who desired TO purchase could obtain
from FIVE to 100 pounds. There is such
a clamor for the sugar that those in charge
of distributing 1T are kept busy from

Practically 10000 pounds have been

Ii is stated that the reason for the large
surplus this year is due to the fact that the
crop of berries in the central part of Sussex
was not as large as the firm anticipated
and therefore they did not have occasion
to use up the supply.

 How much net profit the can-groweI reaps at 1920 prces is hard to estimate but that it is large will appear when ths methods of cane-growing are stated.

 Think of the profits that the Ameri- 1can farmer would make out of corn i he could get ten. crops from one plant ing, and did not have to blow nine oi them at all to keep down the weeds!
 Another item in the low cost of pro ducing sugar is the cheapness of the mo. tive power The cane is hauled in OK. carts.
