Sugar Beets.

PELzER, s. c., Dec. IL, 1897.
Editor anderson Intclligcncey: l am
glad to see the editorial in your paper of
the 18th inst. in reference to sugar beets
and the development of this industry in
this State. The State of New York of
fered year ago bounty of one cent
per pound on all sugar made in the State
of New York from beets raised in that
State. Why cannot South Carolina offer
a similar bounty and put in operation in
the State Penitentiary sugar refinery?
Let the State make the experiment. I
understand the machinery, etc., will cost
100000, and if the enterprise can be
made successful, capital can easily be in
duced to build refneries at different
points, or the beets can be shipped in
carloads to some central point where the
refinery is situated.
During the present year this country
has paid eighty millions of dollars for
foreign sugar imported into the United
States. This year over six hundred
farmers in New York State have planted
sugar beets and sent them to refinery at
Rome, N. y, and I am told netted sixty
five to seventy five dollars per acre. The
beets average 10 pounds ofsugar to every
100 pounds of beets. The lev. Geo. M.
Rogers, Of the White Plains neighbor-
hood, has practically demonstrated that
these sugar beets can be raised to advant-
age in Anderson County. We need
another industry, and as useful as the
local cotton seed mills have been in add
ing so largely to the income of the cotton
farmer, so in few years possibly the
benefit from the development Of the
sugar boet industry would be as great.
It is certainly worth looking into and
considering by our Legislature and all
interested. ELLISON A. SMYTH.
