Paper mill proposal to aid farmers in Devils Lake area
A plan to build a $200000 to $250000 paper mill at Sweetwater Lake would convert farm straw into printing paper, creating about eighty jobs and producing roughly 85 tons daily. Farmers could net at least $1 per acre, with stock funded by subscriptions and profits estimated at 12 percent. Local leaders endorse the project as a regional boon amid rising paper demand and wood pulp shortages.
