Another company opened a factory in 1924 and later sold out to Canadian Sugar Bactories Limited, which now operate three refineries within a 40- mile radius of Lethbridge. One is at Picture Butte, another at Raymond and the third at Ta ber. The latter was completed in 1950 at a cost of $5,000,000 The number of growers steadily increased until now more than 1,500 farmers are harvesting more than 400,000 | tons of beets annually. In 1925 the beet harvest yielded 41,500 tons, Sugar production jumped by 13 times from 1925 to more than 130,000,000 pounds ex- pected this year.
