The Beet.SuGar Experiment,
fBoston Journal, June l2ih.I

-
The experiment which company is ma
king in the production of beet-sugar is one
OF general importance. Last year, rs our
readers are well aware, the experiment was
tried on small scale, and proved satisfac-
tory. The farmers along the lines OF the
railroads found that the beets. at the prices
paid, would pay moderately. and the com
pany at Portland found no difficulty in ma
king good sugar from them. This year the
company has entered upon the enterprise
with vigor. Early in the season sufficient
number Of acres OF the root were arranged
for TO run the works at Portland to their
full capacity. Seed has been planted in
three State>-Maine, New Hampshire, and
Massachusetts. 1t is stated that the return
of the business was so promising that a
better price for the raw material is paid
| this year than last. Those VITO have given
most attention to the matter in Maine are
confident OF success. and confidently pre-
diet that the production OF bret-sugar is an
industry which will give agriculture. in
New England new impetus, and open q
new field for profitable investment. a
Virginia is the place for making fortunes
out of beet-sugar. New England is too
cold. -..," Wv -. ,-r.:r,<
