TT TAKES q million dollars a day to
1 satisfy Uncle Sans sweet tooth, be-
cause the average citizen in the Unit
ed States consumes half his own
weight in sugar every year.
These and other interesting facts
are given in statement issued by the
bureau of statistics, which reads more
like a fairy tale for children than a
government report.
The total consumption In the
United States in 1907, the latest year
for which the figures are obtainable,
was 1859, 667,975 pounds.
Calculating this enormous total at
the average retail price Of 81 cents
per pound the report states, I'VE get
a total of 1872, 100000 as its cost to
the consumer, or more than million
dollars for each OF go days OF the
year."
The statement shows that 21.3 per
cent, or 1911, 100000 pounds, of the
sugar consumption OF the country was
of home production, III per cent, or
1854 100000 pounds, was brought from
our insular possessions and the re-
naming 61 per cent, or 4,3670OO,O 600
pounds, came from foreign countries.
Forty-three million pounds was the
aggregate of the expectation of sugar
from this country.
The United States sugar record for
1907 was unique in that the quantity
of that product imported from foreign
countries was larger than ever be-
fore, the quantity brought from our is
land possessions was larger than In
any previous year. the quantity pro-
duced at home exceeded that or any
other year the quantity exported was

decade, and the per capita consump
ton was the largest ever recorded, ap
average Of SIG pounds for each man
woman and child In the country.
An equally interesting feature oil
this record year of 1907 was the fact
that the production Of beet sugar for
the first time exceeded tho produc
ton Of cane sugar, the product of the
year being, cane sugar, 544,000,00C
pounds, while the production of beet
sugar amounted TO 100000 pounds
The worlds production has prac
tically doubled in the past 20 years
having grown from 17,000,000,00C
pounds in 1887 to $4,000, 000, 00C
pounds in 1907.
