. and Fallon will
be in a way to become the most pros
porous community in the State of Ne
vada.
For several weeks Judge n. l..
French and W. E. Oxtoby, the latter
representing the eastern bond holders,
have been working diligently to clear
up every detail IN connection with the
affairs of the Nevada Sugar Company
and put the enterprise on basis
where il could be handled by new
company.
The news that the factory will run
has been received with icio icing bv
the people of this community. Our
BUSINESS people are IL high spirits ovei
the news, and the farmers who are
in a position to grow boets see not
only the possibility but the certainty
OF market for their product. 1t
spells prosperity, not only for Church
i'll county, but also for many adjacent
agricultural districts where sugar
beets can be grown. The farmers have
been anxiously awaiting this good
news. This season they have been
fortunate in securing { good Price for
their hay, due to Il st.rcity elsewhere,
but for several years hay has been .
drug IN the market There 's no rs
surancc but what it would be anoih'a
year, bdt with large areas cultivated
to suga- beets the market VIII DC
r.ca,y +, :ieved and a greater demand
created
The operation of the factory will be
greatly benefit every line of industry
and make this one of the foremos;
communities of the State.
This, however, can only be brought
about through the hearty co operation
of the entire community, We must
raise the beets. We must put fortl
every effort that will contribute to the
success of the enterprise. 1t goes
without saying that the Fallon Elec
trio railroad must be completed IN or
der TO furnish the required transpor
tation for beets. This is, in fact, prac
tically assured With the factory run
ming there is no question but wha
the Stillwter branch of the road vii
also be built sooner or later.
AS soon as the legal sale of the fac
tory property is made on January
the new owners will no doubt sc
about putting things in order at tn
factory, and men will be in the fel
TO secure the required acreage.-Fal
