An Encouraging Iodus,rv.

The development of the b~eet-sugar
industry is rapidly progressing in the
Western States. Last year three fac
tories were successfully operated in
California, turning out over 100000
pounds of sugar, on which was paid the
government bounty Of $l6O. 900. There
are also factories in Utah and in Ne
braska, with others in contemplation.
The American Agriculturist for March
has a lengthy article upon this subject,
from which we gather that our total
annual consumption OF sugar amounts
to l ,SS5,994 tons of 2,240 pounds each in
1891, being 67a pounds per capita of the
population.
OF this quantity we imported from
foreign countries over 1850, 900 tons,
paving therefor more than 500, 600 900.
The domestic production OF sugar last
year WAS only 266, 900 tons, but the next
decade will witness q marked change
in this respect. Heretofore it has been
impossible for us TO grow much sugar,
owing TO the high rate of wages ~ COM
pared with the pauper coolie labor of
foreign sugar-producing countries. This
is nov changed by the government
bounty OF 2 cents per pound, which
places us on the same plane as Hawaiian
sugar growers, who, under a reciprocity
treaty, have practically been paid that
amount, through remission of duties on
all their sugar imported here.
This bounty will be in effect till Juiv,
1903, and affords ample time for the
b,.ilding up of a stupendous agricultural
industry second to none in the world,
and n which will pay handsome earn
lngs to investors. Enterprise and capt.
tai should o delay in this undertaking.
II a large area Of Western territory be
devoted TO sugar beet culture, it means
a proportionate decrease in other crop
products which will accordingly benefit
