Even II these figures Of cane sugar production for

THE BEET SUGAR INCREASE IN
FIFTY YEARS

Washington March % (specaD.-"The Worlds
Sugar Production and Consumption. 1So0-l9O0." is
the title of q monograph just issued by the Treas
ury Bureau Of Statistics. 1t discusses the sugar
production and consumption Of the world during
last year and during the last half century in which
burden of production has been transferred
from cane to sugar beet. and in which the world
has so largely increased its consumption of sugar
The worlds sugar production has grown from 150,-
coo tons 1910 OOOO 1850. During the
period the worlds population has grown.
cordnG 20 the best estimates, from $50 10000 10
about 1,50o 00D00o Thus. sugar production has in
creased about $50 per cent while population
increasing only about 30 per cent. Coming nearer
home and considering the United States alone. it
is found that the consumption of sugar. which in
1880 only % pounds per capita, in 1901
IS pounds per capita.

tics presented in this study is the rapidly ncreas
