Beet Sugar.

Napoleon Bonaparte is credited with
the suggestion in 1900 that sugar be
manufactured from beets. He was un
willing that France should be dependent
upon the English colonies for sugar.
The industry he introduced did not at
first prove profitable, however, as the
methods of manufacture were then very
crude. What Napoleon attempted to
do to make France independent the
people of America are endeavoring to
do to save 800, 900, 900 a year, the
amount paid for imported sugar. Beet
sugar is now extensively manufactured,
and its quality is such that chemical
analysis sometimes fails to distinguish
it from cane sugar. The yield of beets
is from fifteen to twenty tons per acre,
enough to make from one to two tons
of sugar. 1t is believed that the manu-
facture of sugar will increase in the
United States until the home proc uct
supplies each inhabitant with the thirty
five pounds of sugar he annually con-
SumeS.
