The Chino Sugar Factory Opens
the Season
A LARGE OUTPUT EXPECTED
The Chino Beet Fields Are the Best in
the World
A Business Which Has Already Assumed
Raormous Proportions and Is Capable
Of Vast Expansion

The ponderous machinery OF the Chino
sugar works will begin operations today
ON the seasons crop Of beets, and not
withstanding the removal OF the bounty,
the season promises to be the most sue
sessiul ever known, not only In the
amount OF sugar turned out, but in the
net result to the manufacturers and to the
community which has been built up OH
the proceeds OF the indutry. For the pres
eat season thescaracityof the plant has
been very largely increased, and the pro-
duct Is expected to be equal, il not SUI
perior, 10 any heretofore put on the mar
ket.
From accurate data it is demonstrated
that the yield of sugar per acre at Chino
during 1S03-94 was superior to that OBJ
tained in Germany, Austria or France.
In fact, all the American factories in
their yields compare very favorably with
those of Europe.
The total area devoted to beets for the
seven beet-sugar factories in the United
States this includes the small output OF
Virginia-was in 1S93-94, 1884 acres,
from which were obtained 1876, S95 tons Of
beets and As, 191 $3.50 pounds sugar, cores
ponding tn yield of 800 pounds ugar
per acre, and an average OF 230.7 pounds
per ton Of beets worked on an average ex-
traction of 11.5 per cent. The average
yield OF beets per acre was 9.9 tons. Ac-
ceptshg these figures as basis for calou-
lation for the union. the consumption OF
sugar during 1884 was 2so24.64s tons, or
sugar there would be needed at least
1000, 900 acres of land. it the yield be 10
tons to the acre. and beets sell for "a per
ton. The money for these roots repre-
sentp the enormous sum OF $50 600. 600 that
would be put INTO circulation among the
farming population.
consumption Of sugar in the United
States during the year 1894 was 2.O246
tons--i. g., 265, 500 tons domestic beet
sugar, 800 tons sorghum sugar, 5000 tons
maple sugar. $1,000 tons domestic manu-
factured molasses sugar. or 305'SOO tons OF

Oroville Mercury: 1t is believed that
over 5000 olive trees have been planted in
California during the past year. This Is
not circumstance TO what should be
planted. This state has an immense area
splendidly adapted to the culture OF the
olive. The latter is one of the easiest
grown of trees, requiring little or no irri-
gation and fohrishing on land of little
utility for ymany other purposes. The
consumption of the olives and of the oil
made from them is rapidly increasing, as
their production enlarges and people be-
come familiar with them. The Califor-
MIA olive oil finds ready market and
brings higher price than the imported.
