Eight Million Bafts Jn'lft Years
The "completion of sithe "nine
teenth campaign gives gorge inter
esting totals in the operation of
the plant. During the; period of
19 years, 8,33,784 bagof sugar
have been mad. The factory has
used. 586,174 tjons, of ciial, nearly
all from Montana; 206,280 tons
of lime rock, 20.435 toils of coke
and ;i,9 93999 pounds i of sulphur.
There has also been produced
712,143 tons of pulp, enough to
fatten 101,735 cattle or 915,975
sheep, To fatten l be same amount
of ' stock would require 91,562
ton3 of hay which,' at 18 a ton.
would have cost $732,496.
In the 19 years, 17,280 men
were required to operate the mill.
These men, r with' their' families
would have made a city with a
population of 52,170, There, were;
also employed 31,000 laborers in I
the fields. If each of these labor
ers spent only $75 in Montana j
they left in the state $2,325,000.
Future Hoems Bright : i' '
In speaking of the year's cam
paign ;, W. P. Hogarty, general
manager, said: "The outlook for
the beet sugar Industry is the best
in years. Resulfs have again
shown ; that with', a beet Crop in
proper rotation a farmer on 160
acres can make more money than
when it Is left out of his plans.
Big Acreage Next Season ;
"The. acreage grown.. in 1925 in
Montana will be even greater than
in ine year past aue to the stimu
lative effect of the two other fac
tories contempfated on the Lower
Yellowstone and the Milk river
districts.
"In spite of the decline in sugar
markets, prospects are looking to
ward better prices later on. have
every, reason to believe that farm
ers win receive a very., satisfac
tory price when the final pay
ments, are. made. Future prices
are( looked upon by manufactur
ers as likely to be good for an in
definite period. ; - " ' ' 1 "
'"The season which . has closed
has been the largest and best in
our, history and to its success
farmers and laborers and the men
in .'every . department have con
contributed. Both harvest and
campaign were "brought tb a close
without delay or losses and in rec
ord time, considering that the total
output of sugar' gave an increase
of 36d,00O " bags over last year.
With the enlarged capacity of the
plant, new records were made in
speed and efficiency, and the local
factory has climbed to- first place
in sugar production."
