American citizen consumes half his
own weight in sugar every year and
Uncle Sans sugar bill averages a mil
lion dollars a day.
A statement issued by the bureau
reads more like popular fiction than
the ordinary government report The
total consumption of sugar in the
United States in 1907. which is the
latest year for which statistics are
available. reached the almost unthink-
able figure of 1889 .6G7,975 pounds
Calculating this enormous total at
the average retail price OF five and one
half cents per pound, the report
states. we get total of 1872 000, 900
as its cost TO the consumer or more
than a million dollars for each of the
365 days in the year.
The statement shows that 2l.3 per
cent. or 1911, 900 pounds of the
sugar consumption of the country was
81 per cent. or 1867 900 came from
home production. III per cent. or =

254 000 pounds was brought from our
insular possessions and the remaining
portation OF sugar from this country.
The United States sugar record for
1907 was unique in that the quantity
OF that product imported from for
eign countries was larger than ever
before: the quantity brought from our
island possessions was larger than in
any previous year; the quantity pro
duced at home exceeded that of any
other year the quantity exported was
larger than in any year of the past
decade and the per capita consumption
was the largest ever recorded, an
average of $40 pounds for each man.
woman and child of continental Unit
ed States.
An equally interesting feature of this
record year of 1907 was the fact that
the production OF beet sugar for the
first time exceeded the production of
cane sugar, the product OF the year
being. cane sugar. ga 900 600 pounds,
while the production OF beet sugar
amounted to 967 ,000, 900.
