Those ofyou who hold shares in
these enterprises can answer this
question better than 1, for unfor-
tunately for me, not being stock
holder in any sugar company, II
have not had access to the books.
l have, however, gathered few
figures which 1 believe to be cor
Itect: ,Seventy-seven thousand tons
OF beets produced II 900 tons of
sugar; i, e., seven tons Of raw
material made one ton of sugar.
To produce these ii, BOO tons of
sugar, there was an Outlay for
fuel, lime, labor, ETC., of S2oc, 900;
il e., it took 5000, 900 to transform
$1,000 tons of beets into 1900
tons of sugar, being cost of SIS
dollars per ton for the manufacture
of the sugar. Add to this the cost
OF the beets, at 81 per ton, and it
requiring seven tons of beets to
make one ton of sugar, we have
the cost of material, S2S; cost of
manufacture, SIS; add for errors
and omissions, $I.5o and we have
the cost OF one ton ofsugar, S47 so.
"The price obtained for t,Hs
sugar was S67. so per ton; dedr$,-
ing above cost of $47, so fronfssNae,
and we have net profit OF SEQ per
ton on 1000 tons, equals $ooe,-
900 for one season, as a return upon
a capital Of say 81 900, 900, or say
% per cent. per annum. If this
estimate is so per cent. too high,
we still have profit of II per cent,
and we know that capital is wdll
pleased with return of 10 per
cent. per annum. These figures
are not surprising when compared
with statements from two factories
i'll Germany, where the annual
profits for 1895 are shown to be 40
per cent. and IS per cent. respec-
lively. To purchase 77,ooo tons
OF beets at S. per ton, it requires
S3oS, 900; to work the same, $780,
900; consequently the working
capital shouli be $500, 900, and
$500, 900 will pay for the requisite
plant; consequently a properly
equipped beet sugar company re-
quires a capital of say 1000, 900
Sugar. however, is a cash article,
and company with intelligent
financiering could be we'll conducted
upon a capital Of half that amount.
for the season is short, four months,
and the working outlay is soon
recouped. 1t is quite within the
range of probability to state that
some of our local sugar enterprises
have earned so per uthr per annum
upon the capital actually invested.
And this in spite of the fact that
we have not yet in California a
mandatory constructed upon the
most improved methods. 1t is
supposed by many that we are de-
pendent upon foreigners for the
necessary machinery, but it ',bas
been demonstrated that the Ameri- 20
can machinist can supply every
thing required, and there is little
doubt that when the inventive
genius and the practical facilities
of the skillful Yankee are called
into plat that even present methods
will be much improved. ."-(From

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Some Valuable Information Concern
ing the Cultivation of Sugar
BeStS

Mr.. Joseph Callihan, farmer in
Washington county, near Hillsboro,
/ was in the city yesterday on his
1way home from an extended trip
through California. For several
years prior to coming to Oregon,
Mr.. Callihan was the owner of a
farm near Alvarada, Cal, and was
a considerable producer of sugar
beets for the factory located at that
place. During his recent trip Mr..
Callihan visited the sugar-beet
industries in the different parts OF
the state, and learned also that two
new factories are contemplated in
the near future, one at Silinas and
one at Alamitas, in the vicinity of
Anaheim. This will make five
factories for California, one of which
is proposed to have a capacity of
5000 day. A particular instance
of the success attending the intro
duction of beet-growing into a
community is afforded by the ex-
/ perience of the Ventura country,
neal the Chino factory. In speak
ing of this place, Mr.. Callihan said:
I'm Ventura county there is a
beautiful valley, extending from
the sea to the mountains, populated
by thrifty farmers, whose present
comfort has come from the soil,
which grows everything from tumble
weeds to oranges. These farmers
found in their local paper of Febru-
airy 6, last year, a notice from a
local firm that seeds would be fur
nished if the farmers would Under
take the task of producing sugar
beets With the notice were the
following instructions:
"'Plant a space 90 feet square
one-tenth Of an acre.
Keep all stock off the land
after the rains begin.
"'Plow deep, pulverizing thor
oughly the soil before planting.
Sow when the soil is warm;
afer the rains; say in May or April.
Zone pound Of seed will sow
onc-tenth of an acre.
Sow in rows, 18 CT 90 inches
apart.
"sow with drill, forced seed;
SOW shallow, just deep enough TO be
covered.
"'secd should come up in from
seven to al days.
I Thin the beets out as soon as
they develop four leaves,
"'Thin out from 6 to 10 inches,
according to richness of. soil.
"Leave only one beet in one
place, AID that the most vigorous
one. ....r
keep weeds out entirely.
"'Do not allow crust to form
On top Of the land after seeding or
while beets are growing.
e" Continue to keep the soil loose
/ by drawing a cultivator between
1 the rows, until the tops cover the
ground.
"'Beets should ripen in from 100
to 100 days after sowing.
When the outer leaves turn
yellow or die down, it is an indica-
ton that the beets are ripening, or
ripe
"In September of the same year,
just eight months after the notice
was published, tests were made by
experts sent from the Chino factory
under an arrangement made by
which the Chino factory bought the
product at a price based upon the
saccharine purity percentage. All
the beets that were sent ripe ran

matter; consequently, it is fair to
state that the beets ran a fraction
higher than the tests indicate. The
average price for the entire ship
ment was S4.75 per ton.
The average tonnage an acre
was not ascertained, but a close
estimate is made that it will run
over II tons. In some cases over
%, while in other places only II
tons were raised. All were sur
prised to learn that such rich beets
were raised with so little care and
attention. The per cent. of
saccharine matter averages : per
cent. higher, and 8 per cent. higher
in purity, and over three tons more
per acre than in Chino, where the
beets for the factory had been
previously grown.
Thirty farmers experimental in
different parts Of the valley upon
about $50 acres in all. The result
of this small endeavor is that now
1900 acres are under contract with
the Chino factory to be planted this
season, and farmers have signed for
$500 acres, which they agree to
plant for five years. The contract
price is $3.o5 a ton for beets con-
tanning not less than 10 per cent.
sugar, and all additional IS cents
per ton for every per cent Of sugar
i'll excess of II. AS the product
will probably average IS per cent.
the price will be 81 per ton.
This locality is ITO miles from
Chino, and the average haul from
the farms to the railroad is 10 miles;
so the farmers will lose the cost of
hauling and the railroad freight, a
total of say, s. ton, or, OH a pro-
duct of $4,000 tons, they will be
out $3.50, 900 in consequence of not
having a factory in that locality.
The contract is so drawn that the
Chino factory has the first privilege
Of erecting factory, and any out
side party contemplating building
one in that district will be deferred
from doing SO, which is misfor-
tune to the farmers; but in the
enthusiasm oftheir SUCCESS in beet
growing, they signed away the
chance Of securing a factory at an
earlier date than the Chino pro-
prietors may see fit"
Mr.. Callihan said that the uniform
experience in California has thus
far been that in the commencement
era, the factories have difficulties in
securing sufficient beets; but after
its establishment is assured, and
the production III the locality is
proved, then the production over
taxes the factory. Farmers are
slow to enter into the business, until
it has been demonstrated by actual
trials that it is a SUCCESS. Even
where beets grow near with the
most hattering results, districts de-
lay starting into beet-growing until
its success seems to be a moral
certainty. In most Of the cases in
California of beginning, owners of
land have been induced to plant
and properly ctltivate a small patch
otSeets, which were submitted to
thet chemical l%tests to determine
s$daharine contents; apd when
these proved satisfactory, pr6Huction
if greater qualities were ebysptured
upon. AS soon as returns are re-
ceiyed by some for their beets, the
rush begins, and available land is
all planted until the limits of the
factory have been reached.
Mr.. Calliham also attended a
meeting of agriculturalists, given
under the auspices of the Chit Chat

yOu. 1Ou Will see outside the
factory long rows of covered bins
overfowing with headless beets, for
the vegetable is decapitated in the
field. Then as you enter the fac
tory, you will observe a verv
peculiar and unpleasant odor, to
which you soon, become-accustomed,
and ere long are deeply interested
in the manufacture Of sugar, of
which your guide will furnish a
description similar to the following:
The beets are first washed by
machinery in flowing water, and
sliced into a peculiar shape by
rapidly revolving knives. having
fluted edges. These ribands, called
cosettes, are fed into the diffusion
battery, where the process begins.
The battery consists of a circle of
I2 or IA cells, resembling upright
steam boilers, each charged from
the top and having a capacity of a
ton ofribands. After being charged,
water is admitted first into one,
then through an intervening heater
into another, and SO on until lhis
water has completed the circuit,
when it will have become so satur-
ated with juice as to be almost equal
in density to the expressed Juice
itself. This first water is followed
by other supplies, until all the
sugar is had that is commercially
! obtainable; then the exhausted
ribands are discharged through the
bottom, compressed and stored for
cattle food. This residue, or pulp,
contains only about two-tenths of
one per cent. of the sugar originally
in the test.
"The principle of diffusion is to
obtain by sort of osmotic process
the sugar juice held in the minute
sacs in the beet, and this without
brieging away the cell membrane.
From the deffusion battery the
juice, resembling muddy water, is
pumped to tank, from which
measured quantities are passed for
treatment first with a definite pro-
portion of milk Of lime. This
either decomposes the albumen,
coloring matter, salts, acids, etc, ,
or it renders them inert. These
undesirable substances having an
affinity with the lime, unite with
it, and carbonic acid gas is after
wards forced into the liquid, and,
joining ,hel lime, forms precipitatc.
The juice thus treated is forced
into series of filter presses, con-
sisting of iron frames filled with
perforated plates, covered with
burlap, and in this process all the
foreign, solid and coloring matters
are deposited. After this it is sub
jected to a careful treatment with
sulphurous acid, and then a filtra-
tion leaves it almost colorless, and
ready-for the evaporating process,
where il is boiled with steam heat
in vacuum. Then it is passed to
the vacuum pans, where the vacuum
and heat are greater; and when the
process of granulation has been
carried to the proper point, which
is determined by the sense of
tough, the viscid mass is passed
through the centrifugal machines.
Here the molasses is thrown off,
then the damp sugar crystals are
dried by hot air and packed for
shipment.
This process, intricate as it may
seem to the layman, is rapidly ac-
complished. The beets go into the
factory today; tomorrow they are
pure white granulated sugar, ready
to be put into your coffee.
