separating the two crops extremely
difficult This difficulty was increased
by the fact that the severe flosts Of
1899 so injured the crop of ribbon
cane that the average yield was pfae-
tically the same as that of sorghum
cane. while under normal conditions
it yields twice as many tons per acre,
of cane The greatest care, however,
has been observed in compilation, and
the figures presented are believed to
be substantially correct.
From the AGO acres of sugar cane
grown in 1899, so pounds OF sugar anG
44,S19 gallons of syrup were produced.
In addition, l, $40 tons of cane, valu-
ed at $6,440. were kept for seed. The
only census prior to 1900 in which sta
tistics of sugar production in Arkan-
year 40, 400 pounds of sugar and r.
O0S gallons Of syrup We're reported.
in making comparisons between the
statistics for these two years allow
ances must be made for the fact that
! fully 60 per cent of the crop Of 1899
was destroyed by frost. A normal yield
from the acreage reported in that year
would have produced approximately
l12,04S gallons OF syrup, gain OF
more than - per cent over the pro-
duction of sugar and sirup in 1869.
In 1900, 22.1S2 farmers reported, in
the aggregate, III ,13S swarms Of bees.
They obtained in 1899, 26.5 per cent
more honey and 1892 per cent more
wax than was reported for 1899.
Below is a statement of acrea gcs
and values of principal farm crops in
! 1899.
