HUGE SUGAR BEET
PLANT IS PLANNED
FOR NEBRASKA
Annual Convention of Farmers
in Omaha Discusses Erection
of $2,000,000 Factory.
The construction and operation of
a $2,000,000 sugar beet factory on
the co-operative plan was the prin
cipal subject for discussion at the
afternoon meeting of the seventh
annual Nebraska Farmers' Co-oper
ative and hducational union, which
opened yesterday in the auditorium
of the Masonic temple.
More than 700 delegates were
present, including a delegation of 35
sugar beet growers from Minatare,
Neb., the proposed, site of the sugar
beet factory. The meeting opened
yesterday with an address of wel
come by Mayor Smith and a re
sponse by E. L. Shoemaker of Un
ion, Neb. C. H. Gustafson, presi
dent of the union, presided.
Some opposition to the proposed
erection of the sugar beet factory
developed during the afternoon ses
sion, but a majority of the 'delegates
favored the plan.
Delegates from Minatare,, speak
ing in favor of the construction of
a beet factory, declared that beet
raisers are receiving only $100 an
acre for a crop of beets, figuring 10
tons to the acre, and that the cost
of raising an acre of beets is $92.
This leaves a profit of only $8 an
acre, delegates declared.
By constructing a co-operative
factory farmers will grow their
own beets and manufacture their'
own sugar, thus eliminating the
profit of sugar companies and fur
nishing the public with cheaper
sugar. '
An election of officers will be on
the program this morning. Ko
definite program is scheduled for
the remainder of the convention.
