Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 101, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 August 1899 — Still Striving for the Beet Sugar Factory. [ARTICLE]

Still Striving for the Beet Sugar Factory.

Up at North J udson the effort to secure a beet sugar factory is still in progress. It is necessary to get 6,000 acres of beets pledged by farmers, in order to secure the | factory, and that seems likely to be a pretty difficult undertaking. The movements deserves success and the people of North Judson are working for it with a zeal that ought to secure it whether it does so or not. Above all the North Judson News is making a magnificent fight for the movement. The factory will be a good thing for the, northern party of this county, and we notice that quite a good many around Tefft and Wheatfield are signing the agreement to raise beets.
