HOW We CATER
TO SUGAR TOOTH
Beet Sugar Factories in Michigan
Produce To a Value Of $l0,477,-
900 In 1909.

No better evidence OF Michigan,
standing as a sugar state could be
had than the statement issued few
days ago by the United States CEN
sus bureau on the cane and sugar In
dustry OF the country for 1909. The
report shows that Michigan ranks
third in the value OF products OBJ
tanned from the sugar beet. Col
orado Is In the lead, with California
second. In 1909 there were lG beet
sugar factories in Michigan, which
produced sugar and other products
to value OF $10,477.000. The pro-
ducts were as follows: Granulated
sugar, 10000 tons, worth $9.757,-
600; raw sugar. 600 tons, valued at
$4,000, and molasses, 5,lO6.7OO
gallons, worth $4,000. Ten years
ago there were only nine beet sugar
factories In the state and the pro-
ducts turned out then amounted TO
but $1,602,000 in value.
Since 1899 the sugar industry has
made rapid strides. each year show
ing a better and larger crop than its
predecessor. The season for the past
year was the most successful OF them
all. Thirty-fve thousand farmers
engaged in the growing OF beets and
the crop harvested was 100000
tons. For the beets alone the grow
ers received from the sugar COM
panies S7,000,000, some farmers get
ting as much as $125 per acre. The
average yield per acre was about IL
tons, an increase of about three tons
From the beets the factories pro-
duced 60,000.000 pounds OF sugar.
an increase of 80 per cent over the
production Of any other year.
That the sugar industry Is also
profitable to others besides the grow
ers is evidenced by the fact that.
last year, the sum OF $4,000 was
spent to harvest the crops. and $780,
900 for labor in the factories. Each
plant expended $4,000 for barrels for
packing sugar, $1,000 for bags.
while the cost of coal and other sup
plies for each plant, amounted 10
$25, 900. About 800 men are en-
ployed in each OF the II factories
during the season.
The Michigan railroads also shared
in the prosperity Of the industry,
getting, IL is estimated. about l.
100000 from the factories and farm
ers in freight rates on the transpor-
tation OF the sugar beets and sugar.
The coming year is expected to be
an even greater one for the beet
sugar industry. Most OF the farmers
who grew beets last year have al
ready made contracts with sugar
companies to do likewise this year.
and many others are expected TO take
up the growing OF the beets. In 1910
an area Of about 100000 acres was
under sugar beet cultivation. The
farmers are beginning TO realize, the
sugar companies say, that they take
few chances Of failure in the growing
OF bects, inasmuch as no product OF
the field will stand as much dry
weather or as much rain as IL does
AS matter Of fact. the sugar men
say that the drier the season the
more there is in the beet The farm
er Is paid for his beets on the basis
Of sugar content.

DOES DETROIT
LIKE CANDY? YES!
Big Increase in 10 Years in Manu-
facture and Consumption-"All-
Day Sucker" Popular

Detroit has a sweet tooth that eats
up about 5000 tons of candy in a
year, or about "a pounds per capita,
assuming that all that is manufac-
tured In Detroit is consumed here,
this enormous consumption repre-
sents in cash no less than about S2,-
100000.
Within the past 10 years there has
been a very large increase in the
manufacture and consumption of
candy in Detroit, the growth per
capita representing about 100 per
cent. This also means a tremendous
consumption of sugar. there being
about $500 tons. or 257 carloads. in
5000 tons Of candy.
Much of the candy made in Detroit
is gobbled up by the children, Of
course. but there has been, Of late
years, a big increase in brands which
youngsters, as a rule. don't get.
Chocolates, for instance. are now
more popular than ever, as are
marshmallows and licorice drops.
These candies are, for the most part,
purchased by the grown-ups.
But the penny" goods. the kind
the children usually buy, have lost
nothing in popularity. AS a matter
of fact, there is now a greater de-
mand than ever for them. The "all-
day sucker" never had a heavier
patronage than right now. As the
dealers say, "it is in every child's
mouth" The old-time peppermint

DETROIT GOES
OFTEN TO GROCER
Its Bill Is $4,000, 900 a Year, Repre-
senting Per Capita Out
lay of 500.

Now that Detroit has about reach
ed the half-million mark in popula-
ton, an enormous quantity OF gro
ceries is required TO feed the city.
Therefore, don't lose your breath
when you are told that the food
stuffs handled by the wholesale gro
GERS OF the city In a year represent
q value of $50. 900. per capita
outlay OF 500. This estimate is
based on the calculations OF one Of
the shrewdest men in the wholesale
grocery trade Of Detroit. man who
estimates carefully and we'll before
he makes a statement for publica-
ton. The grocery trade. as matter
Of fact, has kept pace with the big
advance in the population, having
shown an increase OF about SO per
cent in the psat 10 years.
Greater evidence OF the enormity
of the grocery trade Of the city may
be seen In the fact that there Is in
vested in the wholesale stores about
$4,0OO,000. This vast amount COW
ers all parts OF the different plants.
real estate, equipment, etc.
In the wholesale grocery trade OF
Detroit some Of the brainiest men
of the city are engaged. They are
constantly planning to honst their
own interests and at the same time
take into account the welfare Of the
retailer. One Of the chief aims Of
the conscientious wholesalers of the
present day is TO work hand-in-hand
with the retailers and prevent them
from getting loaded up with more
goods than they require. Also. the
fair-minded wholesaler Is taking care
TO stock up with goods Of absolute
quality, rather than take any chance
on selling his retail customers an in
ferior article.
The Grocers' Criterion gives some
advice TO the retailers. Part Of its
article follows:
when a new delivery wagon is
purchased, an extra clerk employed,
every additional fixed charge means
increased cost Of selling a dollars
worth Of goods in that particular
store. and IL the proprietor does not
take II into account he Is neglecting
q very important matter. II Is alb
solutely necessary to scrutiniZe the
incident to the conduct
OF any kind OF business. 1t some
times means the difference between
profit and loss.
IF store has one clerk too many

necessary item Of expense Is thus
In a we'll managed gro
Gerry II is not difficult to tell when
there are too many clerks. because in
such store all clerks should be busy
practically all the time. There Is
no spare time in the well
conducted grocery. Having the right
men in the right places-no hangers
on-or ornamental fixtures-goes q
long ways toward making the bust
ness successful.
ut is woeful evidence OF poor
management to carry men on the
payroll who are not needed and who
do not actively contribute to the
daily progress which the business
should be making, Even although
a salary ia small, II is too large IL II
is unnecessary. Efficiency is one OF
the principal objects to be sought in

TOXIC. Feb. IA meeting of Ameri-
cans resident in Japan was held in Yo-
kohama recently in the interest Of the
international peace movement and res
olution designed to refutet the reports
that public sentiment in this country is
hostile to the United States was adopted
as follows:
"Resolved, That, in our opinion the
people of Japan have at all times enter
tanned the most friendly and cordial
sentiments toward the government and
people of the United States and that
there never has been and is not now any
feeling other than one of confidence and
gratitude. We believe, upon evidence
which cannot be doubted, that there Is
not to be found in the Japanese empire
any wish or thought other than to main
tain the most friendly and cordial rela-
tons with the republic Of the United
states and that any representations to
the contrary wherever emanating and
from whatever cause proceeding, are
baseless calumnies which, If uncontra-
dicted, can only result in vast material
losses to the people of bothSgovernments
and in creating an unhappy prejudice be-
tween them"
