Large Beet Meeting Draws Big Crowd At Chamber Event
The chamber of commerce hosted a Friday beet meeting with about one hundred attendees including many farmers. Prof C L Fitch from Iowa State spoke on beet cultivation and marketing, rotation plans, seed bed prep, and sugar content as key to profits, while William Saucke discussed industry from factory and grower perspectives. A potential beet acreage project near Estherville could bring dumps here. The event closed after questions and a prize for guessing local beet acreage, won by Harry Shook with 1050 vs actual 1048. A new display front was installed at Coon Carpenter Market replacing the old recessed window with parallel plate glass.
