            THIS WAS  NEVADA: Phillip I.  Earl
            Sugar beet factory near Fallon a  failure
            By Phillip I. Earl
            Nevada Historical Society

From the earliest territorial days to the present, much of Nevada's history has focused on economic diversity and the search for economic stability. The mining boom on the Comstock Lode came to an end by the mid-1880s, and the state was left without an industrial or manufacturing base due, in part, to the machinations of the Central Pacific Railroad. Although new markets for cattle, lumber and agricultural products took up some of the slack, the '80s and '90s were hard years for the Silver Stat

Among the crops that interested some Nevada farmers were sugar beets, already being grown profitably in California, Utah and Colorado. California sugar king Claus Spreckles investigated prospects for the best cultivation and sugar production in Nevada in 1891, and R.H. McDowell, a university chemist, found that beets grown in Mason and Carson valleys averaged as high as 21 percent in saccharin content

Spreckles would agree to put up a processing facility in Nevada only if he could be assured of at least 2,000 acres in 14 percent beets. The few beets grown by Nevada farmers were thus fed to livestock. Interest in beets continued, however, and Nevada farmers sent a beet exhibit to San Francisco's Mid-Winter Fair in 1894. By that time, Spreckles was requiring a minimum of 10,000 acres to justify the expense of a sugar plant, so beet production never got off the groun

With the development of the Newlands Project in Nevada's Lahontan Valley after the turn of the century, interest in beets revived. In 1909, members of the Fallon Commercial Club set up a committee to investigate beet culture. A Southern California enterprise, Case, Heinze & Co.,  sent engineers to Fallon in April 1909 to explain cultivation techniques and promote

Statistics from Utah and California indicated an average $3,000 per acre rise in land values when beet cultivation replaced alfalfa; local farmers signed contracts for 7,000 acres. Charles A. Hascall, chairman of the sugar committee, raised some $20,000 in stock subscriptions and the Nevada Sugar Co. was organized in March 1910 with a  capitalization of $1 millio

Plans for a sugar factory southeast of Rattlesnake Hill on 20 acres donated by Thomas Dolph were completed in July 1910. The Heinze firm shipped two railroad cars of equipment from California that summer and invested $35,000 in the construction of a building. Other euipment came from a Spreckles operation in Watsonville, Calif., and the facility was ready for operations by late summer 1911.

Thirty tons of beet seed from Bohemia  had been planted in April and May, but most of the crop failed after the plants developed a fungus called curly top. The factory began operations on the remaining small crop and the first sack of sugar was produced Jan. 6, 1912. Visitors on hand that day were given small souvenir sacks embossed with the company logo, and several thousand one-pound sacks were sold. Local farmers, having lost their investment in the 1911 crop, contracted for only 2,000 acres in 1912. Beets from Lovelock, Mason Valley and northern California were imported, but the fungus again took the local crop and production totaled only 15,000 sacks.

In 1913, the company went into   receivership with I.H. Kent, a Fallon  businessman, named administrator. The plant had another disappointing year and closed in 1914. Even the high sugar prices return the company to prosperity.  Financier George Wingfield and a group of Michigan investors purchased and reorganized the company in 1916, but 1917 production amounted to only 24,000 sacks. The factory sat idle until Wingfield and a group of local investors tried again in 1927. Many problems -- beet shortages, transportation woes and equipment problems -- resulted in another loss and Wingfield gave up.

Low sugar prices in 1928 canceled another attempt and the factory and equipment were sold to a San Francisco metal dealer. In April 1934, work began on scrapping out the machinery for sale and shipment to Japan. Before the work  was completed, several local bootleggers moved in, setting up a large still to produce illicit liquor from the sugar remaining in the vats. They shipped their product out in cans labeled "honey." On June 23, federal prohibition agents raided the facility, arresting Albert Bondi and  confiscating 100 gallons of liquor and 25,000 gallons of a sugar solution and mash ready for distilling. Scrap crews finished their work later in the fall and Fallon's sugar beet experiment faded into histor

San Jose Mercury and Herald

Following a short visit here in the hope of regaining his lost health, George D. Hascall, formerly a well known business man of San Jose but lately of Hood River, Or., passed away yesterday morning at the home of his brother, Andrew L. Hascall, on South Crittenden street. A desperate fight was made for his life, but overwork and an attack of malarial typhoid contracted in the North was more than his constitution, never robust, could endure.

The late George D. Hascall was a native of Winona, Minn., and was only 33 years old. He came to California about ten years ago and was for some time postmaster, railroad station agent, and express agent at Edenvale, where he lived with Mr. E.A.  and Mr. J.O. Hayes, distant relatives. He was graduated from the Pacific Coast Business College with such distinction that he was immediately given the local agency for the Remington Typewriter Company and afterwards was given the management of the Los Angeles Branch. Lately he had been living in Hood River, Or., where he had a flourishing real estate business and a fine fruit ranch. Attending to both businesses and taking an active part in the improvement and promotion work of his new home, Mr. Hascall overworked himself and a month ago came to San Jose, hoping that the valley's climate would bring back his health as it had done several times before.

Mr. Hascall is survived by his widow, who was Miss Maude Rogers, a daughter of William H. Rogers of this city and a two year old son, Don C. Hascall. Other relatives who mourn his loss are his father, Dr. C.A. Hascall of Fallon, Nev., a brother Andrew L. Hascall of San Jose; and two sisters, Mrs. L.W. Hubbard of St. Paul Minn., and Mrs Z. Steele of Huron S.D.

January 30, 1890

On Sunday morning last, the sad news was circulated that Madison H. Buck was dead. Only a few days previous he had been on the streets attending to his ordinary business, and many of his friends had not even heard of his illness. Early in the week he had what he thought was a slight attack of the prevailing malady, "la grippe," and continued to labor as usual until late in the week the desease attacked his lungs. I very soon developed into acute pneumonia and on Saturday night he died.

Mr. Buck was a native of the state of New York, and was fifty three years old. His father resides in Maywood, Ill., to which place deceased was taken for burial. He came to this city about six years ago and took charge of Telephone Exchange, which he has managed ever since. His business took him to the homes and business places of our best citizens, and his genial, social disposition made him friends wherever he went. In conducting the business of the exchange, he met the requirement of its patrons so well there has never been the least trouble in the management of the business.

He leaves a wife and five children to mourn the loss of a kind husband and affectionate and indulgent father.
