"Tho California beet crop," said Mr. Grant,, "Is looking very fine, tho largest bclngnow nbout the size of my wrist. The former proprietor of this plant was Mr. K. II, Djcr, who is tho head of the firm that is putting the machinery Into the Utah works, lie claims that tho machinery ma-chinery ordered (or the home works is altogether better, and that there is uo reason why the homo company cannot mako a better showing." "Are tho California (aimers satisfied with the result of the beet (arming?" "The facl that tho farmers have raised beets consecutively (or twenty years tells plainly enough that they aro pretty well satisfied with tho results, or tbey would quit and put in some other kind of crop. "To give you some idea of tho magni tuiie ot iho TJUh plant it Is but necessary neces-sary to say that wo hare 0,300 acres ol beets planted, all of which aro looking flno and should yield 20,000 tons of beefs, or enough to mako 000,000 pounds of sugar. It would rcquiro 1,600 standard gatigo cars of twenty tons each to removo this crop. "If somo eastern capitalist had como here to erect such n plant as wo aro now putting into operation, they would want (100,000 or (160,000 bonus. "A great many pcrsous are afraid they cannot raise tho beets and mako money at it. I am positive that If the farmers cannot do it, tho sugar company can, at a handsome profit, too." Jftr-ahl. |
