CAN WE GROW OUR SUGAR ?
Why Not, When Europe More
Than Supplies Her Millions.

Why Not, When Europe More
Than Supplies Her Millions.
New YORK Press
The people of the United States con-
sumo at least 100000 tons of sugar
every year. AT present not more than
10 per cent of that amount is produced
within our own territory. Cuba pro-
duces about 100000 tons of cane sugar.
Germany produces 100000 ton of be
sugar, and other European countries as
much more. The total sugar product of
the world is little over 100000 tons.
The worlds consumption of sugar is
rapidly out-running the production. In
three yerrs it has increased 1,0S3. 900
tons, an average of $4,000 tons per
year. Last year the consumption was
6.289, 900 tons. and if this year shows the
usual increase. the consumption will be
6,650.O00 tons. Careful statisticians,
however, have estimated this years
probable crop at only 100000 tons, of
which 3,400,000 tons are produced from
beets, and 2,760, 900 tons from cane. 1t
is evident, therefore. that unless there
is soon large increase in sugar pro-
ductiOn, the demand will largely eX-
ceed the supply.
The production Of sugar from beets
was first begun in France in 1911, under
the auspices and direction of Napoleon
Bonaparte. II is only within the last
thirty years, however, that beetS have
rivaIed and finally surpassed cane as
sugar producers. At present conti-
mental Europe not only grows its OWN
sugar, but also exports largely, primer
pally to the United States, which is,
both absolutely and III proportion to
population, by far the greatest sugar
consuming country in the world. If
Europe can produce her own sugar, willy
can not the United States do the same
thing? 1t has been found by expert
meI.t that the beets in Germany produce
from to 10 per cent OF saccharlne mat
ter. and at the latter figure their culti-
vation is exceedingly profitable. 1t has
been demonstrated that i'll the
vast dry upland plains of our
Western country, where the sun
where the amount of moisture can be
regulated by irrigation, the beets will
produce at least Is per cent of Sacchar-
Inc matter, and it is fair to presume
that, with proper selection of seed and
proper cultivation, the percentage
could be raised to at least 20. The
raising Of beets for this purpose has
only lately been begun in the United
States, but the concerns that are now
operating are understood to be making
some return for the capital invested.
If Europe, with its limited area and
it's partially worn-Out soil. can raise
sugar for its own consumption, certainly
this country, with its almost limitless
expanse or cutivable lands not yet fully
sin use and with its virgin soil and its
happy climatic conditions, ought to be
able to raise more sugar than Europe.
There is here an opportunity for capital
that is not often presented. The cane
sugar supply has about reached its limit.
rrhe demand is already in excess of the
SUNNY in sight

Of the Chinese Exclusion Act
Made in New York.
NEW YORK, May 24.-Another test OF
the Chinese exclusion act was made
today before Judge Lacombe in the
United States circuit court. Ny Look,
a gray-hared Celestial. who has been
in the country for thirty-four years,
and who served as cook on board gun
boat during the civil war, was the VIC
tim. Look was wounded i'll the leg
by bullet from a Confederate gun. He
was carried to the federal building on
a cot. Ny was represented by Mr..
Choate and Maxwell Evarts. The latter
asked a certificate, aud Mr.. Choate
contended that Ny was entitled to 1t.
He said that Ny had no excuse
to offer why he had not secured

time. Judge Lacombe, in accordance
with the provisions Of the Geary act,
refused to grant the certificate. Ny was
placed under arrest. but he was re-
leased in a few minutes in order to be
deported from the United States when

The third annual field day of the st.

Another Chance at the
Oriental Rugs.
The Sale to Be Continued
Through Today.
Thursday.

We have decided to continue
oIr rug sale one more day, and
only one day. You may thank
the weather for this.
We counted on closing out
the entire collection in three
days, and we ought to have
done so. We did not count on
such weather, however, and
consequently we find ourselves
on what was to have been the
last day of the sale, with more
than half of the rugs still on
our hands; many of them the
choicest, richest and most de-
sirable rugs in the entire col
lection. They must be cleared
out in some way or other.
We have had, at least, the
satisfaction of making d good
many people happy.
A gentleman from st. Paul
remarked yesterday, "Well, L
have bought six rugs and got
them at less than half what l
paid for some rugs not one bit
better a little while ago in st.
Paul"
Two ladies visiting Mime
apo1is, who have travelled con-
siderably in the Orient in the
past ten years, were present at
the sale yesterday and made the
remark to one of our statesmen,
'In all our experience we have
never seen anything like it.
We paid more for the same
rugs in Constantinople."
We could mention other in
stances of a similar nature, all
going to show at what a sacri-
fee rugs have been selling.
1t is past the question of prof
it or loss now; it is a question
of getting rid of the rugs. They
have got to be sold. We pro-
pose to clean out the lot tomor-
row, no matter what the loss.
The sale will go on in spite
of the weather, and at 5 5o'clock
this afternoon the chance of a
lifetime for securing Oriental
Rugs at your own prices will
have gone forever.
The sale will be held at the
same hours today as usual.

Fine Work Done by American

any public trial by three-year-old seen
in years, and those who saw it were
amazed. The Oneck stables derby can
didate, g. w. johnson, worked with Sir
Walter mile and quarter yesterday
morning in 2:1i15, and the former was
easily first at the finish. Ramapo,
Gideon & Daly's colt that will bear the
