However, in 1902, under stimulus of a bounty from the Province, four plants were constructed in Ontario, al Wallaceburg, Dresden, Berlin (Kitchener) and Wiarton, . Even with five-year bounty aid, only the Wallaceburg plant survived. Machinery of Dresden and Wiarton factories was moved to U.S. while the Berlin Company struggled along until taken over by bondholders in 1909. Wallaceburg alone carried through to eventual success but only through an infusion of ad­ ditional backing provided by original founders. In 1909 the firm purchased the Berlin plant from the bondholders under the name pf Dominion Sugai' Com­ pany, Limited; and in 1916 built the large Chatham factory. Sugar beets, at long last, became a valuable basic crop in .Canada. CANADA AND DOMINION SUGAR CO.
