CONTINUING AGITATION, FOR SUGAR BEET FACTORY Samples of Beets, Submitted to Prof. Bull by Al H. Jester, Makes Good Showing.—J. J. Opsahl Is Pushing Project Vigorously. The agitation which has taken tangiable, substantial form, for the securing of a sugar beet factory to be located in Bemidji, bids fair to eventually resultin the factory being located here—and the work of the commercial club and private individuals to that end is drawing the attention of those who are interested in financing such enter- prises. And there is a growing interest among the farmers in the method of raising sugar beets and in so arrang- ing matters among the owners of land that a sufficient acreage may be planted to beets to guarantee “raw material” as it were for the use of a factory, should one be established in Bemidji. Quite a number of Beltrami county farmers raised sugar beets last year; and A. H. Jester, secre- tary or the Bemidji Commercial club, has been sending samples of these beets to the State Agricultural Ex- perimental Farm, at St. Anthony Park, to have the beets tested as to their quality and fitness as a paying beet to raise for factory use. Several reports have already been received on these beets, and in every instance the report has been very favorable. Mr. Jester has just received his latest report on a bunch of beets which were sent to the farm, in which C. P. Bull, the assistant pro- fessor of agriculture, says: “The sample of sugar beets which you sent in to me for analysis tested 16.9 per cent sucrose, commonly called sugar, and 82.8 coefficient purity. This is regarded as a pretty good analysis.” B These beets were raised by George H. Miller, a farmer living in the Town of Grant Valley, a few miles west of Bemidiji. There has been considerable cor- respondence with capitalists, more especially those who are interested in developing the sugar beet in- dustry, with the idea of securing the necessary financing for a local beet factory. J.J. Opsahl wrote to J. J. Hill relative to the methods of financing a sugar beet factory, and Mr. Hill answered that the men who financed the sugar beet industry of the U. S. are New York men; that they were at the present time in- volved in litigation with the govern- ment and would probably not put any money into new factories. Mr. Opsahl has also taken up the matter of sugar beet factory with the Carver County company, which owns and operates the beet sugar factory at Chaska, and suggested to H. F. Fleigel, the Minnesota manager for the sugar company, that it would be advisable for the sugar beet company and the rail- road representatives to get together and secure an emergency rate from this section of the state to the factory at Chaska, so that the Regular Meeting B.

R. farmers of Beltrami and adjoining counties could raise sugar beets during the season of 1910 and ship the crop to the Chaska factory to show that the farmers could raise not only the quantity required for the maintenance of a factory, but that the climate and soil of this section are such that the quality of the beets would be of the best. E. L. Callihan of St. Paul, the secretary of the Bemidji Townsite & Improvement company, had an interview with Manager Fleigel, in which the latter stated that the Car- ver County Sugar company would probably send a representative to look over the county adjacent to Bemidji. Mr. Fleigel stated that he felt that if the people of Bemidji would take the proper amount of interest in the raising of sugar beets, and raise a sufficient acreage, a sugar beet factory would be established here in the not distant future. He elaborated on what Michigan was doing in the matter of raising sugar beets and the manufacture of sugar, and that Minnesota was doing but little. He was assured that the location at Carver was not nearly as good as Bemidji would be, because of the superior quality of beets that could be raised here. center. J0S.
