BEET SUGAR grown IN j. 5, El4
PER CENT Of What country EATS

A review Of the history OF beet
sugar making IN the United States has
been made by the Federal Trade Com
mission to the Tariff Commission. A
digest Of II Is printed in Bradstreet's
of June 2, as follows:
While the history Of beet sugar
making in the United States goes back
to 1870, when there were three fac
tories at work, the real progress in
the industry dates from 1897, accord
ing TO a report made by the Federal
Trade Commission to the Tariff Com
mission. In the latter year there
were only nine factories in operation,
but by 1914, to which year the report
comes down, there were IS factories,
while the factory output had grown
from $4,000 tons In 1897 to 100000
tons II years later. In the latter
year the beet sugar industry contrib
uted about l6 per cent of the 4,300, 900
tons of sugar consumed in the United
States, and while there were four
principal centers Of production, Mich
igan and northern Ohio, Colorado,
northern Utah and southern Idaho and
California and IL other states contrib
uted TO the total production, there
were 10 states that had. only one fac

tory each. and California and Colo
RADIO produced more than SO per cen;
Of the total production OF the country.
Cost 1914 Per Hundred
The report further shows that the
average cost for 81 factories produc-
ing So per cent Of all the beet sugar
in the United States during the five
years ending with the season 1894
was 1914 per 100 pounds, including
depreciation, which for these factories
averaged Is cents.
With respect to earnings. the re-
port covers 81 companies operating
- factories that produced nearly SO
per cent OF all the beet sugar manu-
featured in the United States during
the five years ending with the season
1884. During this period these con-
panies carried in the sugar manufac-
turing business an average of IL per
cent on the capital employed therein.
The average earnings OF all the
companies by years ranged from Is
per cent IN 190910 to 3 per cent in
1884. In no other year except 1913
IA were the average earnings so low
as IL per cent. The extremely low
earnings in the year 1884 were due
TO the unusually low prices OF sugar

SUGAR CROP Of
l9l7FAR AHEAD
OF NORMAL YEAR

That the 1917 sugar crop Of Hawaii
will closely approach the record
breaking year of 1915 and be many
thousand tons ahead of other normal
years, now seems assured, according
to figures given out by the Sugar
Factors Company.
The revised and corrected figures
to date place the crop at 643,620 tons
or 1875 less than the 1915 crop. This
is 45,3S7 tons more than was produced
last year and S0,947 more than the
average for the past ten years.
These figures are based as Of May
from the reports Of the managers
Of the SO plantations on the islands
and point to the early estimation Of
the manager being equalled If not ex-
ceeded.

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY
IS GROWING IN UTAH

According to BIadstreet's Of June 2,
its Salt Lake correspondent points out
that q number of beet sugar factories
have been and are being erected in
the intermountain country. The fac
tories usually are located In a district
suitable for irrigation, and the manu-
facturers cooperate with the growers
Of sugar beets. The growers get their
seed at cost, and in turn they contract
to sell their crops to the factories on
profitable terms. Thus the factories
are assured of their raw material. The
industry Is in a very flourishing coz
6iticn, and the growing Of sugar beets
is one Of the greatest crops in the in
termountain territory.

Take an attack, the Frenchman goes forward over the parapet shouting 'Vivi Ia France or other patriotic cries. The British sol- dier's watchword is, ns he fixes his bayonet and goes forward, this way to the early door, six pence extra A French ship will sink with the band playing the Marsellaise, while on a British ship in similar plight the men will line up on deck and go to their death singing 'Tipperary, Say Good by to Leicester Square But these men understanding each other.

WAR SHIPPING
 PROBLEMS BEING SOL WE'D RAPIDLY

Washington May 1-Members of
 the British and French war commits sions will take up shipping problems
 with the shipping board immediately,
 it was said today. It is believed the commissions will work out with the
 American government some definite plan of appointment of cargoes among the Allies so that each will be assured d
 of sufficient supplies. IA balance, too, will have to be arranged for the classes of supplies sent abroad that food and n1unitiors may be furnished in proper proportion.
 The administration within a few days will have introduced in congress legislation to give the president and the shipping board a firmer grasp of the nations shipping, so that cargoes may be directed best to serve the country's interests
 The United States faces the task of feeding the world, and through the shipping bill and the export embargo bill pending in congress the govern
 ment will be ir position to determine the amount of exports and the direc- tion they shall take.
 The shipping boards wooden ship building campaign continues to meet tSIiNouA d5iiiS response tnrOuSnOut the country, it was said today. Construc-
 ton area'dy is starting in many yards
 hnd many new yards will be built To
 stimulate steel ship building the board will let contracts for steel construc- 1 ton as well as for wood, chartering
 the ships to private business concerns ] for service in transporting supplies to
 Europe.
 l The country vii complete its first
 wooden ships in about six months.
 After that they vii be turned out with
 every increasing rapidity and the hope
 of the administration is that they may be built fast enough to overcome the German undersea warfare.
