SUGAR BEETS IN CAROLINA

Campaign on to Make Old North State
Sugar Producer on

have been under way for some months
In the high mountain counties OF

counties beets with large sugar con-
tent can be produced To 200 OF these
farmers sugar beet seed have been dis
tributcd and have been carefully plant
ed. The planters show much interest
and have pledged their aid in the move
mcnt. which ia primarily designed to
aid In relieving the present sugar short
age.
Not only Is the sugar beet valuable
as sugar producer. but II also yields
an excellent syrup for household use.
the process of manufacture being cx-
,remely simple and the only equipment
necessary being found In almost every
home on a farm. So the beet thus
serves a double purpose. Mr.. NJ. W.
llcnsel an expert in the sugar beet in
dustry. is now In the mountain zone
referred to. having been specially de :.
tailed for this work in North Carolina
by the United states Bureau of Plant
Industry.
Mr.. lcnsel also proposes to carry on
II campaign to largely increase North
Cardinals acreage in sorghum cane
He will give demonstrations TO show
farmers how to get the greatest ana
tho best grades Of syrup from sorghum
cane and also from sugar bsets. Sor-
rhum can he grown practically every
where in tho state, while the sugar
beet area is limited to the high noun
tain district.

Try. That Richmond manufacturer
and merchants, as we'll as those OF

in trading with Brazil. II should be
kept in mind that the port of lara.
in tho north. is some 1880 miics from
the port of Rio Crande do Sui that
+he IS ,ooc. 900 inhabitants OF Brazil are
grouped about tho various scaports.
and that communication between tho
different sections is principally by wa
ter. under coastwise navigation laws
similar to those nf the United states.
More over. the cost Of this system Of
communication has become SO high
that II Is decidedly more advantageous
for each section to import direct. This
advantage in favor of direct inporia-
ton means that the shipper abroad cam
rot consider that he has a connection
established with tho whole country
when he has m agent or customer in
ono part only. but that n" should IN
deavor to obtain agents in each OF the
principal distributing points
The Federal capital. Rio &C janciro.
has tho largest import movement. and
its mercantile houses extend their sales
throughout the whole country in the
distribution Of domestic produce aud
manufacture. and this distributor car
ries with IL certain amount of inn
ported goods. II is, OF course, under
stood that every foreign shipper Will
establish trade connections there II
nowhere else. The second largest port
OF entry is Santos which IS the mari
time gateway for the inland city Of
