THE CROP REPORT.
Sugar Cane Coming to Frcnt-An
Astonishing Showing in Production.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The department.
of agriculture in it's official crop report
for November announces that the indica-
tons are that the world has entered on n
new era in the production OF can sugar.
The department quotes estimates placing
the total sugar production OF the world IN
the year 1903-W at 10, $4,000 tons of 22i0
pounds each, including 4,3i2,S00 tons of
cane sugar and 3,6s0,00O tons of beet sugar.
and SAYS as to cane sugar: During the
past five years the worlds output of this
product has increased from 100000 TO up
wards of 100000 tons quantitatively, the
greatest increase ever made in any five
YEAR period in the history of this industry.
Moreover, for the first time in half
century the ratio of increase in the
worlds production of cane sugar has eX-
ceeded that of sugar made from beets
the percentage of increase IN the former
product for the five years being about
double that of the latter The four years
from 1900-1301 to 1904 inclusive, were
each in its turn record breaking years for
the production of sugar. The previous
high record crop (3,530,0OO tons) was that
of lSg4-95 the crop made Just before the
outbreak of the revolution in the most inn
portant producer-Cuba.
The high record crop in the history OF
the worlds beet sugar production was
that of 1901-02. Since that date there mas
been a decline in production IN Europe
amounting in all to about l,WoVVo tons,
but the present years estimated output
still shows n considerable increase over
that of five years ago.
The report says that about ~ per cent.
of the can sugar of the world is now an
nually produced on tropical ana seni-trip-
ical islands. The prospective output Tor

ment of a sermon on the wedding of

banks or into trusts which come here
to dump their goods and try to ruin
British trade.

WHO IS TO BLAMEq

As usual the roads have been IN
a bad shape all winter. Hauling
and even travel has been difficult,
which has been hard on stock and |
hard on the driver. Now the roads
are in a terrible state, and it is alb
solutely dangerous for one to drives
over some of them in the daytime,
to say nothing Of what might hap
pen to him in the night
Holes long neglected have be-
come deeper and deeper; empty
wagons sink to their azles, and
travelby horseback is not flee from
danger, as horses and mules houn-
laer through mud and mire with
great difficulty,
People complain at this, yet if
they would pause and think for a
moment, we could have avoided
such a condition years ago at a
small cost by merely utilizing the
natural means at hand for building
a mile or SO Of road each year.

gravel beds on every hand, can w
