The (Jreat Western Sugar Company, the owner of thirteen sugar factories In Colorado, Montana and Nebraska, haB become interested in tho Lincoln -county beet growing district;, 1111 contract for beets this season, has located a Hold agent at Hershey nnd with tho possible view of orecting a factory at some future time has takon option on Ave different tracts of land near tho village of Hershey. Those developments took form Sal-, urdny at a very enthusiastic and large ly attended meeting of beet growers at Hershey, at -which several North Platte business men woro in attend ance. This meeting was hold through tho efforts of tho Platto Valley Beet Growers' Association, n organiza tion though but recently formed has ehown commendable energy In its move toward securing tho location of a sugar factory. . Tho Tribune which for fifteen years has united with others in working for a factory con siders that tho prospects for securing ono for the valley is now ten-fold -greater than at any previous time, and if the farmers of tho beet growing sec tion becomo sufficiently interested in beet culture as to Insure the required acreage there is absolutely no ques tion but that a factory will bo erected in the Hershey district in 1919. Dut whether this factory is built depends upon tho farmers. It is absolutely up to them to furnish tho acreage but if the enthusiasm at tho Saturday meet ing permeates the entire district, that acreage twill be forthcoming. Present at the Hershey meeting woro Manager Denman, of the Grand Island factory, to which the Lincoln county beets for a dozen or more years have been shipped, and Manager Simmons of Scotts Bluff, who has su pervision of tho factories at Goring and Scotts Bluff and will also bo in charge of the one to bo erected at Bayard this year. Manager Denman was first called upon and briefly stat ed that tho output of the Lincoln county territory was greatejr jthan tho Grand Island factory could take care of In conjunction with tho terri tory east of North Platte, and that he had no objection to, in fact advised, a division of tho Lincoln county beet territory. He sugegsted that tho ter-; ritory bo divided on a north and south lino two miles west of Hershey; that all beets grown east of that line be Bhipped to Grand Island, and all grown west to Scotts Bluff. Manager Simmons then addressed tho meeting at some length and ans WTed many questions asked.
