SUGAR FOR ONE CENT A POUND
DR.. Peter Collier, formerly chemist of
the Agricultural Bureau at Washington,
recently laid down the startling prOpo-
sition that sugar can be made in abun-
dance from sorghum for one cent
pound. Such an achievement, or any
close approach to it, would be of imense
importance to the people Ofthis country;
and the possibility of it possesses pecu-
liar interest Just now while the Spanish
treaty is under consideration. Nowhere
in the world, except, perhaps, in Eng
land, is as much sugar eaten in proper
tiOn to the population as in the United
States. Our annual consumption IS p
3OO,OOOOOO pounds Europe, with six
times as many people, eats only about
7,0O0,0O0,000 pounds. Leaving out
the cost of refining the raw sugar when
we have bought it, which would add
from quarter to a third to the price,
and saying nothing of the 100000
gallons of syrup and molasses we use,
our annual sugar bill is about $780, ,O0O,-
600. Seven-eights of this money goes
to foreigners. If DIR. Golfers PROPOSE
ton is sound, we need not pay over
$20000,000 or $25,000,000 a year for
our sugar and every cent of this should
should go into the pockets of American
farmers. Not only this; in time we
should be able to produce more sugar
than we need, to undersell the growers
of cane and beet sugar in other cOun-
tries, and to buildupa large export trade
that would still further enrich American
agriculturist. refners and merchants.
If, now, by the ratification of the Span
ish treaty, we should prevent the real
izatiOn of this possibility, greater in
jury might be done to American indus
try and popular welfare than any other
that has been mentioned in connection
