thing over two thirds Of our consump-
ton, thus paying an annual tribute
Of about $40, 100000 to foreign coun-
tries for that which our own idle lands
could easily be made to produce. Nor
does this estimate include the imporl
! from Our colonial possessions, Porto
Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines.
/ A serious leak, indeed, is this foreign
sugar leak.
Most of the sugar consumed by us
us still cane-sugar. The total cane
sugar in the world last year was only.
3,N5,OOO tons, and of this the United
States used 2,192,00O tons, or almost
two-thirds Of the entire output. But
how much of this did she herself pro-
duce? Only 275,OOo tons!
This is the sole agricultural product
'of any consequence that we now i'm
port. We have magnificent surplus
Of wheat, corn, animal products, tobac-
co, and cotton, and the export OF
these brings in handsome revenue
indeed. Yet, consider: No two tartic1es

ceed in value Our import of sugar. In
other words, you may dwell with pride
upon the ninety-six million dollars
brought into this country last year by
the golden tide Of wheat that flowed
out But remember that it would take
every cent OF this, with all the returns
from export of cattle, horses, mrles,
sheep, hogs, and poultry, to pay our
sugar bills! The thought may we'll give

Here is the opportunity for farmers
desirous Of removing to the South;
and there are thousands of such-those
who for reasons Of climate, health, or
family considerations, must make the
change to this section, so abounding1y

sibilities.
The area for sugar cane in the South
Atlantic and Gulf states, is large, ample
enough indeed, to produce all the
sugar as we'll as the syrup that could be
consumed in this country, and yet leave
a large margin for export. The rich
lands of South Georgia lie in this belt,
a portion of the coast region Of South
Carolina, all Of Florida, much Of Ala

nearly all Of Louisiana, magnificent
