hundred pounds. The orernead ex
penses would be additional. The
wholesale price of starch Is now ap
proximately 11 centB per pound. The
factory would receive this amount,
less the Jobber's profit and the
freight. Mr. Howard stated that a
plant in Box Butte county, ni pres
ent prices, would pay for itself in
one year.
A aill to make potato flour wojhl
cost approtmaU;y twice fu 'fl as
a starch mill. Potato flour brings in
Alliance not less than 17 cents per
pound. One of the largest potato
flour mills in the west is located at
Idaho Falls, Idaho.
A plant for Box Butte county
would employ from ten to twelve men
In the day time and two at night, it
would prove to be a paying industry
from all angles for Box Butte and
adioining counties. Chadron and
Gordon are considering the installing
of factories.
At the meeting at the Alliance ho
tel the following motion was adopt
ed: "Resolved. That we, the busi
ness men of Alliance, realize the need
of a potato starch factory In Box
Butte county, and that we favor the
erection of a plant, providing the co
operation of the growers or the coun
ty can be secured."
