BEET VS.. CANE SUGAR.

The rapidly Increasing share Of the
worlds sugar consumption which is sup
piled from sugar beets IS pointed out by
a. publication in the monthly summary
of commerce and finance. just issued by
the treasury bureau Of statistics Tn
der the head OF "the worlds sugar crop
OF 1900 it shows that the total beet
sugar production of that year was $780,
900 tons and the cane sugar crop $780,
600 tons. more than two-thirds Of the
worlds sugar supply being thus pro
duced from beets- This statement is
followed by a table showing the cane
and beet sugar production in each de-
cennial year beginning with 1910 and the
percentage which these rival plants have
in supplying the sugar consumption OF
the world This table shows that in
1870 beets supplied less than s per cent
of the worlds sugar consumption by
1850 they supplied over IA per cent: by
1870 "a per cent; by 1880. over 6s per
cent. and in 1900. 67.71 per cent.
The growth Of sugar consumption IS
also shown in a striking manner by this
table III 1910 the total sugar crop Of
the world was only 1.150. 900 tons; in 1870.
2.41s.00o tons; In 1880. 5.702. 600 tons. and
IN 1890. $500. 900 tons The worlds popu-
lation has no mere than doubled during
the 50 years probably not SO much; yet
Its consumption OF sugar is today fully
eight times as much as in 1870
The article in question begins with a
statement from the London Statist to
the effect that but a single factory In all
