The Beet Sugar Gazette was a monthly publication covering the entire sugar beet industry around the world. With offices in Chicago, it was published on the 5th day of each month. Each month its pages featured articles on sugar beet cultivation and the sugar manufacturing process, and reports from correspondents in sugar producing areas or re-prints of local newspaper articles on local sugar factories. As such it often printed information giving us valuable information on life in early Los Alamitos and the surrounding area. This report is from the October 1900 issue of the Sugar Beet.
LOS ALAMITOS, CAL.
The Los Alamitos sugar factory finished with beets about September 22, after a successful run of almost a month. The factory is now busy running syrup with a good prospect ahead of several weeks’ work before this is finished. The run, so far this season, has been very successful, the ranchers receiving good prices. The percentage of saccharine matter in the beets raised on clamp lands ran very high/—Los Angeles Times.
