FIELD FOR {THE FAR- MERS. : The People ot the United 800,000 tons and import in the beet sugar countries six pounds or more ef sugar for every pound we produce. Whatis more, the cane sugar production of the Tnited States cannot be greatly extended owing to the fact that about all the cane sugar produc ing territory is now under cnulti- yation. Even if we possessed Cuba, we should stili have to buy as the largest crop yet produced in that island did net exceed 1,- 100,000 tons. We should need apother Cuba at this rate to sup~ ply our wants unless we could wake two canes grow Where one grows now. If we wouildturn our attention to the production of beet sugat we have the soil and climate to supply all our own needs in this the world’s production of beet su- more than ove million of tons, but while the United States pro- duced, in 1895, 290,000 tons of cane sugar, only 30,000 tons of beet sugar were produced. The cane sugar area of the country is fuliy occupied,but the been sugar area has scarcely been entered upon atall, The 4,239,000 tone of beet sugar produced in 1895 were grown. in Germany, Austria, France, Russia, Belgium, Hol-- land and Sweeden and a few smaller European countries, and yet in none of these are the con- ditions of sail and climate for su- gar beet eulture superior to those to be found over a large area of the United States. Here is a field for the farmers wheat and corn than they could million tons annually, and urtil : their market at their own doors. At the low price of two cents per or forty dollars a ton, this ae susie p eighty millions of ne that are now sent occupy thie field and thus ad most valuable and extensive arti- cle of agricultural production to those we now have. grown in 1895, while a relatively small amount compared with the product of Germany and the oth- er sugar-growing “countries, is sufficientto constitute a guarantee of successful sugar culture when the farmers of the country once turn their attention to the caltiva- tion of this staple. There are now three beet sugar factories in Jalifornia, one in Utah, two iu Nebraska, one in New Mexico, a emall one in Virginia and one just established in Wisconsin. Within this belt extending from the At- lavtic to the Pacific beet culture is ‘possible, and when the nine fac- tories now in operation have been increased in number tu twice the 402 factories vow in opera- tion in Germany, the greatest beet sugar country in the world, we shall only have reached the capacity of supplying our OwD wants in sugar. There should be as much en- terprise, ingenuity avd science among the farmers of the United States as among those of any country in the world, and attention is called to this industry a8 one capable of deffinite expansion. Give beet sugar an exhaustive trial. It will help to kecure higher prices for corn and wheas, besides making us independent of other countries for our sugar supply. ~—— pemeneetiseeennateaesrsninnsusnesnastneratossssee cad Are Ali Safes Unsafe. Under the above caption the Chicago Tribune tells some in- teresting facts showing thas the mechanical ingenuity of man cannot cope with thesafe cracker. One Samuel Rodman, Jr, who formerly belonged to the United States Engineering Department, but receutly is an sxperb 10 high explosives, has been chosen t9 test the power of varions manu- factures of safes and has proven to be superior to any ono yet presented. He needs few im ple- ments, and 1f he should choose to lay aside his useful aud honest occupation there is probably not a vault in the land that he could not releive of its contents in from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Nor is Mr. Rodman alone, professiona crackers are up to the tricks. It is now stated that any elec- trical expert with a wire to con- nect with an electric line can, with a stick of carbon, bura through any safe in 30 minutes and empty it of its contents. The time 1s fast approachivg when the vigilant eye of an hon- est man will probably be the only safeguard. It is now the chief dependence of safety for the na- tional vaults.
