' The requlrod acreage nood not nec essarily be all secured In Lincoln county, as factories do not object to paying frolght on a cortnln percentage of the beets shipped within a radius of fifty miles of the factory. It seems to us that tho proper thing to do is to invito farmors and business men In tho a odd on betwoon tho 'oast and wost linos of Mie county to at tend a meeting in this city and discuss tho factory proposition. It is only by concortod action that tho required acreage can bo secured. As to the possible sito of a fad.'ory, that Is an after consideration, and'one that will bo dotermlnod by tho builders. Tho factory Is needed by the county, not by some particular town or lo cality.
