Journal Entry

October 24, 1896 ~ Saturday

24 Saturday in company with a whole car load of
Brethren & Sisters I went on the Rail to the sugar
factory at Lehi I found that the company was
improving upon any former year the Last time I wa[s]
there it took 60 seconds to make 100 lbs of sugar today
it took ownly 40 seconds & Beets went as high as 18 per

a small portion below 14 per cent. They were also putting
up a large quantity of Beets for seed for Next Year
