Sugar Beets and Beet Sugar.

Though sugar can be extracted from many plnnts, the world’s supply of sugar comes at present from only two plant species—sugar cane and sugar beets—and It comes about equally from each. The former Is grown only In tropical or subtropical climates, the latter only In temperate climates. The great bulk of the beet sugar consumed is made In European countries. Germany, Russia, Austrla-Hun-*ary and France being the leading producers. But In recent years the young and rapidly growing beet sugar Industry of the United States has come Into prominence. There are now ■lxty-four active beet sugar factories In this country, located in sixteen different states. Last year the farmers ©f these states harvested about 365,000 acres of beets and delivered to the factories 8,415,000 tons of beets. Frets these nearly 426,000 tons of refine* angar were made. The yield of sofa* per acre of beets was 2.834 pounds.
