M aaeoad-elaat matUr I BEET SUGAR FACTORY; NEXT TO LINEN MILL Next to a linen mill,' Salem's-very best bet now is a beet sugar factory r.-.- I ' ? ; Because, like a linen mill, it will get its raw materials as an annual crop from the land, and it will employ labor all the way up from the land to the highest of the finished products; much of .the labor, at big wages; and it will make a reliable, substantial, enduring industry; and: ft .will with its by-products nd indirectly in other ways benefit every other industry on the land and help the growth "and permanent prosperity of our towns and cities. ' - 1 Sugar beets exhaust the soil less than any other major crop for they literally get their sucrose i(sugar) content from the winds and the rains j their carbon from the air and their hydrogen and oxygen from the water-! being made lip of those three chemical elements. : I i I Beet sugar making buildls up .the dairying and, other live stock industries as no other industry can both the tops and the pulp of the beets being excellent dairy feedi and feed for other live stock. There is bo! waste; as there is no waste in flax, not even the shives, ujftder late methods, j The project of securing a pet sugar factory in Salem has been too long delayed. A great tonnage of sugar; is used in Salem each year. Our canneries Mand fruit packing concerns alone use over 3,000,000 pounds of sugar j a year, and the amount is growing and will grow '''!. And'we are a great sugar consuming people. The United States consigned about five million long tons of beet and cane organized as a protest AGAINST some of the thin-s that bad been developed in urban 'communities. The old Populist party was such a protest, thftddevelopment during- the last fifteen years, however, has not-been one of protect. There has come into existence a constant driving force, attacking rural problems and attempting to find a solution. The major effort of rural organization during this period has; been con centrated upon a SOLUTION of rural problems, rather than PROTESTING against the activities of i urban centers." At the recent conference of representatives of some of the nation's industries and agriculture, neld in Cleveland the following resolution was unanimously passed : V- .' We record ourselves without reservations as approving the principle that in better understanding, to be brought about by frequent conference and frank statement, of our views, lies the most effective method of solving our problems and prompting general welfare." 1 In these efforts there is encouragement branches of industry represented. Each should be mindful of the other's difficulties and problems. And out of the better understanding resulting therefrom there I will come valuable cooperation. - ' Great progress has been made in cooperation between the merchants and farmers of the various communities '"of Oregon and of other states. That the success of ihe farmer means more business for the merchant, banker and urban enterprise generally is now an acknowledged; fact.! "And this cooperative effort is seen in livestock loans, th6 fostering of the boys and girls calf clubs, corn clubs and other farm activities by bankers and other city business men.) It is seen also at gatherings where both merchants and Tarmers-dis cuss in common parlance their relationships and shortcom tags as each sees them. Out of these cooperative pfforts and helpful attitude there will continue increased good for alL for both TinriGQ that niavEi: HAF?3ri AN INEXCUSABLE HABIT I FORT .3Vtt4 e.S . r-V - v o we NtvER Been i J& . , ?

They told a meeting of men represent ing the business and" property ; and banking interests here that they had been carrying-on experiments, arid that they had found that a large acreage; here was comparable in this respect with the best sugar beet lands of Germany; and that there is no better jn the world. I They stated that at the then prevailing prices of sugar, lower than thejr have been at any time since, the proposed factory would pay expenses and overhead, and pay back the cost of the factory itself above the charges named, EVERY, TWO YEARS - Ir -The chances for, a reliable and reasonably profitable manufacturing business in the making of beet, sugar here in Salem are greater now . than they were then; because there is a home market for the total output; of a sugar factory t in the fruit concerns herej and in the "larger population of the Salem district. ft '-.H j." I ;"'::":! :-- This matter ought by all means to be followed up vigor ously. There should be a beet sugar factory in Salem, and it should be owned cooperatively or at least controlled, by our fruit growing and manufacturing interests and our home people generally It would pay good dividends in two ways; in the profits of manufacturing, and in the indirect profits from the cultivation of 'the land with a crop that is a good rotation crop, the employment of a large number of extra laborers' in both country anc qty. and in a wonderful growth of cur dairying ancl live stock industries - 1 ; ; Salem ought 'also to have a sorghum mill and a syrup fac tory; The growing of sweet sorghum is 'feasible on certain of our warm soils. Also, wej should have broom factories, and we can and should raise pur broom corn,1 which is a species cf5 sorghum. ' One phase of thrift is punctuality. But the tardiness is tremendous.

Montague Lord, one Of Ithe biggest sugar men in the Orient, whose operations are, in the Philippines and Hawaii, while in his old home in Salem on a visit in 1923, said that the bect sugar industry ought to be developed here in the Willam ette; valley; that it can be, and that, given stable; prices even lower than the average of the past few years, that it would be a very reliable business.

The driving force of advertising drives business in. .si much higher than those for sugar. though sugar runs high as com pared with; most articles made from annual crops on the land. ; - v . - The Bits for Breakfast man wants to repeat what he said a year ago. as follows: "If this copy of The Statesman should fall Into the right hands, it would bring Salem a beet sugar factory and if a duplicate should be, read by just the right man, we would get a sorghum mill and a syrup factory." The right men are somewhere In the United States, perhaps in Oregon; may be in Salem. Perhaps like the coun try boy on e the Dearborn, Mich., farm, who a few years ago plan ned in his little shop to make a steam farm . tractor to render plowing : and other work on the land easier and more .profitable and has; become the world's greatest. car manuiaciurer ua me . richest man nf all time, r He was Henry Ford, poor but ambitious; a oreamer oi oreams. ne sim owns the Michigan farm, and does all the work by machinery, and makes it pay a profit.

(I won't say as large.) Then there would be no necessity for the "ballyhoo" on Salem's streets In the name of 'sweet charity." j I don't under stand how "sweet" could be used in connection' with it, as it has been a bitter proposition for both the helpers and the helped. The other evening a high class entertainment was given. ' The net proceeds were to go to the Salem Associated Charities. . One citizen guaranteed the expenses and was stuck for about 1140.
