The Beet Sugar Industry.

An editorial in the last Boston Cultivator
has the following in relation to the beet su-
gar industry:
Once more is it too much to expect for the
beet-sugar industry that it will be the saliva
ton of the agriculture of old New England?
We think not. We have no purpose now TO
give statistics on this matter. 1t has been
stated over and again-the enormous quanti-
ties of sugar imported into our country, for
which gold has to be paid. In New England
are found the same general conditions for
growing the sugar beets as are found in north
Germany; the beets grown here yield richly
of sugar, and there can be no question of
the success of this industry, provided beets
are grown. \ new factory for the manufac-
ture of beet sugar has been built at Port
land this season, provided with the most APP
proved machinery from Germany, and 1t is
to be started up the present week, under the
most encouraging prospects. From every
part of Maine the reports fromthe beet fields
indicate that the yield will be an average of
fully twetny tons to the acre. In no feature
can this enterprise prove failure, provided
sufficient beets are grown; and the growing
cannot prove failure, provided farmers
make point of cons uming the pulp by feed
ing it to farm animals. Men have been found
with sufficient faith in this business to build
the factory; if farmers will now grow the
beets this industry is sure to extend and en-
brace other sections of New England and
the East until our agriculture is once more
put upon a solid basis, and our own country
becomes independent of foreign made sugar.
And lust as the West is coming to the front
as the producer of wheat and beef for the
world, leaving New England agriculture sad
lv at disadvantage in comparison, the beet

Every train leaving Cape Cod is more or

The South Carolina cotton crop is about
30 per cent. less than last year, but the def
cheney, to some extent, is met by increased
acreage. The crops in North Carolina and
Virginia suffer considerable damage by
storms and shedding. The average yield
shows decline of 90 per cent.
Rubber has again advanced. About week
ago it was at - cents, but now it is at so to
81 cents. cablegram from Para on the Sth
