Sugar factory closes after fifty day beet run
Billings December 1 A deep toned whistle at the Great Western Sugar plant signals the end of the beet cutting season. The last beet was run into bins Thursday night and the final sugar ready for shipment on government orders. The mill employed about 500 men with 130 retained year round. The season began October 10 and ran 60 days amid unusually favorable weather but a record small beet crop. Sugar shortages push plans to plant more beets next year and contracts at high rates indicate optimism. Lovell factory closed earlier for similar reasons. The company has bought the C M Pairvan near Hardin to convert for beef culture next year.
