Hough was made chairman and E. L. Richards, secretary. Dr. Head made a telling speech, showing the great advantages accruing to the farmer and the county generally if the industry were located in this vicinity. The soil, he said, is especially adapted to the raising of sugar beets, and by concerted action we can at least assist in getting a sugar factory located in this part of the county.
