COST OF PRODUCING SUGAR.
Interesting Compilation on Beet
and Cane Sugars.

A very interesting statistical compi-
lation has been made for the Beet Su-
gar Gazette by Mr.. Paul Doerstling. SUI
perintendent OF the beet sugar factory
az I.a Grande. Or, The result Of his re-
search is given below. It shows the
relative cost Of producing cane and
beet sugar in the various countries,
and win come as revelation 10 many
who adhere TO the idea generally held
that cane sugar is produced much
cheaper than beet sugar. While this is
true in the cases OF several especially
favored countries, like Java, Cuba. Por-
10 Rico and Hawaii. the general aver
age cost OF producing sugar from cane
is shown 10 be higher than that pro-
duced from beets This is due, OF
course. principally TO the employment
OF better machinery in the beet sugar
industry and the resulting higher out
put OF sugar from given quantity OF
raw material. Thus. while il takes
twenty tons OF cane to produce LIS
tons OF sugar, ten tons of beets make
1.oT tons OF sugar.
Mr.. Doerstling's compilation is the
result OF great deal OF patient and
pains;aking labor. and the high stand
ing OF the author viii give il an addi-
tionai value as reliable statistical
study.

BELIEVES SOIL is SUITABLE.
RAPID ADVANCE IN THE
STATES IN PRODUCTION
OF BEET SUGAR.
Comparative Cost Of Cane and Beet
Sugar as Compiled by Oregon
Man-worid's visi-
bic Supply.

"A reader who says be means busi-
ness and can command capital writes
us for some plain facts as TO the growth
OF cane and the production OF refined
sugar in Florida subject that has
been treated in the columns of this pa
per. and the results quoted submitted
10 every test Of discussion and practi-
cal examination. Therefore, We are
enabled to sum up this matter by
quoting to him the calculation made
by Captain r. T. Rose, our foremost
authority. to the State Agricultural So
ciety. and fully indorsed by Mr.. Paul
Dupuy. a louisiana planter Of thirty
I've years. experience. and by Profes-
sor v. c. Stubbs. director OF the Lou
isiana Sugar Experiment Stauon-the
three having thoroughly examined the
subject and reached agreement on the
points now given. Better and more
trustworthy authority could not be
found.
Let us premise. then, that our indus
trial independence has not become a
fact while We import so much sugar
that our expectation OF wheat only
pays for half of it, and our exported to-
bacco for one-fourth. When we can
furnish our own sugar we can truly
be independent. except for the trans
poTtation OF our products ON English
bottoms. Why should not Congress be
as anxious to see ussdelivered from the
payment of the sugar tribute as that
OF our ocean carrying trade?
We import annually 5000. 600. 900
pounds OF sugar, or $500, 900 tons. We
produce less than 16 per cent of the
sugar we consume, though Florida has
lands admirably suited for the growth
OF cane, in large part now lying idle.
Why is this? Solely because cane and
syrup are too bulky TO pay transporta-
ton charges. The same difficulty ex-
actly confronted the cotton planter till
the mills were brought To his door, and
he began 10 ship the finished product.
The same remedy should be applied in
Florida 10 the sugar planter. and he
will grow rich while making his coun-
try independent.
Why did not the cotton planter APP
ply the remedy sooner? Because he
had neither the capital nor the train
ing necessary. Why does not the Flor
idian solve his difficulty? For the same
reason exactly. II will come to us as
II did to the cotton planter. but mean
iimey how much must the country send
beyond its borders for sugar and how
long must the Floridian exc out
bare existence and his State wait for
its legitimate development?
The proof is conclusive that Florida
has lands well suited to supply this
deficit. the product should be twenty
tons OF cane per acre; there should be
a yield of 5000 pounds OF sugar per
acre. at total labor cost OF less than
I cent per pound. The rest is ques-

Utah Enterprise.

The Mormons have displayed mar
vicious enterprise in developing beet
sugar industry, which turns out about
10000 pounds of white sugar an
nually and pays dividends of about 20
per cent on the stock The novel fea-
ture OF their enterprise is the system of
conveying the beet juice TO the factory
through a pipe line twenty-five miles
long. The juice is pressed out close to
the farms and pumped from the watts
into three-ineh pipe. and thus con-
veyed to the factory, saving immensely
in cost of transportation

Why Not Raise Our Own Sugar.

The New York Sun, in commenting
ON the failure of sugarbeet mill COM
pany, because the mill was too far
from the beet fields, says:
why should we not raise our own
breadstuffs and provisions and cotton?"
There is no reason why We should
not. According to the Suns figures. it
would require only million acres of
land TO grow the sugar We now con-
sumo. II is safe to say that we have
that. amount of cane sugar lands, TO
say nothing about the beet-sugar lands.
Attention is being drawn to the cane
sugar lands of this State and Florida.
we mentioned few days ago that a
sugar refinery. to cost million dollars,
was to be built at Tampa. In our dis
patches yesterday it was stated that the
prospect of refinery at Quitman was
very promising 1t would not be at all
surprising If there should be quite a
number of refineries in this State and
Florida within the next few years

cures for Him a Wife.

Skill with the rifle and steady nerves
have won bride for Charles Mrzena,
a prosperous young farmer near Cal
lender, Webster county. Miss Minnie
Anderson, the daughter of wealthy
farmer in. the county. was loved by
Mrzena and companion farmer named
Alstot. The young woman did not have
the heart to choose between the two
lovers. Neither man would retire. In
this difficulty the friends of all sides
suggested a target match the winner
to carry off the girl.
The lovers agreed to abide by the re-
suit of this somewhat ancient test, but
when Alstot faced the target his nerve
gave way. and although he is an ex-
cellent marksman his bullets all went
wild. Mrzena. on the contrary, was as
steady as steel and hit the bull's-eye
twice.
