Can the Growing of Sugar Beets Be Made
Profitable in Pennsylvania ?
To the popular mind all sugar comes
from sugar-cane, grown in Southern fields
under the same sunny skies and balmy air
as the cotton, hut so great is the miscon-
ception of the public as to the source of this
product that it might be interesting to look
into its manufacture and learn something
of the facts about sugar.
During the year 1896 there were 7,707,-
500 tons of sugar produced in the world.
Of this vast amount 4,960,000 tons were
made from sugar beets, while only 2,747,-
500 tons were crushed from sugar-cane.
Such figures will doubtless prove surprising
to a majority of the people who have paid
little or no attention to the source whence
comes our supply of sweets. The United
States consumes 500,000 tons more sugar,
annually, than any European country and
it has been this enormous consumption
that has led our sugar people to a study of
. the question looking to the production of
enough to supply the home market at least.
It became evident from the very first
that if sugar-cane was to be looked to for
the supply the undertaking would prove
hopeless and necessarily attention was di-
rected to the sugar beet, which is now pro-
ducing about 64 per cent. of the world’s
sugar supply, or for every pound of sugar
cane over 1.8 pounds are produced from the
sugar beet. Itis a noteworthy fact that
during the Cuban war the sugar exports
from that country have fallen off from
about one million tons to less than one-
tenth that amount, and yet there has been
no appreciable shortage in the world’s
supply of sugar, the sugar beet having been
able to make good the diminished pro-
duction of sugar from the sugar cane.
Very nearly all this enormous amount of
beet sugar is produced in the countries of
continental Europe. Of our own domestic
production of sugar, amounting to about
300,000 tons per annum, 84 per cent, is
produced from the sugar cane, 14 per cent,
from the sugar beet and 2 per cent. from
sorgum, maple and miscellaneous sources.
Beet sugar has been made in this country
in small amounts since 1830, but not until
1889 did the product exceed 2,000 tons per
annum. Since then there has been a steady
growth in the production, the estimates for
1896 being in the neighborhood of 40,000
tons, the product of seven factories, three
situated in California, .two in Nebraska,
one in New Mexico and one in Utah.
In considering the question of the do-
mestic production of sugar from the beet,
a sharp distinction must be made between
the two parts of the question. There are,
first, the production of the beets and sec-
ond, the manufacture of sugar from them.
The second portion of the problem has been
very thoroughly worked out in European
countries and is not a question at present
needing investigation in this country. The
technology of sugar manfacture has been
perfected by years of study and experience,
and is now very thoroughly understocd.
It is not an industry which can be car-
ried on by the small scale farmer himself, or
even in a small factory. The most reliable
estimates place the minimum size of a suc-
cessful beet sugar factory ata capacity of
300 tons of beets per day, and the cost of
such a factory is estimated at not less than
$200,000. The season during which sugar
can be manufactured is comparatively short,
being limited by the length of time during
which the beets car: be preserved, and to
secure an adequate return upon the capital
invested requires that the factory shall he
run to its full capacity during the season,
and that the best technical skill shall be
employed to direct its operations. The
-question for us now is whether we can
raise good sugar beets in sufficient quanti-
ty to supply a factory and at a cost which
will leave an adequate profit. The farmer
should confine his attention strictly to this
side of the question. When he can and
will produce the beets, capital will be forth-
-coming to manufacture the sugar, as has
been amply demonstrated in other states.
A bulletin recently issued by The Penn-
sylvania State College Experiment Station
reports the results upon sixty-nine experi-
ments carried on in Pennsylvania. Sugar
beets do grow best in north temperate lati--
tudes and it has recently dawned upon the
minds of the farmers of the State that if
they can cultivate them successfully the
new industry might afford an avenue of es-
cape from the unprofitable channels into
which farming in Pennsylvania has been
drifting during the last decade.
A number of individual experiments
have been reported in various parts of the
State, but none of them have quite satis-
fied the experimenters and it remained for
the experiment station to carrv on the
work in a way that would be of use to
the farmers of the State and systematically
report upon the results.
Of the sixty-nine varieties of sugar beets
experimented upon in twenty counties in
the State fifty-five (or 80 per cent.) showed
over 12 per cent. of sugar in the beet.
Thirty-four samples (or 49 per cent.)
showed a co-efficient of purity of over 80
per cent. Thirty-two out of the total num-
ber (or 46 per cent.) showed over 12 per
cent. of sugar and also over 80 per cent. of
purity. In view of the fact that practi-
cally all of the heets were raised by farm-
ers who had had no experience in the cul-
ture of this plant forsugar, the results must
be regarded as decidedly favorable so far as
the quality of the beets is concerned.
In forty cases out of the whole number
we have data regarding the average weight
of the beets. Of these forty samples, 12
(or 35 per cent.) weighed between .80
and 1.35 pounds; 18 (or 45 per cent.)
were below .80 pounds in weight and 8 (or
20 per cent.) were above 1.35 pounds.
It thus appears that, as a rule, the size of
the beets was rather small.
Thirty-four of the experimenters reported
the yield of beets. In most cases the yield
was calcnlated from that comparatively
small area, and in many cases there is evi-
dence that the results may be considerably
in error. Taking them as they stand, how-
ever, 10 (or 29 per cent.) reported a yield
of over 15 tons per acre ; 2 (or 6 per cent.)
a yield between 10 and 12 tons per acre,
and 17 (or 50 per cent.) a yield below 10
tons per acre. It thus appears that while,
as stated above, the general quality of the
beets was good, the yield was rather small.
As stated above, thirty-two of the sam-
ples showed more than 12 per cent. of sugar
and more than 80 per cent. of purity. Of
these 32 experiments, 7 (or 22 per cent.)
reported a yield of over ten tons per acre ;
4 (or 13 per cent.) a yield of between 8 to
10 tons per acre; 7 (or 22 per cent.) a
yield of less than 3 toas per acre, while 14
(or 44 per cent.) did not report the yield.
These figures confirm those given above in
showing that the yield was, asa whole
rather small.
The experiment are too few in number
to permit any reliable conclusions to be
drawn as to the influence of locality. So
far as the results show, good beets and poor
beets have been raised in all portions of the
State.
The first question presents itself to the
farmer is whether it will pay him to raise
sugar beets for sale to a factory. The ex-
periments here reported were made on a
small scale and afford no reliable data as to
the cost of raising a crop. The figures and
estimates as to the cost of raising beets
which are given by large growers in other
States are quite variable, ranging all the
way from $20 to $70 per acre. A conserv-
ative estimate, however, is from $30 to $40
per acre, although the cost will naturally
depend upon local conditions and espe-
cially upon the experience and intelligence
of the grower. The general experience in
other States has been that the second year’s
crop has been produced much more cheap-
ly than the first year’s.
The price paid for beets at the factory
depends chiefly upon the market price of
sugar and upon the richness of the beets,
but also upon local conditions. Assuming
four dollars as an approximate price for
this country, the profits of the grower will
depend largely upon the tonnage of good
beets which he is able to produce. Ten
tons per acre seems to be generally regard-
ed as a fair crop, although good land and
careful cultivation should produce twelve
to fifteen tons. According to those figures,
the total value of the crop at the factory
would range from $40 to $60 per acre.
To the above estimates is to be added
the feeding value of the diffusion residues,
or pulps, from the manufacture of sugar.
These constitute a palatable and nutritious
food for stock and in all beet-sugar grow-
ing countries the keeping of live stock is
regarded as an adjunct to the growing of
beets.
A beet sugar factory must necessarily
have a large territory tributary to it. The
best authorities estimate the mimimum ca-
pacity of a profitable sugar beet factory at
300 tons per day. In other words, such a
factory would eat up daily the product of
30 acres, producing 10 tons of beets per
acre. For a season of 70 days this is equiv-
alent to the product of 2,100 acres. This
means that to make a beet sugar factory a
success, there must be a large number of
skilled beet growers and that these must
be so located that the transportation of the
beets to the factory will not cost too
much. v
Evidently, then, if the farmers of any lo-
cality desire to secure the erection of a
beet sugar factory they must do two things :
1. They must learn to grow good sugar
beets. There is no difficulty in growing a
large crop of beets, but unless they are of
the requisite quality, sugar manufacture
cannot be carried on. A crop of heets con-
taining seven or eight per cent. of sugar,
however large, is of no more value to a
sugar factory than so many potatoes.
2 They must see whether their soil and
climate and conditions are adapted to the
profitable culture of the sugar beet.
Have a Veritable Zoo.
Ringling Bros., Wonderful Display of Birds and
Animals.
The superiority of Ringling Brothers’
world’s greatest shows over similar organi-
zations in the United States and Europe is
demonstrated in many ways, but in none
more effectively than in its zoological de-
partment. Many shows carry menageries,
but it has remained for Ringling brothers
to organize a complete zoological garden,
in which every beast of the jungle and
every fowl of the air is displayed with
proper classification and in a manner to
permit of careful study and comparison.
The arrangement of the mammoth mena-
gerie pavilion itself carries out the idea of
a huge traveling ‘“Zoo.”” In the centre
area are the led animals, including the
most superb display of big and little ele-
phants ever seen in this or any other coun-
try. This great triple herd of pachyderms
embraces twenty-five magnificent specimens
of the African and Asiatic elephant, all of
which have been carefully trained to per-
form many marvelous feats in which the
accuracy and memory of these animal per-
formers are put to a successful test. On
one side of the great ellipse is the aviary.
This is a notable departure in zoological
displays. It is not merely a conventional
display of the most familiar tropical birds,
but a complete exposition of ornithelogs,
in which almost every bird, from the hum-
ming-bird and macaw to the huge stork
and ostrich, is shown in its proper family
group. The bright plumage of the topieal
birds elicits endless expressions of admira-
tion, while the entire pavilion is filled with
the melody of these feathered songsters.
Probably fo exhibition ever given in
America has ever proved a greater attrac-
tion to the ladies and children among the
patrons of this great show. The aquarium
which is also a new and novel feature, is |
notable for its remarkable collection of
hippopotami, sea lions, seals, Polar bears
and other water-frequenting animals, and
the huge tanks in which they are displayed
are arranged in such a way, and with such
characteristic environments, that it is easy
to realize the conditions under which these
strange animals exist in their native state.
The children’s menagerie has been augment-
ed this year by a huge monkey den, fitted
up as a playground, witn a carroussel in
the center, upon which the simians ride
and gambol with delight to themselves and
unlimited amusement to those who wit-
ness their almost human antics. Interest
in the coming of this famous show to Belle-
fonte, Tuesday, May 10th, is universal,
and no small part of this interest has been
aroused by the encomiums tbat have been
fairly showered upon its unique zoological
display.
Gubernatorial Wages.
The Governor of New Jersey has been re-
ceiving a salary of $10,000 a year. The
Governors of New York and Pennsylvania,
besides the Governor of New Jersey, are
the only Governors who receive a salary as
large as that. The Legislature of New
Jersey believe that $10,000 is too much for
tneir Governor and have voted to reduce
the amount of $7,500. This does not seem
to be unreasonable cut in gubernatorial
wages, when the salaries of most Governors
are taken into consideration. With $7,500
a year the Governor of New Jersey will re-
ceive more than any of the Governors, with
the exception of those of New York, Penn-
sylvania, Ohio and Massachusetts, the
Governors of the latter two States receiving
$8,000 a year. The Governors of Illinois,
California and Nevada receive $6,000 a
Year; those of Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky,
Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Virginia
and Wisconsin $5,000 year ; while those of
Oregon and Vermont inust make $1,500
answer.

Possibly a few trees in the Old
World are more profitable than the Eng-
lish walnut, which thrives in England and
all over the northern part of the continent
of Europe. The wood is especially useful
for gunstocks, and for many articles of
furniture, and is found profitable from
trees of ten years of age and upwards.
There is always good demand for the nuts,
so that there are two distinct lines of profit
—by the timber and by the fruit. In our
country they thrive in any portion of the
Eastern States ; although, as they progress
northwardly, the tips of last year’s shoots
are destroyed by winter. The living por-
tions push out again, however, and general-
ly bear as abundantly as before. In the
vicinity of Philadelphia there are numerous
trees, planted by the early settlers, which
bear every year. Single or isolated trees
sometimes fail to bear fruit, on account of
the pollen-bearing flower maturing and
scattering pollen before the nut-bearing
flower is in condition to receive it ; and
for this reason crops are more assured when
a number of trees are planted together. In
this way some of the pollen bearing catkins
are conditional as to be in bloom before
the time that the nut bearing flowers make
their appearance. In all this there is a
suggestion for many. We would make fu-
ture generations rich by utilizing our waste
places in planting them with walnut trees.
We have hills denuded of their forests.
The soil cannot be tilled on account of
rocks. Out of the chestnut or oak springs
a thicket of no value, save as a lair for the
fox or a scanty hrowsing place for the old
field cow. All such spots could be made
valuable and beautiful by the planting of
walnut trees. In twenty yearsa tree of
this kind is fit for the market, and we learn
the price of good walnut is $60 to $70 per
thousand.

A SCHOOL GIRL’S NERVES.
It is important that the nerves are carefully
guarded. Mothers who have young daughters of
school age should watch their health more care-
fuily than their studies.
The proper development of their bodies is of
first importance.
After the confinement of the school room, plenty
of out-door exercise should be taken. It is better
that children never learn their a, b, ¢’s, than that
by over-study they lose their health.
All this is self-evident. Everyone admits it—
everyone knows it, but everyone does not know
how to build the health up when once broken
down, even the best physicians failing at times.
The following method of Mrs. Stephen Barnes,
whose post office address is Burney, Ind.,if right-
ly applied, may save your daughter.
When her daughter Lucy was at that critical
girlhood age of twelve years she grew weak and
nervous.
“Previously she had been a bright, healthy
young girl,” says Mrs. Barnes, “She was diligent
and progressive in her studies.
“It became necessary, however, for her to leave
school.
‘She was overtaxed mentally and physically.
‘Her nerves were at such a tension that the
least noise irritated her.
‘She had continual twitching in the arms and
lower limbs and symptoms of St. Vitus’ dance.
“Her blood was out of order she was thin and
pale, almost lifeless. In three months she lost
twenty-three ponuds.

A Truthful
“We did everything possible for her, and she
had the best of medical treatment.
“Several skilled physicians attended her, but no
benefit was apparent.
“A family friend visiting us, told how her
daughter had been similarly affected, but cured
by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People.
‘She urged us to try tae pills, and we finally
consented. .
“We have always rejoiced that we did.
“The pills helped Lucy at once, and after tak-
ing eight boxes she was entirely cured.
“She is now in perfect health, strong, weighs
; ten pounds more than ever before, and her cheeks
are full of color.
“Two years of schooling were missed on ac-
count of ill health, but now she can gratify her
ambition to study and become an educated wo
man.”
The reason that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People were helped in the above case, is that
they are composed of vegetable remedies which
act directly on the impure blood, the foundation
of disease.
As the blood rushes through all parts of the
body, the conveyer of good or bad health, it is
necessary that it should be pure, rich and red.
Dr. Williams® Pink Pills build up the blood by
supplying its life giving elements which nourishes
the various organs, stimulating them to activity
inthe performance of their functions and thus
drives disease from the system.
The pills are in universal demand and sold by
