Sugar Factory
Is Busy Place
iahontan Sugar Company Is Build
Ing for the Future In Its
Fallon Enterprise

The Fallon sugar factory Is a busy
place and a considerable force of
mechanics is at work placing things
IN condition for the manufacturing
campaign which will start on Oct.
18th. The big complement of ma
ehinery has been overhauled and a
force of men is now at work erecting
concrete piers upon which railroad
track will be placed This track is
to be raised two additional feet to
serve the beet bins which are also
being remodeled to accommodate an
increased tonnage expected from out
side districts.
Word from the western Nevada
farms where beets are being grown
Tor the Lahontan Sugar Company
asserts that improved conditions are
being noted everywhere and in in
stances where partial crop failures
were imminent through one reason
or another, strong hopes are now
entertained for a normal output.
This improvement is noted more par
ticularly within this valley where
ideal growing weather and plenty of
irrigation water have combined to
work wonders in bringing out the
beet plant growth
New contracts will be offered to
Nevada and eastern California farm
ers early this fall and every effort is
to be made for a record production
next year, the Lahontan Valley Su-
gar Company officials planning to
make the Fallon factory a perman-
ent Fallon enterprise.
There will be no let up in the
work of organization until such time
as the Fallon factory viii command
the maximum of beet tonnage pos
sible within the territory which may
logically serve H.
Beet growing is an exact science
and there are certain things alto
gether necessary of performance by
the land owner II he is to get the |
maximum OF returns. He can largely
II not altogether. avert the bad eff |
feets of an unfayorable season by |
adopting combatiye methods which |
In the final analysis are nothing
more nor less than good farming. |
Those who expect to grow beets next |
year should enter very early in the |
land preparation task and prepare |
a seed bed entirely worthy OF thal
name, said Manager Fred Hinze yes
terday. With the ground In prime
and plenty of irrigation
and cultivation as aftermath there
is no pest known, thinks Mr. Hinze,
that will seriously affect the beet
crop output In this valley.
An improved tone In the sugar
markets is assured. according to
Facts About Sugar" through the
ectiyities of German interests which
have been extended to Uncle Sans
back door down In Cuba. Overtures |
have been made by the Germans for
one million tons of raw Cuban sugar |
which II Is proposed to carry to Ger
many, from where 1t will be resold to |
other European countries after the |
refining process has been completed |
The Germans are seeking a three
fold object. to give their working |
men employment, to keep their fac
tories busy through. season when |
blighted beet crops prevail over
the entire continent of Europe and |
to secure a legitimate profit as a Sc
quel 10 their investments and aetiY-
tiles
With shortages announced from |
every quarter of the globe where |
beet sugar production occurs 1t
seems entirely reasonable to assume
that sugar quotations will be sub
stantially higher within the next few |
months and that the output of the |
Fallon factory will move to market |
at a figure unanticipated up to a |
short time ago.
