THE FARMERS ON SUGAR.

A farmers institute Was held ut Gsneseo
Monday, ut which Gerritt ). Glenn, Of RochsS-
ter, speaking on The subj oct Of domestic sugar
making declared it to be the most important
question before the American faFmer. lie
stated that the people Of the United States had
paid out for foreign sugar many millions more
than all he gold and silver taken out of our
mines since the disco very of gold i'll I849 and
the deveiopemenl Of silver mining in the
Rocky Mountain States. In proof he estimat-
ed the silver production in 1892 at $50, D 10000,
and the gold at $50, 000. 900, total $50, 900, 900,
against our foreign sugar bill for the same
perici of S1O7, 0OO, 900, n deficiency of 81,
100000. He also said our surplus wheat crop
exported for 1894, which was a good one with
an active demand at full prices, did not pay
our foreign sugar bill for that year. He
gave many interesting facts in relation to the
culture Of the sugar beet aud sorghum for
sugar apd syrup making. -Rochester Democrat,

that American buyers are not inclined to take

from the fear thai any purchases made there
