Carload Of Chicory Receiv'd From Chelsea

CARLOAD OF CHICORY RECEIV'D FROM CHELSEA.

The first car of chicory roots for the Ann Arbor Chicory Co. was shipped Thursday from Chelsea. The nearby farmers are daily bringing in loads of roots so that the company sheds are setting pretty well filled. The company received a letter from Jersey City in reference to drying a carload of chicory. A carload or more will be sent shortly. The slicing machine is run daily until 1 o'clock a. m., and the kiln all night. President Heinzmann reports there are many calls for the dried product,so that the prospects for doing a good year's work are favorable. Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, roots will be received at Milan, and Thursday and Friday at Urania. On account of the dryness of the season the yield of roots this year has not been as great as in ordinary years; the net receipts per acre are bigger than from ordinary corps. The farmers are generally well pleased with the returns. They have a cash market and no trouble delivering their roots and receiving their checks. The work of the company deserves the support of all citizens.
