South DakOta's First Sugar
minneapolis JournaD

The first sack Of South Dakota made sugar
has been sold at public auction for thousand
dollars. If beet sugar, within the next decade
or two, comes to figure as Importantly in the
fortunes of South Dakota as it now figures in
the fortunes Of some of South Dakota's neigh
bors, then the sken bag will be worth many
times thousand dollars as souvenir SYM
bolic of maj or stepping stone in the states
progress.
South Dakota's neighbour, Nebraska, produces
every year more than hundred thousand tons
Of sugar-not beets, but sugar. Another neigh
Dor, Colorado, produces nearly four hundred
thousand tons. Whereas the average for the
country is little more than one ton of sugar for
each acre of beets, Nebraska and Colorado each
get more than a ton and half per acre. What
can be done in western Nebraska and eastern
Colorado, can be done in western South Dakota
Judged by government production statistics,
the strip of land that flanks the western slope
of the Rockies all the way from the Dakotas
down to the tip of the Texas Panhandle can be
made to yield more sugar per acre than beet
land anywhere else in North America, small
area in California alone excepted.
Inauguration of sugar manufacturing at
to beet culture in western South Dakota. Beets
are bulky. Seven or eight tons are required
for conversion into single ton OF sugar.
Hence, manufacturing must be conducted close
to the beet fields, for long transportation of
the bulky raw material eats up too much Of
the growers revenue.
But, with manufacture close at hand, beet
culture pays, and the prospects are bright that
it will pay more in the immediate future. For
the Cuban government just now is setting out
to enforce drastic compulsory reduction Of
cane sugar production to force higher price
level, and beet sugar, of course, will go up
with cane.
