Sugar Beet Institute at Alma Stirs Farmers Debate
At a Gratiot county institute in St Louis and Alma, attendees heard cautious estimates showing sugar beets yielding better returns than dividends from some producers. The meeting praised civic support, backed a move to protest any proposed tax or toll reductions, and favored holding the next institute in St Louis Alma and Ithaca. President Coleman and Secretary Adams were re elected. Attendance topped 2000, with Javan Woodman of Paw Won a highlight for his engaging talk.
