GOVERNMENT REPORT COVERING
THE INDUSTRY.
STARTED AT GRAND ISLAND
The Next Factory Was Built In Norfolk -
folk Government Expert Says It
Was Not Removed to Lamar Because
of Adverse Conditions ,
The United States Department of
Agriculture has recently Issued a re
port entitled "Progress of the Beet
Sugar Industry in the United States , "
In which Is the following article cov
ering the sugar Industry in Nebraska
and the attempt to operate a sugar
factory In Norfolk. The article was
written by Charles F. Saylor , special
agent of the department. The report
was prepared before it was known
that the sugar Industry as carried on
at Ames was also a failure. The ar
ticle appears below :
The state of Nebraska was the second
end to produce sugar from beets. Six
teen years ago the first factory was
Installed at Grand Island with a capttc-
ity of 350 tons. This was followed by
one at Norfolk , in 1891 , with a capac
ity of 350 tons , and in 1899 by still
another at Leavltt of 500 tons daily
capacity. These factories were all lo
cated in the eastern half of the state.
During the period of their operation a
part of the time has been marked by
excessive drought , another by exces
sive rainfall , and still another by dis
eases affecting the beet crop. Under
normal conditions sugar production in
that section of the state has always
proven quite satisfactory.
The factory at Norfolk was recentlj
removed ot Lamar , Colo. , and there
enlarged and Improved. The opinion
is quite generally current that the
plant was removed from Norfolk or
account of adverse conditions. An in
vestlgatlon of the facts demonstrate (
this to bo an error. Taking the fac
tory's record from beginning to end
it was quite satisfactory , both to the
management and to the farming dis
tricts generally. But the owners o
the plant possessed a largo tract eland
land along the Arkansas river in Col
orado. They had planned to establisl
a series of factories in this Colorado
district to develop its resources. Un
der their policy it was preferable to
remove the plant from Norfolk am
place it in commission at Lamar. No
doubt under the circumstances it is
serving the purpose of its owners in
its present location much more satis
faclorily than if it had remained a
Norfolk. The farmers around Norfoll
who formerly grew beets for tha
plant continued to produce nearly a
much as before , these beets being
shipped by rail to the factory at Leav
itt.
itt.It
It does not appear , , therefore , as 1
'
conditions adverse to' beet productloi
caused the plant to be removet
There has been considerable local dis
cusslon around Norfolk regarding th
establishment of a new sugar factorj
at that point I look upon it as a rea
opportunity. A large part of the wor
of educating the farmers has been ac
complished. With the removal of th
former plant a demonstration has been
made to the beet growers of their loss
A factory there now would receiv
sympathy and support from the farm
ers and others.
One of the lessons taught by Ne
braska's experience in sugar produc
tlon is the value of the refuse pro
ducts of the factory for feeding pur
poses. Around all these factories ar
Jed large flocks of sheep and herds o
cattle. The experience of these fac
tories will eventually be that of other
In the United States. During the firs
few campaigns very little of the pul
was fed , but it grew gradually int
favor , and now it may be said that it
use is quite common and the pulp I
generally sought after.
The plant at Leavitt Increased Iti
dally capacity for working beets from
500 to 1,100 tons. This Improvemen
was equal to building another larg
plant In the state this year. Nearl
nil plaftts > bf'ordinary capacity llketh
one at Leavltt are constructed in sue
a way that doubling the capacity slm
ply means the Introduction of macbln
cry sufficient for that purpose ,
large increase in the production o
sugar from year to year In this coui
try is brought about In this way. Sue
'
growth is not so apparent to the public
but is effective in building up the beet
sugar Industry.
Throughout the growing period con-
considerable difficulty was met In pro
curing sufficient labor. The beet grow
ers of other states are aware of this
and are constantly calling upon Ne
braska beet growing districts for a
part of this labor supply. This tends
to absorb a largo portion of it. Fur
ther extension of the sugar Industry |
seems more likely to occur in the west
ern part of the state , where Irrigation
is more or less developed.
State Federation.
The twelfth annual meeting of the
Nebraska federation of women's clubs ,

Weeds are being mowed along the
sides of the streets and on vacant lots
under orders of the street commls
sloner. This Is a good thing and
should be continued until the unslght/
ly growth is removed from all part
of town. There is no reason why va
cant lots should remain an eye-sore be
cause owners are too indifferent o
too stingy to have them mowed. Ex
penses Incurred by reason of mowini
private property are charged up will
taxes , so it would be much cheaper in
the long run for owners to do th
work at the outset.
W. J. Brannigan of South Norfolk

well known resident of Alnsworth an
county commissioner of Brown coun

In which he tells of the rapid advance
ment of Los Angeles since the earth
quake. Mr. Sullivan says in part
"Los Angeles is doing well. Th
quake was an advantage to the tow :
for the reason that many of the indus
tries that were at San Francisco are
coming to Los Angeles , some of them
already being here. Ix > s Angeles is
advancing faster than any other city
In the United Slates and will continue
now. Since the destruction of San
Francisco Los Angeles will get such a
hold of commercial matters that she
will bo the great city of all Califor
nia. "
A serious wreck on the M. & O. was
very narrowly averted last night just
east of town , when an extra freight
came within an ace of striking the sec
tion boss' push cart loaded with old
ties. Not thinking that a train would
come In at that hour , some of the men
went out with the cart and gathered
up a load of old ties , which they In
tended to take home for firewood.
They were up the track a mile or
more when they heard the rumble of
an approaching train , and the way
they threw those tics right and left
was n marvel. Finally , seeing that
they wore not going to get out of the
way , ono of them ran back and flagged
the train , which was stopped only In
tlmo to miss striking the car. Nolgh
bors say that night pilgrimages after
old ties are quite a common occur
rence and that there are great piles of
them around the homes of the section
boss and his men.
