Sugar Factory
Will Complete
Campaign Today

The processing OF sugar beets
grown in this region to sugar and
livestock by-products will be COM
pleted Thursday, Jan. 10. The Sid
ney mill started processing of
beets October 4, 1856 and has run
or a continuous "a hour basis the
past one hundred days.
The sugar content of the beets
has been slightly under that of
last year, approximately % of
one percent, but the purity or
quality of the beets has been much
better than in past years. This
higher quality, some changes in
the mill, and improved techniQues
instigated by workers in the mill,
has enabled the plant to produce
a record slice. The average slice
per day during the '56-'57 cam
paign was approximately 400 tons
higher than any previous year.
The highest previous slice for any
"a hour period was 2,082 tons
sliced in the year 1948. This year
a new record of 2,467 tons
sliced in one "a hour operation.
The increased capacity of the
mill has enabled more sugar to be
~processed at Sidney than in past
years and, in addition, a larger
supply of livestock feed by-pro-
ducts has been produced in the
form of molasses dried beet pulp
and high molasses pulp which will
be available for feeders in this
region.
Livestock surveys made by Hol-
ly Sugar fieldmen show a marked
decrease in lambs being fed in
the valley this year, but an in
crease in other classes of live
stock. Survey figures show a to-
tai of 1929 lambs fattened - a
decrease of 37h percent as COM
pared to last year. Ewes being
wintered this year show a total
of 14,764 head - an increase Of
27M percent. Cattle being fattened
for market have increased Is per
cent to a total figure of 12,5O6
head. Dairy cattle numbers and
cattle being wintered in the val
ley show a decrease of 1012% as
compared to last year.
Due to the world sugar situation
the Department of Agriculture an
nounced an additional increase in
beet increase allotments for the
year 1857 this past week. The or
iginal 1857 allotments called for
a AZ percent increase in acreage
over the 1855 paintings. The state
of Montana was originally allow
ed 53,4O6 acres for sugar beet
planting. This was changed last
week to 56,123 acres, or an in
crease of 2,717 acres for the State.
The Sidney factory district -
Forsyth, Mont, to Buford, N. d.
= will receive approximately L.
664 acres more allotment for SUI
gar beet acreage this coming year.
This will be a 8 percent increase
in acreage for 1857.

Richland County
March of Dimes
Gets Good Start

Plans for the 1857 March of
Dimes campaign in Richland
county are off to an excellent
start, according to an announce
ment from Harry Johnson, county
chairman. Johnson stated that
numerous persons have agreed to
take charge of the different phas-
es of the drive, which will in
clude the usual activities which
have proved SO successful in past
years, plus a few new ones.
Sidney businessmen will be
solicited, and special gifts re-
quested. This part of the work
is directed by Kent Anderson.
Theatre programs, of short SUBJ
jeets, and advertising, will be
under the direction of Bob Suck
storff. Ed Erickson will have
charge of placing coin boxes in
business houses, and public
places. The Sidney Women's club
will be responsible for distribu-
ton of coin cards, and the Jay
ceens will take charge of the
program in the Sidney schools,
and also in rural schools. Ray
Whiting will have charge of the
sports program, which will in
clude events at the Sidney Bowl
ing Center, and probably some
type of sports event at the high
school. A radio program will be
directed by Ray Wright, of the
Ray and Records program over
KICK. In past years this has
taken the form of a request pro-
gram, with donations pledged in
exchange for requested records,
and has been one of the most
successful fund raising means of
the campaign. A Polio Crutch sale
will be conducted on the Sidney
streets by the VFW Auxiliary,
probably either January 10 or
81, depending on weather.
Johnson stated that donations
may be sent to the March Of
in care of Tom Sherlock,
who is acting as treasurer. In
Dick Bell has charge of
the campaign. Fairview represen-
tative is Keith Taylor, and in
Savage, Wallace Scott is directing
the drive.
q No quota has been set for Rich
County, but Johnson hopes
to equal or exceed last years
collection of over $4,000.
One new feature which is being
planned is some form of weight
guessing contest, with donors
guessing the weight of a beef,
exchange for donations, under
the direction of the Sidney Jay
,ees.

Eagles Defeat
Custer, Dawson;
Regain lst Place

The Sidney Eagles regained
undisputed possession of first
place in Class A competition last
week winning twice, from Miles
City and Glendive.
The Cowboys who two weeks
before had knocked the locals out
of first place 60-52 were stopped
55-46 on Friday night. Saturday
the Eagles put on their biggest
scoring splurge of the season as
they completely overwhelmed
Glendive 1912.
Sidney now has a 6-1 record
in league play followed by Custer
and Great Falls Central each with
three wins and one loss.
This week end the locals take
to the road for their longest trip
of the 22-game campaign. Friday
night they play second place
Great Falls Central and the Blue
Ponies of Havre Saturday. Havre,
defending league champions are
currently in eighth place having
won one and lost three.
The Central Mustangs are ex-
pected to give the Eagles a real
test especially on their home
court. They are a very aggressive
club and a year ago were real
trouble for Coach Kangas' five,
employing a zone press defense.
Plenty of speed and hustle by
the Mustangs has vercom their
lack of height in previous games.
They will average about the same
in height as Sidney.
Their one conference loss this
year was to Billings Central by
a o%ne-point margin. They hold
wins over Laurel, Hardin and
Lewistown.
Defensively, Sidney must stop
Jack Vukasin and Mick Reardon
if they're going to beat Central.
Vukasin, one of the more ag-
gressive players in the state has
been a thorn in the opposition's
side all year.
Havre is definitely down from
a year ago but are fast becom-
ing one of the most unpredictable
teams in the league. They have
lost to Hardin, Laurel and Lewis
town but have defeated Billings
Central on the latter's floor. Last
week end they won a non-confer-
ence victory over Double A
Great Falls.
The Blue Ponies are one of
the tallest squads among the ten
teams, their first seven players
averaging over six feet, two in
ches with Scott Sorensen the
tallest at 6'5".
The only returning regular from
last years smooth working five
is Bill Nutter. However, two
transfers, the Macdonald BROTH
ers, have helped the Hi-Line
club.
Sidney's squad left today. The
will be in top physical
shape with the possible excep-
ton of Jack Marion. Jacks ankle
sustained in the Glendive
game before Christmas still both
ars and it is doubtful if the high
scoring guard will see more than
limited action.
Coach Toby Kangas anticipates
his week ends action to be
.ough and has prepared his squad
'or a real test.
