Show WHAT BEET SUGAR MEANS. The beet sugar and candy industries indus-tries are among the great employers of labor in the west. The beet sugar industry has prevented a sugar famine fam-ine in this nation. England seems to prefer beet sugar sug-ar for candy manufacture. There is every reason at the present time to further develop and secure our beet sugar industry. There is a shortage of sugar all over the world which will require increased in-creased production. Consumption per capita has been increasing at a rapid rate. Candy and soft drinks are being produced as never before and candy has become a necessary article of diet. The beet pulp is needed for cattle food.. Farming has been greatly benefited benefit-ed by the sugar beet industry which has made it possible to get big returns re-turns from small acreage. The farmer farm-er must study how to increase tonnage ton-nage per acre, thereby raising his profits. Failure to encourage and increase the beet sugar industry at this time will be a national mistake for cheap sugar and numerous industries hinge on the success of the beet sugar industry. |
