Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 29, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 December 1898 — A Great Beet Sugar Project. [ARTICLE]

A Great Beet Sugar Project.

Messrs. Jameson & Heidrich, of Peoria, 111., have purchased from Danielson & Ellinaon, of Hamlet, Stark county, 1,880 acres of land for $30,500. It is proposed to start a beet sugar factory if the coming Indiana legislature passes a bounty law. Sugar beets testing 22.09 per cent, sugar were grown on this land last year. Jameson & Heidrich also have a future t option on 1.880 acres owned by the same firm, and also, it is said, on several thousand acres more of individual tracts.
