Dir. Lewis 5. Wares late publication, en-
titled Il Study of the Various Sources of
Sugar" states that the value of the sugar
imported into the United States is greater
than that Of any other single article of
commerce. In the year 1880, statistics show
that the astonishing quantity of over ,S29,-
OC,0OO pounds of sugar were imported into
this country, at cost of nearly $3.50, 000,-
O0o. The average yearly consumption per
capita during the decade from 1860 to 1870
was about % pounds, but in the 10 years
following It had risen to IS pounds, an in
crease OF about IS per cent. in 10 years. and
is steadily on the increase.
The sugar production of the world is es-
timated by Mr.. Ware, from statistics, to be
about l2,OOO,OOO,O 900 pounds per annum. OF
the total production about three. fourths is
derived from the sugar.cane and
the other fourth chiefly from
the sugar-beet. The United States
produce only about one SEVENTEEN OF the
total product, the same being derived
chiefly from the sugar-cane cultivated in
Louisiana Beet sugar is almost exclusive
ly produced in Europe, the following coun-
tries in the order named being the chief pro-
ducers of sugar from this source France
Germany, Russia Belgium, Austria, Hol.
land, Sweden and Italy.
Mr.. Ware has no confidence in the sor-
ghum and other canes that have been e1
perimented with for years in northern tenn
perate countries, and he concludes his con-
sideration OF the subject with the declare
ton that the sugar beet is the only practi-
cal source of sugar for the northern states,
which as he shows, can be raised at profit
