Sugar Beet Factory Plan for Nevada Seeks Rail Cooperation
A wealthy Pacific coast capitalist discussed Nevada sugar beet factory plans with Gardnerville Record, urging railroads to cooperate amid higher railroad taxes. He outlined contracting with statewide beet farmers, using pulp for stock feed, and placing a refinery on the railroad. Initial investment would be experimental, potentially reaching millions if acreage expands. A railroad from Carson City through the valley would suit the project, with Carson Valley shown as a promising beet region.
