SUGAR
BEETS
V Bramwejl Says
Acreage will be Much
Greater that it was
Last Year.
Mr F S Braniwell ll"ld auperinten
dent of sugar factory in an interview
atatea that the prospaot at preaent
are flattering lor a large average and
a big orop.
Last year the total beet aoreage waa
1800 acrea, this year 2800 are now, aa
aurred and it ia hoped that thia will
be inoreaeed .
There ia do disguising the tact that
tbia year seals the fate of tbia factory.
In oaae tbe tonnage ia not increased
thta factory will be moved to some
other location. '
The farmers realist tbia and many
who have suitable landa are planting
beets.
Tbe company ia seeding 1800 acrea
tbia season and are certainly doing
their part to make a record that will
be satisfactory to the eastern stockholders.
Every farmer wbo ha beet land and
ia situated sufficiently near tbe factory
bonld plant at least a few aores thfa
yetr. All realize the benefits derived
from the laotory, those who do . not
would alter the factory was t amoved
then it would be to late. Tbia ia the
year to give a helping hand. Them
ia do question but there ia mouey in
aiaing beets under proper oond.tiona
and there are a hundred larnie of land
tbalia adapted to the groniogof beets
and the owners would net greater re
turns than can be realized from any
tber crop.
