MORE lOAR THAN KVKR BEFORIg Factor? at Ames Making; Kew Record This Season. FREMONT, Neb., Oet. Zl.-(Spcla.)-The Standard Beet Sugar company, at Leavitt, wlUxaake more sugar this season than In any previous year, and on account of tha btgh tvst of th beets, at a (ess expenss than In previous years. It Is estimated thst 0,000 tons will go through before tha season snds, snd 6,(00 tons of sugar manu factured. The beets are testing an aver age cf IS per cent and from eight and one half to flint ton" to tha acre. The com pany pays a flat price this year, $4.75 and ffi.SS, th latter for ailoed beets. All the beets raised around here are delivered di rect to the factory, but soma from tha western country will be siloed and deliv ered In December. Last night 288 tons were run through the factory, which Is above tbs average, wh'ch is about 600 tons for each twentyrfour houra. This average cannot be maintained, as tbs factory has to par tially shut down for a "clean-up" once In ten days. Tbs company has succeeded In saving a higher percentage of sugar this season, the estimated amount being better than last yaar, which was K1H pounds of granulated sugar per ton. - The first season It was only m. , This year it will probably reach 9tf. and as the expenss of operation will be less j on account ot tha h'Bh percentage of sugar, the net profit per ton will be much larger than in toy previous sessoa. Tha amount paid out for beets will be not far from IM.V. It la thought that tha factory will finish Its run shortly after New Year's, depending on th number of frosen beets it will have to handle.
