Show REBUILDING- AN INDUSTRY. Allyof the space on the two top floors, of the Eccles building is j yl (o tye occupied by the Amalgamated Sugar Company. The expan-P expan-P i -ion in office space demanded by-this sugar company comes from the k resolve of the management to extensively improve the plants, and I 1 room is being obtained for the engineers and otjicr experts who are coming in from Denver and other points to work out the en- largements in factories. The plant near Ogden is to be increased V lo a maximum of 1000 tons capacity a day and the other factories are to undergo similar improvements. I i This is getting ready for a day in the future When sugar prices ;' ! will drop back to the normal, when, to survive, the industry must be c most economically and efficiently conducted. f One of the best features of this stir in Amalgamated head- r , quarters is the decision to put on an intensive campaign of education edu-cation in training the farmers of this region in the necessity of keeping up the fertility of the soil. Where farming is scientifically scientifi-cally carried on, the maintaining of the elements of crop production produc-tion is as carefully pursued as is the planting, irrigating and cultivating of the crops. "Rotation is studied, soil dcficicnces are inquired into and nothing is left, to the haphazard of "luck.' A research bureau is to be established and such problems as the quality of time used in purifying the syrups are to be studied. This is a forward move promising well for an industry which has been of great value to Ogden. It will add population and wealth to this city. |
