Mrs. Jan Wilson’s room went
on a tour of the Amalgamated
Sugar Factory, Friday, January
28.
We saw where the beets
were unloaded from the trains
and washed. We tasted sugar
beet costec, powdered sugar,
white and brown sugar. We also
got to see a computer that told
if the machines had stopped
working.
Men rode up an elevator with
bags of sugar and stacked it
for storage.
We saw sugar through a mi­
croscope and it looked like ice
crystals. We learned that 17,000
pounds of sugar was produced.

We got on the bus at one
o’clock and were divided into
groups.
We started the tour
outside where the sugar beets
get
off the train. They are
washed and squirted with water,
then sliced into “caussets” or
noodles and they look like spa­
ghetti.
They soak the caussets so su­
gar can escape. They put the
sugar into bigcarbonation tanks,
and mix the left-over pulp with
molasses and make cow feed.
They filter all the impurties
out of the sugar, then evaporate
the water, anddo more filtering.
Then the raw sugar goes into
tanks where crystalizing takes
place. The sugar is packed and
goes into the storeroom where
it is stacked. If any sugar bags
are ripped or torn, they have to
be filtered again.
Little by little, the sugar is
shipped out to market.
