Contributing Area

During the past week the Coop
which has taken over the Fallon
plant, has been busy in the local field
looking er the situation and other
wise preparing an active campaign
for the coming season of beet acre
age.
The office has been established
at the corner of Maine street and
Center. where literature, general ad-
wise and office work is now estab-
lished.
A number of solicitors for acreage
are busy over the valley and con-
siderable acreage has been signed up
mainly on the cooperative stack and
raising plan. Independent growers.
while 1t is shown will not receive as
high a value for their crop, will be
taken care OF and such acreage is
wanted, as 1t is matter OF beeta.
Five Thousand Acres
The management figures that this
section should be able to furnish
5000 acres of beets for next Seasons
run. From the first weeks business
IL seems likely that the acreage will
be secured without much difficulty.
and more can be taken care of If
necessary.
Tuesday of this week several field
agents left for the Lovelock valley,
where an effort will be made to Sc
cure both subscriptions to stock and
agreements to raise beets. A very
low rate ON beets to this city from
Loyelock has been promised by the
Southern Pacific. In fact, Mr.. Fulton
on a recent visit to this section stat
ed that the rail people would go as
far as they could to foster and assist
In any industry that car be estab-
lished in this section or any other
section of Nevada.
Mason Valley Good Field
Mr.. Wilson and others who are
here are satisfied that Mason valley
offers an excellent field FOR beet cul
ture and that the rail conditions are
such that beets can be landed at the
factory at good profit TO the farm
ers who enter a contract with the
firm. A couple of the field men will
be in Mason and Smith valleys this
week, they leaving Wednesday for
this purpose. Experiments in beets
In Mason valley have given the same
high sugar contents that have been
found here.
Lassen County Interested
The following letter was received
by the Cooperative Sugar Factories.
Inc, from M. D. Collins, county agent
of Lassen county, Susanville, Calf.
II have been reading with much
interest the progress made by your
company toward the operation of tho
beet sugar factory. (at Fallon) this
season.
Several years ago, several farm
ers In this valley raised beets for the
factory and ! believe there will be
others interested again next year In
case you are going to operate +
would be glad to have the plan work
ed out so as to bring something def
mite before this farm center at that
time.
Thanking you in advance for the
above information, am
yours very truly,
Signed: NJ. d. COLLINS. y
Mr.. Wilson, vice president, says
that an active campaign will be in
augurated so that large acreage may
be secured, the beets being shipped
to Fallon as the Southern Pacific has
giyen assurances of very low rates.
This will give the Honey Lake
farmers an outlet and a cash mar
ket for a very profitable crop.
