Beet Sugar Factory Wanted

Beet Sugar Factory Wanted

William Gentner, the progressive German farmer of Scio, residing on the Jackson road, was in the city today. He said, "why don't the people of Ann Arbor rnove in the matter of getting a beet sugar factory located in Ann Arbor. It would be a good thing for this city, particularly because so many of our Germans around here come from the neighborhood of sugar factories in their old homes. They understand how to raise sugar beets. It is not only a profitable crop to raise for the money received, but lots of feed is returned to the farmers. There would have to be a number of receiving stations to be established. One such could for instance, be established in Freedom. Here the beets would be received in the fall, aud during the winter the beets would be hauled to the factory. I believe a move should be made in this direction. "
