Holly Sugar Corporation Here Switches
To lon Exchange as Campaign Nears
Close; Predict CLEANUP by Christmas
Second Plant in Notion
To Use New
Beet Sugar Process

The Holly Sugar corporations
Hardin plant today switched to
the ion exchange process of ex-
tracing sugar, becoming the
second sugar factory in the ma
ton to use this revolutionary
procedure, plant officials an
nounced.
The new ionization plant has
been under construction for
several months. It was hoped
that the process could be used
for the entire campaign here,
but shortages of materials and
labor slowed the builders. The
new process is said to be more
efficient and to extract a high
er grade syrup.
The factory, meanwhile, has
been operating at the best cap"
acity ever obtained here. Cam
paign will be over in about four
weeks, if present plans mater
ialize. If no special difficulties
are encountered, officials said
the plant would probably stop
slicing on Dec. 20, with the
cleanup completed by Christ
mas.
Sugar content is 1925 per
cent, somewhat higher than it
was lost year, but slightly be-
low the factory's average. It
was estimated that beets are
averaging about 10 and a half
tons per acre.
To date only 100 acres of
beets are left in the ground.
These are in the st. Xavier
area. It was pointed out that
a week or so of warm dry
weather would permit the har-
vest of even these beets. How
ever officials felt that the
nearly complete Hharvest was
very satisfactory and pointed
out that for the most part the
labor situation was better than
once anticipated and that fav-
orable weather this fall aided
the mechanical harvesters.

Senate District Unit
Session Called Today
On Fiscal Program

The Districts big deficit
breaking new revenue program
for the year beginning July 1,
today may be sent to the Senate
calendar for action.
Chairman Buck of the Senate Dis
trict Committee scheduled an extra
ordinary meeting of his full COM
mittee for 2 pm. today to act on
the House passed bill and recon-
mendations to be submitted before
then by the Senate Fiscal Subcom-
mittee.
No major changes from the House
bill were in prospect, but it seemed
likely some Qualification of the
House action on the income tax sec
ton of the omnibus bill would be
recommended.
Conference Next Step.
If this carries, approval by the
Senate would send the bill to a
House Senate conference to iron out
differences.
Senator Cain. Republican OF
Washington, head of the Senate
District Subcommittee in charge OF
the revenue program, instilled new
life into the program within q few
hours after his return to Washing
ton from an out-of-town trip.
He said Chairman Buck of the
full Senate District Committee had
promised every effort would be made
to get quick action, especially in
view of the few days remaining
before the end Of this fiscal year
The Cain subcommittee of the
Senate group, already has given in
formal approval to the income tax
plan developed by committee con-
sultants as q result of weeks OF
public hearings. This, however, was
before the House had acted, making
important changes with the adop-
ton of the amendment to exempt
Federal Government workers who
swear to statements they are legal
residents of one of the States.
Apparently out of consideration
on the Senate side are earlier pro-
posals for adoption of a 2 per cent
general sales tax as substitute for
the amendment to the income tax
Senator Cain declined to outline
his final views, prior to the meeting
of the full committee. He said he
wanted first to discuss the issues
with his subcommittee.
