Japs Lease Beet Land Ahead of Next Season
A Japanese contractor, in talks with Billings Sugar, is leasing alfalfa land near Billings to plant sugar beets. He secured 130 acres from T. B. Hunter and the Winne estate, aiming to lock at least 5 acres by Saturday night, at about 99 dollars per acre, with 40 to 50 Japanese laborers planned for the summer. The move could boost profits for landowners and merchants as alfalfa acres shift to beet production. Also noted is a plan for a transcontinental highway funded by automakers, costing around twenty five million dollars, with twelve million in materials contributed by auto interests and local counties covering construction costs. The project would run from New York to San Francisco, potentially replacing earlier steam-road bonds with a modern macadam route.
