The beet sugar industry da'es back as
far as 1910, when a few hundred pounds
were produced. Since then statistics show
much tluctuation in the small quantities
produced till 1883 it reached the point Of
1000 tons The years '94. '95 and '96 show
a production of 10000, $4,000 and 10000
tons. at such bounds it will not he many
years till the industry will take rank
with our foremost industries. The beauty
Off is that it is not confined to any spe-
cial section but seems to promise success
north, south. east and west. 100000 tons
is Of course only a drop in the bucket
compared to the 1000, 900 tons consumed
in the Ulited States but at the rate of ex-
psnsion of the industry for thu last few
years in so years we would he prod ucipg
as much sugar from beets as wa now use
from al sources.

have understood that none ofthem should

either the descendants of Am srican mis-

of American missionaries. Since the
