KauHaaSugar


CONWAY SPRINGS, Kas., Sept. 80
The Conway Springs Sugar company is
now being operated day and night pro-
ducing sugar at every strike. Several
lots are now in the hot room that show
fifty two per cent of sugar and but
eleven per cent or about one fifth of
glucose, an extraordinary showing.
1t is estimated this will swing out
in dry sugar nearly, if not
quite one hundred pounds of sugar per
ton Of cane. Nearly two weeks were
required TO work the early cane which
being mixed with late varieties pro-
duced only molasses, there being sew
eral car loads of this product. The re-
naming crop is of most excellent quail
iCy, daily analysis showing an ever
constant and increasing high per cent
of sugar.
The machinery is working admira-
bly,, one hundred and fifty tons of cane
being worked daily. The question of
producing sugar from sorghum is set
tied at least so far as this locality is
concerned.
The United States department. of
agriculture, represented by Professor
SchweinitZ and assistants, are render
ing valuable aid in this work.
