“You realize, of course, that acreage is the essential
thing for the factory. A sugar factory without acreage
of sugar beets is like a sawmill without logs. The one
thing here that they are doing most and urging most is
for farmers to increase their beet acreage, rather than be
content with last year’s crop.
“In 1914 the acreage there was 43,000. This year it is
60,(XX), an increase of 17,000, or 40 percent. This increase
alone will supply three new factories—and they are build
ing them.”
Reports from the various committees in the field evince
no slackening in the pace set to secure the acreage needed
to assure the erection of a $600,000 sugar factory in the
Rogue River Valley. There is a real feeling of certainty
that success will reward these efforts.
The Central Point Herald, backed by live business men
of that city, is issuing a daily edition devoted to the pro
motion of the sugar beet acreage campaign.
