Whole No. 1643.

In a recent statement, DR.. Stubs
says: "To the lay public there is
nothing exceedingly significant in
those words, D a. but to the sugar
planter they will be nothing less than
startling. This cane produces thirty
eight tons to the acre. The juice
yields 10 per cent. of sugar. Under
nine roller mill, 81 per cent. is OBJ
tanned without saturation.
eff you will compare these figures
with statistics of cane now grown, you
will realize that this new cane will re-
volutionize the sugar industry in Lou
isiana. The old cane gives an acreage
of thirty to thirty-one tons, with aI2
per cent yield in the juice. Under the
roller it gives percentage of II.
"The new cane is long-jointed, green,
perfectly healthy and beautiful in ap-
pearance. 1t has an excellent stubble,
and remarkable vigor 1t withstood
the terrible gale that swept over the
city on September 9th and 10th. 1t is
deep rooted and strong. and was the
only cane in the field that was not
blown either fiat or partly down to
the ground. 1t was not damaged the
least bit by the storm"
III the LOUISIANA f1dnter ana sugar
Manufacturer of February 20, 1904,
appears the report of Prof. P. E. Blon-
in. assistant director of the Louisiana
Experiment Station, of the results
of this work, in the development and
distribution of these two seeding
canes selected from hundreds of seed
lings with which they have expert
mented: not only the results obtained
at the station, scientifically and exper-
mentally, but the field results of num-
bers of our foremost sugar planters,
who have cultivated these canes on
commercial scale under ordinary field
conditions
These results are truly phenome-
nal, and prove beyond cavil the truth
of the assumption that the tonnage
and sugar content of the cane plant
can, and has been increased. in as
great a ratio as ever the beet has and
that the continued strife for excellence
will give us plant as far superior to
the original cane plant as commonly
grown, as the sugar beet of the pres
ent day is to the original type. This
report is of too great length to be
quoted here. All those interested
should procure the report and study
it. I simply summarize the results
as given by Prof Blonin, and follow
his figures to the final results. He
says: "The canes are known as ID "a
and ID o5,' and have under culture
at the station for some ten years, and
Louisiana but a few
years" The summary of the report
taking a field of 500 acres as a basis
of comparison. the field to consist of
$50 acres of plant cane, and $50 acres
of first years stubble. and comparing
it with an equal area of domestic. or
home cane, under similar conditions
of age and culture, is as follows:

Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines,
10000 tons. Total imports, includ-
ing the colonies, 100000 tons. We
produced in the States of beets 100000
tons. OF sugarcane in Louisiana, $780,
600 tons. A total consumption in the
United States proper of 100000 tons.
Recently the production of Ameri-
can sugar has been largely increased
by the establishment of the beet sugar
industry in the West and Northwest,
and by the annexation of Our island
colonies, Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the
Philippines; still with this enormous
increase in the American production.
we produce but thirty per cent of the
sugar consumed with the United
States proper. While on this sub
ject, | wish to call your attention to
the fact that with the exception of
$4,000 tons of beet sugar from Ger
manv and 10000 tons of Western
beet sugar, this vast amount is cane
sugar only. The total cane sugar pro-
duced in the world is 4,5o4,II4 tons,
of which the United States consumes
2,6S5,ooo tons; not quite so per cent.
of the entire cane sugar production of
the world. The increase in beet sug
ar production during the last twenty
years, under the fostering care of Ger
many, Austria, France and our own
government, has been phenomenal.
Two-thirds of the worlds sugar was
produced from beets in IoOI-2. While
in Ioo4-5 little more than half the
worlds supply was made from beets.
Cane sugar production having increas-
ed proportionately, that is, while beet
sugar has not decreased in quantity,
cane sugar has increased nearly so per
cent. in amount produced. While beet
culture has had the intelligent, foster
ing care of our own and the various
European governments, bounties, re-
bates, tariffs and drawbacks, cane sug-
ar has had neither, on the contrary,
legislation has always been adverse to
cane sugar production in our own
country and in England; the two
largest sugar consumers in the world
Scientists and trained agriculturists,
men eminent in their profession, have
been retained in the interest of beet
culture, to breed up a plant from six
to fourteen per cent sugar content
Vast sums have been expended in this
and other countries, to promote the
industry, with wonderful results
Until very recently, no intelligent eff
fort to improve the quality of trop-
1cal cane, nor methods of manufac-
turing cane sugar has been made No
effort was made to encourage or ed
ucate the cane grower, to improve his
methods, decrease his cost of culture
and manufacture. Recently, I am
glad to say, the Louisiana Sugar
Planters Association at their own ex-
pense, established sugar experiment
tai station, and placed a competent
man in charge-a practical man, as
well as most eminent scientist. The
results have justified their faith. and
the Louisiana sugar planters have
reaped rich reward for their invest
ment. The improved methods of cu1-
ture, fertilizing and Manufacture. to

cane, has repaid them many fold.
am pleased to say that our general
government and the State of Louis
lana now contribute literally to the
support of the station.
That cane sugar can be produced in
the cane belt in the South for less cost
than beet sugar in the West or in Eu-
rope, can certainly be proven. | be-
lieve that but small part of the sum
expended in the effort to establish the
beet sugar in America, intelligently
used, not in experiments, we have
passed that stage years ago, but in
demonstration of the facts, as to cost
of production and manufacture, would
have long since made America the
principal sugar producer of the world.
Mr. President, | believe the time so
long hoped for by yourself and your
associates has come. That a new era
in the history of cane sugar produc-
ton in America is upon us. When
note the interest shown by the head
of the United States Agricultural De-
partment, that eminently practical far
mer, broad-minded agriculturist. and
far-seeing statesman, the Hon. James
Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture; DR.
H. w. Wiley, Chief of the Chemical
Bureau of the Agriculturist Depart
ment and Prof w. c. Stubs, direc-
tor of the Louisiana Sugar Expert
ment Station, | feel that the long per-
iod of waiting for recognition of the
intrinsic value of this peculiarly South
ern production has passed and that
the sugarcane of the Gulf States will
now receive that careful, scientific care
and culture, and official recognition of
its value, that has so long been given
to its humble relative, the beet, which
has for years njOyed the protective
care of our own and European govern
ments, and had the consideration of
the most eminent scientists, agricultrl-
rists and statesmen of both CONT
nentS, to assist in its development.
Now that cane has attracted atten-
ton of statesmen. scientists and bust
ness men, | have no fear of the result
Though the beet has been wonder
fully developed, and the business has
grown to enormous proportions, | be-
lIeve that recent results in cane cul-
ture justify me in predicting far
greater development in cane culture
That sugarcane is susceptible of vast
by careful selection and
intelligent culture. has always been
my contention. Though in its natural
state it has always been, and is now,
superior to the most improved varie-
ties of beets for sugar making.
Recent results in Louisiana under
the practical and scientific direction of
DR.. Stubs, have demonstrated the
of these claims made by
myself, that, with less cost and labor,
and in far shorter time, greater i'm
could be expected from
intelligent efforts to improve a nat
ural sugar plant, than one not origi-
nally true sugar producer The re-
suits of the work at the Louisiana
Sugar Experiment Station, covering
a period of only ten years, in cane
breeding and selection. have recent
