BEET SUGAR.

An Industry in California That Will in
Time Supply Our home Consumption and
Prove highly RemuneratiVe
In the days of tariff discussion, reel.
procity treaties and contests between rival
sugar producers and refners, the public
is naturally led to regard the production of
cane sugar as its only hope for supply of
the saccharine substance. This. however,
is not the case. and it is not putting it too
strongly to assert that the world could be
supplied with sugar if not another pound
of sugar cane were grown. In such sn
event a substitute could readily be found
in the sugar beet, the growth of which, and
its manufacture into sugar, is an industry
which has already achieved proportions of
which few are aware. Already the Eng
lish market is supplied with beet sugar, to
the exclusion of the cane sugar of her own
colonies. This is supplied by Germany
and France, which have over a thousand
beet-sugar refneries, all successfully com.
peting with the cane sugar on the Euro
pean continent.
The manufacture Of beet sugar in Cali
fornia has had many setbacks, and for a
long time it was regarded as a problem Of
very doubtful solution. But the errors
and misfortunes which were the natural
effects of inexperience have been gradually
overcome, until TO day the industry is in
every respect a success. The Standard
Sugar Refinery at Alverado commenced
the manufacture of beet sugar in 1879. In
the campaign of 1880 its production
