Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progress of the Beet-Sugar Industry in the United States in 1905 The installation of a sugar factory is always accompanied by the introduction Of the most modern and scientific methods Of farming applied to beet culture, and incidentally to other branches of farm industry. Intensive farming is taking the place Of cattle and sheep grazing. With the advent of more dense populations comes the demand for modern appliances and equipment. This leads to harnessing the power Of the descending mountain currents to produce light, heat, and power. Through the ditches and over the wires come these modern agents Of helpfulness to civilized man's industry. For ages the energy Of these mountain streams has gone to waste. TO the aborigine and the early white settler the shining whiteness Of the snow caps in the distance meant only the decoration Of the landscape. TO the modern inhabitant it means a potency far reaching in the economy Of human affairs. From these melting snows come streams leaping down to the valleys pregnant with energy to be applied by man in digging the ore from the mountains and extracting the metal from it, in speeding the wheels Of transportation, in producing light and heat for the home and business house, and in furnishing power for use in manufacturing. To utilize this energy there must be population. Population must have a supporting agricultural industry. The establishment of beet - sugar factories not only makes it possible to utilize these great natural forces, but fosters one Of the greatest and most profitable forms of agriculture.
