A hundred millions of dollar a yenr isa good deal to send out or the coutry for sugar, but It must go aud continue to go until we prortuce pnnu?h to meet the home demand for consumption. As the cane.growing area cannot be much expanded, and the area for the profitable growing of the cane being comparatively small, the main reliance for supplying the home de mand must be on the sugar beet, the cultivation and manufacture or which arei progressing at a fair. rate of speed. I It is hoped and predicted ty some that the day is not far dis tant when we will produce not only enough for hnme consumption, but some for export. Beet culture requires labor and at tention, and the cost of labor in this country compared with European beet-growing countries Is one of the obstacles against which our beet growers and sugar manufacturers ave to contend, but the greater use of machinery In this country, mak- ng practicable " the cultivation of larger tracts, may more than offset the lower wage9 paidd on the other side; but whether this be so or not. the. prices paid for beets by the man ufacturers Kive the growers profit enough to encourage the cultivation on a large scale. The growth of this industry in Cal ifornia, Nebraska, Michigan ana other States gives prof that the manufacturers have confidence in their ability to compete with foreign producers, and to do so permanent ly. California will Jthis y ttr turn out 45,000 tons of sugar, while Mich- icmn. uhpra the manufacture of fc I . . sugar was recently begun, has nine factories, which will turn out 31,000 tons, coming 'second to California. There will about fourteen more wc- tnrtfxa in oueration this year, . to which several more will be add-d next year, making about twent-five in all. and covering tetritory reach in from Vinrinla to California. With the success of these others will n..n follow in sections adapted to the cultureof the beet which aneets the lequlremeots. Wilmington Star. ' Tbay Enter Llr. F. U.
