The coming of the big plant heralds the "rebirth" of eastern Oregon as an important agricultural and industrial section. Due to the new plant, farmers are settling on 150,000 acres of reclaimed sage brush lands, irrigated by the Owyhee, Bla^k Canyon and Arrowrock Dams in the Vale-Owyhee project. The new factory will bring $2,500,000 of wealth yearly to the section, and is "booming" this remote section of the state. The "monster of modern science" turns the beet into sparkling, refined and pure sugar and is the most modern plant of its kind in America. It will handle 2000 tons of beets daily and can store a half million 100-pound bags of sugar. It has a capacity to supply three- fourths of the sugar needs of Oregon's inhabitants.
