the poor beets in wastefully con-
Quoted factories brings the cost of

3.45 cents per pound. The lands
untitled for beets could better be
devoted to other agricultural pro-
duce and it would seem to be wise
governmental policy not to encour-
age exotic beet growing. A class
Of beet growers comparable to the
Louisiana cane growers will be
nursed into activity to vex the Con-
gress every year with demands that
taxes may continue or increase that
exotic beets may live. But, even
if it be conceded that all beet sugar
factories, good, bad and Indifferent,
and all farmers producing sugar
beets from lands fit and unfit for
their culture must be protected, a
proposition which we vehemently
deny, full duty of sixty cents per
100 pounds Of raw sugar SO deg.

differential of twenty per cent, MAX
ing Cuban sugars pay .48 cents per
the American people one cent per

sit is we'll known in the trade
that, where factories are properly
located and thoroughly equipped,
there should be no difficulty in pro-
ducing beet sugar at &c. per pound
(see Hardwick Hearings) and the
Beet men themselves boast of this,
when seeking financial assistance.
Taking their own figures of the
cost Of producing and selling in
good, bad and Indifferent factories,
their evidence before the Hard

average cost was only 3.54c per lb.

F. O. LIGHT, recognized the world
over as the leading statfstician Of
Europe in these matters, gives the

This is not the whole story. The
beet growers Of Europe are fur
nished with their beet seed free of
charge In the United States the
factory imports the beet seed from
Europe and sells it to the farmer.
In Europe the farmer gets 40 to SO
per cent. of the pulp returned to
him without charge. In the United
States the pulp is sold by the fac
tory to the farmer. The selfshness
of the beet sugar factory owner and
his disregard of the welfare Of the
farmer is further easily shown. The
factories buy the sugar in the beets.
When they buy the ton Of beets they
buy the sugar content and pay on
the basis of the sugar content.
''When they pay the farmer:
$3.50 per ton for IL per cent
Beets containing 24O lbs. sugar they
pay the farmer for the sugar that is
in the beets at the rate OF 1870. per

that is in those beets at the rate Of

$50 per ton for 10 per cent. Beets
containing $50 lbs of sugar they
pay the farmer for the sugar that is
in those beets at the rate Of 1900.
per lb.
"When they pay $3.50 for 1S per
cent. beets they are actually paying
less for the sugar in the beets
(Which is what they are buying),
than if they paid $3.50 for IL per
cent. beets, or $3.50 for Is per cent.
beets. It is clear that the reverse
should be true because of the
greater value to the factory of the
highest test beets.
eff the factories were honest with
the farmer and paid for the 8 per
cent. beets (Which area Of greater
value because they are easier to
work., the same basis as on the
lower test they would pay 1913 per
ton instead of $3.50 per ton.
'Jn this way the factories take
