BEET ROOT SUGAR.
1t Comprises Two-Thirds of the Worlds


1t Comprises Two-Thifds OF the Wofios
Product.
Two-thirds of the worlds sugar Up
is now produced in beets. None OF the
other foodstuffs has seen such rapid de-
velopment. In 1854 the total product
was less than 1S2, 900 tons. Ten years
later it was about 100000 tons. In
1871 1t reached and passed the 1,OOo,-
600 mark. From that time on there
was gradual increase annually, as the
cultivation of sugar beets developed in
the different countries of Europe, until
in 1898 the product reached the total OF
5,OOO,OOO tons year, more than twice
as much as was produced from cane.
The estimated crop for the present year
will reach 5,51OOO0 tons.
