Making Sugar.

Next to cotton, sugar making is the
standard product of the south Atlantic
and gulf states. Sugar is perhaps the
most generally used product in the coun-
try.
The need was so great and the supply
so precarious that the northern and north
western people OF the United States turn
ed to sugar-beet raising and those who
were debarred by climate in the middle
states from cultivating regular sugar
cane turned TO the raising Of sorghum.
Some days ago bought some country
made sorghum and nearly a fourth of the
molasses turned to sugar. The most OF
our people now prefer sorghum syrup to
Georgia cane, because the farmers syrup
is thicker and has more body to it.
But the northwest makes it's sugar from
beets and the sugar-beet industry has
grown 10 immense proportions. The re-
fuse from the beet factories fattens pork
and nothing is wasted or lost
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson gives
some interesting data in his report this
year. In the year 1896. there were only
is sugar-beet factories in the United
States These is factories sliced only 1000
tons per daZ.
In 1908 12 years later, there were 81 fac
tories slicing 5000 tons daily. The price
OF the beets continues to advance. In
lE96 the factories paid the growers A.1O
per ton. Now they pay SIS per ton.
The total amount paid out by sugar beet
factories In II years reaches S121 900 in
round numbers
This industry has become one Of the
most successful I'm the United States
There are 100000 invested in these fac
tory plants including the irrigation ex-
penses.
Colorado has the greatest number Of
plants and produces a great quantity OF
beet sugar. Michigan, Utah, Idaho and
wisconsin are doing a large business in
the same line.
One factory in California slices 5000 tons
every day.
It is wonderful to see how a kind Prov
idence develops new industries when the
limit has been reached with the older
ones
SuRar-cane was the dependence a half
century ago. 1 remember we'll the first
introduction OF sorghum seed into our
part of the country and 1 have often
said the Confederacy was largely sustain
ed by sorghum syrup in the last years Of
privation and scarcity.
I remember seeing some really nice SUI
gar extracted from common corn stalks
Gen. William L. Due was commissioner Of
agriculture in Washington City and he in
vited us to go over to the agricultural
building and see the sugar he had ex-
tracted from common corn stalks. 1 saw
the stalks and the sugar and seeing was
believing"
We can all raise sugar-beets and thus
prevent q famine in sugar, but the south
ern climate gives us real sugar-cane and
the finest varieties of sorghum

Cotton Seed on q Boom

A seed buyer Matted me as I drove
along the street a few days ago and
said, I'll give 40 cents a bushel for
all your cotton seed. Mrs. Felton,
Unfortunately aid not have any
TO sell but I remembered the time
when I was young. and cotton seed
got in the ginners' way, and our farm
ers were too busy to even haul away
their own cotton seed from the custom
gins. They were considered so worth
less.
One year we had such an enormous
heap outside the gin house reaching
above the upper story windows. that
my husband decided to cover our gar
den with them as an experiment We
had a measured acre in the enclosure
and the seed were scattered three
inches deep all over the inside.
Some people objected to the plan
because they thought the ground would
suffer. with such an overdose of old
rotten cotton seed.
But the vegetables told another tale.
and as we had to sur6ly the negro
quarters with cabbage and beans, when
their cook prepared their dinners, We
had no scarcity ever afterwards. For
20 years we could discover the in
creased fertility Of the spot.
Now the expense of ginning is easily
paid with seed as we'll as the expense
OF picking and hauling to the gin.
AS food for stock. we find cotton
seed meal in active demand out in tho
far north west. Cotton seed may not
vet have succeeded TO its kingdom. but
IL is on its march to the crown 1t
would now pay to raise cotton for seed
