content. In that year the management
of newly erected factory in Califor-
MIA, learning that some of its contract

issued printed notice advising farm
ers that irrigated beets would not be

While steam gas and distillate en-

IN ne way comparable to the saving
brought about by the use Of electric
motors. Ia the arid regions, where "A
large amount Of water is required, il is
often necessary TO operate twenty-foUr

in many eases six months. The engine
driven plants require an operator TO
be in practically constant attendance,
while in the case of the motord driven
plant casual inspection every two or
three days will be sufficient.
Electricity In Factory.
Electricity also has another use in
the sugar industry. In addition to
proving big saving to the farmer, it
can be applied probably more extern
sively to the factory. The ideal sought
in any industry is high percentage Of
net profit on the total investment. Ap-
piled to the beet sugar industry this
means the factory should be made to
yield the maximum amount of sugar
at the minimum expense for labor, fuel,
maintenance and repairs. and electrifi-
cation seems to have solved the problem.
The General Electric company has
long been identified with the electrifi-
cations of both beet and cane sugar
mills and today majority of the large
factories have substituted electricity
for steam and other power. Practically
all new mills being built are electrically
driven.

The intermittent scarcity of sugar felt
throughout the country the last year or
two, and doubts which have been ex
pressed regarding the future supply and
its possible price to the consumer, have
made this highly essential living COM
modify one of the most discussed topics
of the day.
In 1914. before the war, the United
States produced about 30 per cent of its
sugar consumed at home, 20 per cent
came from its territories and the remain
ing 60 per cent was imported from Cuba.
But when hostilities started in Europe,
England was cut off from IFS supply
which had come from Germany. Austria
and Russia. and began competitive bid
ding for Cubas supply. Seeing danger
iii prices soaring to unprecedented
heights with two countries like England
and the United States bidding for an
article, arrangements were made hy this
government whereby the entire supply
was awarded the United States. In turn
the United States shared this supply
win England.
Share Sugar With England.
Although the var board surrendered
control of the sugar supply early in the
year. this country is still sharing its su-
gar with England and it is principally
because Of this. that sugar is still scarce
here. England cannot be supplied from
the same source a. before the war be-
cnuse Of devastated conditions and con
sequently the best means to overcome
the scarcity, resulting in tine present
high prices, is to increase the prcduc-
ton at home. At present the United
States produces but one-haf the sugar
il consumes.
Great Britain which produces no su-
gar, consumes the most. Its per capita
consumption is 9G pounds. United States
is second with 50 pounds, Germany is

of Marggraf, and after the death of his
teacher in 1882, be devoted all his at
tention to perfecting methods for the
extraction of sugar by this means. After
Is years of study he announced his
method and offered samples of sugar to
the Institute Of France His statements
brought forth considerable ridicule, but
the institute was sufficiently aroused to
appoint q commission of nine leading
French scientists to investigate the mat

ably after about a years research.
Attempted Bribe Failed.
In the meantime the producers of cane
sugar had become so alarmed over this
discovery, which they feared spelled ruin
for them, that a society of sugar cane
growers III England offered Achard S3o,-
ONO if he would abandon his work and
proclaim to the world his ventures had
not been success. Two years later
this reward was boosted to $4,000 and
again refused Then an attempt was
made to destroy interest in beet sugar
through Sir Humphrey Devy, q celebrat
ed English chemist, who declared that
while sugar could be obtained from beets,
It was too sour for food.
Achard secured the financial assistance
from Frederick the Great, but after his
death the work was somewhat interrupt
ed until his successor, Frederick William
III. came to the rescue. Through the
aid Of the latter the first beet sugar fac
tory in the world was built near Steinau,
Silesia, in 1901. The next year fac
tory was built near Paris for expert
mental purposes.
The establishment of the beet sugar
industry on a paying basis really came
as an incident In the wars of Napoleon.
AS a measure against England he estab-
lished blockade in 1906 in which mer-
chandise from England or any of her col
onies was not allowed on the continent.
This cut off the chief source of sugar.
In 1906 the French government offered
n bounty on beet sugar, but it was not
until 1911, near Lille, that the first COM

more profltably than any other crop
They should not be grown on the same

The use Of sugar as an important food
is confined to modern times formerly
it was known only as a medicine sold BY
apothecaries. In ancient times honey
was the chief source of sweet This
was supplemented by sweet fruits and
syrups, but no refined sugar was ex-
tracted from any source to be used as
ordinary food
Early Days of Sugar
It is not certain whether the first SUI
gar was obtained from sugar cane or
from bamboo, which belongs to the same
family. The first sugar mill in Cuba
was built in 1547 and sugar making was
brought to Louisiana in 1751 BY the
Jesuit fathers. After % years it was
abandoned and was not tried again until
1871. When sugar first became an ar
ticle of commerce, its high price prevent
ed its general use. AS late as 1882 it
sold for as much as $275 hundred
pounds on the London market
The first use of beets as a cultivated
crop is not known. Oliver De Series, In
1890. seems to have been the first to re-
cord the sweet properties of the beet
He said that ''the juice yielded on boil
ing is similar to sugar syrup" He be-
lieyed that alcohol could be made from
fermenting the beet. The red beet was
introduced into England in 1913 but the
white variety was unknown there until
1870.
Although De Series had suggested the
sweet properties of beets he did not OBJ
tain pure sugar from them. 1t was left
to Andrew S. Marggraf, scientist, first
to obtain sugar from the beet. This
was accomplished in 1747 but it was a
half century before this discovery was
put tb any practical use.
Karl Franz Achard, son of a French
refugee in Prussia, was the first to ex-
Great Falls daily tribune., 1920-12-12

Sugar cane was the source Of all sugar
until about 1900, when it was discovered
that the juice from bcets could be used
Today the beet sugar industry stands
firmly established. Before the war its
production was practically on par with
cane sugar. The fighting in Europe
caused Germany. Austria and Russia to
devote their land to the raising Of nee
essary foodstuffs, and sugar beet grow
ing dropped while the cane sugar indus
try increased, 50 that IN 1916 it was
practically double that of beet sugar.
Now the sugar beet is coming back and
there is every reason to predict that
within q year or two they will be on an
equal basis again. If the farmers can
be made to realize the Importance and
profit in raising beets on their land,
perhaps this industry will even exceed
the sugar cane production.
Growth of Industry.
The beet sugar industry has grown
in century from nothing to its present
proportions 1t is a significant example
of the application of science to the needs
Of mankind. With the demand for SUI
gar exceeding the supply and increasing
faster than could be satisfied from other
sources, new and better methods OF Sc
curing sugar were sought.
When the industry first began beets,
low in sugar, were the only kind obtain
able and even this little sugar had to be
extracted by imperfect processes. But
as time went on the beets have been i'm
proved and new processes perfected un-
til at present they have been cultivated
to be ten times as productive and dou-
BILE the extraction of a hundred years
ago.
Late statistics from the department of
agriculture show there are in the United
States 274O0O,000 acres, the soil and
climate of which are adapted to sugar
beet culture. If but fraction of one
per cent of this area were planted with
sugar beets it would furnish all the su-
gar we now consume.
