Secretary Hicks is still optimistic
and asserts that he will be indicated
when he is placed on trial.
All efforts to induce him to make
any statements discriminating other
members of the school board have
failed so far. He maintains that he
was trapped into doing something
which will appear in another light at
the trial and that there is nothing

Growth of the Sugar Industry

Figueres gathered by the bureau Of
statistics show that the average Ameri-
can citizen consumes half of his own
weight in sugar every year and Uncle
Sam s sugar bill averages million dol
lars a day. Tie total consumption of
sugar in the United States in 1907, as
shown by a report issued by the bureau
which is the latest year for which
statistics have been available, reached
I 7,0s9, ,667, ,975 pounds
Calculating this enormous total ut
the average retail price of 51a cents per
pound' the report states, eve get n
total of $372,0O0,0OO as it cost to the
consumer, or more than million dol
lars for each of the 365 days of the
year.
The statement shows that 2l.3 per
cent of Isl 100000 pounds of the sugar
consumption of the country was of
home production; III per cent or
l,254, 100000 pounds was brought from
our insular possessions and the remain
ing 81 per cent or 4,367 100000 came
from foreign countries. Forty-three
million pounds was the aggregate or
the expectation of sugar from this
country.
The world $ production has practical
ly doubled in the past 20 years, having
grown from 100000 pounds, in 1887,
to $4,000 100000 pounds in 1907 and
while the United States consumed
about IS per cent of the total world 3
production of 1887, it consumed 90 per
cent of the greatly increased production
of 1907. Beets now supply one-half of
years ago they supplied but about one

,r former years.
Pptatoes,- UnfaNorable weather
made the potato only 275 million bush
els, or per cent below the 5.yeat
average, although the value (l90 mil
lion dollars) is IS per cent above and
was never equaled by any former crop.
All Farm Crops.-For the first time
this year, the value of all farm crops
equals billion dollars, and of this total
the value of the corn crop is about one.
third; wheat, hay and cotton combin-
ed make more than another third, and
the smaller crops tho remainder, or
nearly one.third.
Never before has the hay crop been
so large in quantity nor the rice crop
nor the sugar beet crop, nor beet and
cane sugar production. The production
of barley has been exceeded in only one
former year, and cotton by only two
years at the most.
The highest crop values in compar-
ison with former years are held by coru
wheat, rice, all cereals, potatoes, sugar
beets, possibly tobacco, by beet sugar
and by beet and cane sugar combined.
Next to the highest value was reached
by hay, barley, oats sugar, and perhaps
by cotton.
Animal Products.-Although the far
mer gets hardly 20 cents pound for
his butter, between 3 and cents Il
quart for his milk and about lh cents
for each egg, yet the value of the farm
products of the dairy COW is getting
close to 800 million dollars, and the
value of the eggs and poultry produc.
ed on the farm is worth as much as
the cotton crop, seed included, or the
hay crop, or the wheat crop. i
The aggregate value of animals sold
and slaughtered and of animal pro,
ducts at the farm amounts to about
three-eighths of the value of all farm
products, estimated upon the census
basis, and is getting nearer and nearer
to 3 billion dollars.
The exports of agricultural products
in the fiscal year 1908 were valued al
$1,017 100000, an amount greater than
for any year except 1907, the reduction
of 81 million dollars under that year
being chiefly due to the falling OF
in value of cotton exports.
