them Iamb-like dispositions. He walked

Beet Industry in Canada


There are only three beetsugar fac
tories in Canada. Two of these are
in the southern part Of Ontario, be-
ing located at Wallaceburg and Ber-
lin, and the third at Alberta While
the beets yield z to 10 tons per acre
and ordinarily bring S. per ton. never
theless the factories experience diff
Guilty in inducing farmers to raise
enough beets to maintain their fac
tories, In fact, one factory publicly
announced that unless the farming
community became more active in
this direction the factory would have
to move elsewhere. The indifference
OF the farmers Is largely due to the
fact that q. large patch of beets en-
tails large amount of labor, and
workers are exceedingly scarce. Be
sides, the work is of such q character
as to be distasteful to the average
iaborer.
During the season of 1913 the On.
tario district contained IL, 400 acres In
beets. The product Of $500 acres
was sold and shipped to sugar fac
tories In the state of Michigan. Those
going to Michigan were sold on a fat
basis of $3.50 per ton at way stations,
plus seed and possibly some minor as
sistance. Those going to the home
factories were sold according to test,
making the average price at Wallace.
burg $5.79, and at Berlin $500, deiiy-
cred. The average tests at these two
places were 15.9 and ia, respective
ly The Wallaceburg factory is the
only one importing raw sugar, prin.
cipally from Germany. and is there
fore In position to retain! a portion
of its employees the year round.
The factory at Raymond, Alberta,
had about 1000 acres in beets, produc-
ing lila tons. The test was slightly
above Is, and average price paid per
ton SIS. The report from that section
is to the effect that the farmers in
tend increasing their acreage next
season.
According to the report of the Blu.
reau of Census and Statistics for De-
eember. 1913, the total quantity Of
raw sugar manufactured in 1913 from
Canadian-grown beets was 27,2S2, ia
pounds. And according to Bulletin /
of the Canadian census Of 1911, there
were in 1910 eight sugar refineries In
the Dominion, showing the value of
their products for that year to have
been $21, 2S0,011. This includes the
product Of the three beet-sugar fac
tories above mentioned. The same
bulletin indicates that at that time
there was invested in Canadian su.
gar refineries s19.720,3S having 10
employees on salaries receiving $685..
94S. and 1894 employees on wages re,
ceiving $1,0S4,615.
