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
cent of scearing some as low as 12 per cent but
a small portion below 14 per cent. They were also putting
up a large quantity of Beets for seed for Next Year
The seed they are saving is much better than imported seed
