LAMAR, COLO., GETS A NEW INDUSTRY

Helvetia Milk Condensing Plant Locates in Town Where T. J. Sayler Resides. Lamar, 0010, where T, J. Sayler and family, formerly of this city, located several years ago, has Just held a formal opening for the Helvetia Milk Oondensing plant, the ninth plant established by the Hel-. vetia company in the United States. The company sells condensed milk throughout the country and selects for its plants sections adapted to dairying interests. It will require milk from 8,000 cows to keep the plant running to capacity and The Pueblo Chieftan, of Jan. 4th, states that it will prove a great industry toward the development of the Arkansas Valley, in which Lamar is located. To 'begin with 40 men will be employed but when the plant is running full capacity 200 will be required. Alfalfa is grown extensively in that section and its value in the.dairying business was a factor which influenced the location of a plant at Lamar.

Our informant would not permit us to say who the sponsors for the new factory are but states that they are men thoroughly able to establish an adequate plant to care for the needs of that boonfling town. Fifty or more houses are to be erected there the coming yeaj and practically all of them will use cement blocks for foundations. Newland will not depend upon onions for its crop, stated a man interested in that country to a reporter for The Republican. He continued by saying: “I really believe that the land there is admirably adapted to broom com and that Just as much if not more money can be made from raising that crop as can be raised from onions.” He then.--informed ns that two Germans raised 2 acres of broom com the past year, which was not the best year for the crop and that they harvested enough to bring SSOO at this year's market price. Potatoes, cabbage, cucumbers and other crops can also be grown at a fine profit.
