The new Cupar factory at pres
ent can' deal with 500 tons of
beet daily provision has been
made for increasing the capacity
when need arises and the im
mediate problem is that of the
supply of raw material. As Lord
Weir, chairman of directors,
pawkily observed on Saturday, a
beet factory without beet is about
a useful as an empty whisky flask.
That the farmers are alive to
this new sphere for their activities
in demonstrated by the fact that
since November 8 the Cupar fac
tory ha.-i produced 1500 tons of
sugar. To keep the factory going,
however, next year fiOOO aeren of
be-t are required, and Lord Weir
and his fellow directors are opti
mistic that Scottish farmers will
ripe to the occasion, as they usu
ally do, when they see a real open
ing for their products.
N'o Handling
A conducted tour round the
plant at Cupar proved most Inter
esting. In construction and meth
ods of working the most modern
and up to date ideas have been
adopted. Beets by the wagon load
are floated in by warm water at
one end of the factory, and come
out bags of fine granulated sugar,
neatly corded and weighed, at the
ether.
At no stape is the raw product
touched by human hands, and act
ing on the old adage. "Waste not.
want not," all by-products are util
ized in some form or other. The
beet pulp, after the sugar is ex
tracted, is sold to the farmers for
cattle feeding purposes.
The formal opening was per
formed by Lady Gilmour, wife of
the secretary of state for Scotland,
and in the course of a brief speech,
Sir John Gilmour said that he
thought the enterprise which Lord
Weir and his colleagues had
shown in risking capital in an en
terprise of that size and magni
tude called for confidence and sup
port upon the part of the produc
ers of the raw material. (Ap
