Mr.. Black and Mr.. Baker were
guests of the commercial club al

plans entertained by themselves
and the eastern investors whom they
represent relative to the Fallon sug
ar factory. Among other state
ments Mr.. Black said:
Three prime factors enter into
the situation at this time: finance
management and acreage. These are
so interrelated that success cannot
attend should one go unfulfilled
The people whom | represent, and
myself, have provided for the first
two vital needs; now 1t is distinctly
up to the good people of your valle,
to provide the third prerequisite tC
success. In this movement the co
operation of farmers and business
men Is earnestly sought. The mat
has been considered entirely feas.
ible by the engineers who have Wis.
ited the factory and looked over the
valley. Their reports made over q
six-month period bear me out In
this statement. Naturally the own.
ers of the factory prefer to operate
the big plant here as against any
project looking TO the removal oi
the factory appurtenants for factory
dismantlement would be attended by
a considerable loss. On the Other
hand our Investigations here carry
conviction that the need of a bee
sugar factory in Fallon is actual
Indeed, as time passes the successful
operation of this unit will probably
bring competition and we are now
hnflAfno At.f. .Tlr In a.. n.
and management that will admit oil
contemporaries. Again empha
size the need of the earliest possible
recognition of the importance of the
third prime factor in the situation
namely, beet acreage. This car
only come from the good will ant
cooperation of the project farmers
We are not demanding a bonus; We
are demanding no concession o.
whatsoever nature; we are not ever
demanding your cooperation becauls,
we know we can not have earnes
cooperation from such premise
But we are asking in all earnest
ness that every local resident affili
ate himself with us in a friendly
understandable basis to the end tha
a working relation shall be estab
lished that will prove mutual,
profitable.
I'VE will be here until we hay,
all said YES" in the event of an af
firmative decision; or mo-" shoulC
events negate our present eonclu
sions. We are seeking friendl,
counsel and | must emphasize a
this juncture the need of frank ex
preston. This is vital to you jus
as IL is vital to us. We want M
Misunderstanding as we complet,
the groundwork of our enterprise
we want TO avoid misapprehensior
and possible recrimination as tn,
months come and go.
II want to make it plain tha
sugar beet growing and beet sugar
manufacturing are forms of actiyi
ties that travel exactly the same ave
nue. and that the representatives o.
each must be willing to grant thu
other fair measure of profit. w,
must work for your success just al
we expect you to work for our sue

During our visit here we will gt
further into the local situation anC

the vitalness of the human ele
ment." 1--WE get out of life exactl,
what we put into it," said Mr.. Bak
er. "If we put sunshine and har
mony into life these are what W,
get out of life; on the other hand 4
we put recrimination and disconten
into life these are exactly tn,
. things that issue to us and in tn,
measure that we contribute
