Beets to Sugar Plant Draw Large Marshfield Crowd
An excursion to Chippewa Falls Sugar Company drew over 500 visitors from Marshfield to inspect sugar manufacture from beets. Manager Postel hosted dinners and distributed souvenir sugar. The plant, brick five stories, employs 200, cost over $1,000,000, running day and night. Beets travel via canal, are ground, refined, and shipped as granulated sugar. The crop’s potential grows, with 300 to 500 acres planned next year, farmers paid about $3 per ton, freight baked in, pulp fed to stock. The beets yield 15 to 16.5 percent sugar, and a farmer profited on 4% of an acre. The community mourns the sudden death of Mrs. E J Hahn, a popular Marshfield society figure, with funeral details noted.
