Box Elder Sugar Shown
Local Citizen receives Cake OF Turtle
Mountain Product.

Rev. Clarence ID. Locklin. 1910 uni
versity avenue has received a cake OF
sugar made Of box elder. from J.: W.
Wilson at Turtle Mountain. Rolette
county, and is convinced that the
sugar does not taste very different
from that which is made of beets and
otherwise. e
Mr.. Locklin is>of the impression
that the box elder sugar industry
may be further developed and that it
may point. to a solution of the sugar
problems which just now are bcset-
ting the food administration of the
nation and state.
The taste 'is that Of ordinary sugar,
perhaps slightly sweeter with a trace
Of woportionally much saccharine in
its ingredients. No experiment as to
its properties in practical ~housekeep-
ing have been made in this city yet
at least, none has been reported.
