which with buildings etc will re reach sell close to aw we ve will N work ilaya days each beacon ason night and dy or 2400 L houra a year and turn out tons of sugar from tons of beets we would draw the supply from the country within a radios radius of ten en miles our expense in labor and material will bo be abut a year we a will use tons of coal as Rs oce one item we need from twenty cite rive ti to thirty acres acre e of well drained land for the factory proper water at the rate of gallons per day 2003 acres acre of farming tar mint land with water for in arri is i gallon gation these we must have to make it a sac Boc ess cess we have been offered liberal inducements duce du to ests establish blish it in cache valiz valley but we are afraid that we would want 0 lose o se a week or ten days in the season en entail talling ins a loss in swe sweatiness atness of one per cent which means an item of 23 a year we think that there are re farmers here who will supply about two thirds I 1 of oar raw mate material that is all we expect from them we will produce the best sugar made from beets A t factors ia is a large investment the gross receipts will bo be about 43 50 the proofs profits depend on the continuous run the profile of the lait last twenty days will be far greater than the first ei paty days dayss co so you seethe aea the necessity of a continuous run were we a only to run half hall of the time we would barely be able to pay expenses this makes it necessary to have a farm of 2000 acres so as not to ba altogether dependent on the farming comil chai inanity unity I 1 11 amny things aro are necessary in locating a suitable gui table site facilities land water climate all must be found ia in one place to make a fact factory or y ae a eucce access ag lu

riven given the tile floor he ile said 1 I have given the matter of manufacturing eunar sugar a great deal of thought my investigations in california while lo 10 on a committee to look into this matter convinced me that we lad bed all the tile facilities hero here that they had there and probably a ame what better the beat of the climate on the coast made it very difficult to ve the beets after matured mattir a d that won would id not bo be the trouble here as frost float can more easily he contended with than the heat I 1 think thoy hav e made the manufacturing of sugar from rom beeta beets a success as and ind the retora e with energy and vim vim utah can do th the e earne same thing there they claimed the nece necessity 3 sity of having baying a farm in connection with the mill BO so that there should bs be no declay for it would cost as much to close down and again open a sugar factory as to lose close a smelter aelter ei it is my opinion that we havo have ft 96 batter climate hero bare for sugar than oven even I 1 ll 11 q dorado I 1 would not think it as wise i to establish a beet factory without a farm of 1503 1500 to 2000 acres connected a with the mill in la cache valley we would have to contend with will the freight of coal and other material which is a great item to us mr stayner elated that mr armstrong had bad shown his life faith ia in the enterprise ter prise by subscribing flo of the tile stock to inquiries ho he stated that the opinion that sugar could not be made here bad ball prevailed for the past thirty years owing to a failure of an
