The rapid increase OF the manu-
facture OF sugar from beets in the
United States may be seen from
the fact that In 1888 the produc-
ton was one thousand tons, ard for
the last year it was $4,000 tons.
And yet the manufacture Of sugar
from this source seems to be In its
infancy. Austria and France re-
port one million OF tons each,
Germany one million eight hundred
thousand. The United States, with
proper attention, should turn out
more than these three nations CON-
bined.
