SUGAR PRODUCTION AND THE HOME MARKET

1t is hardly matter for doubt that the United
States produce all the sugar they require for home
consumption and have left for export our pro
ductve capacity is at all taxed This means of course
the production Of both beet and sugar.
Secretary ofAgricuture Wilson thinks that this in.
dependent position in the matter OF sugar can be
reached within period of ten years His predictions
however are based on the possibilities Of the produc-
ton Of beet sugar. AS the Macon Telegraph saws in
his calculations for the future of the sugar Industry Of
the United States Mr. Wilson has apparently taken
into consideration the millions of acres of virgin land
in the South which are capable of producing sugar from
cane as cheap and as proftably for both planter and
manufacturer as the Northern States can produce
sugar from beets. Georgia Florida, Alabama. Mssls
