Show SUGAR nUKING To the Fanners of Utah I am aware that for some time past a considerable interest has been felt especially amcngst the farmers in the developments made in the manufacture of sugar in this Territory Terri-tory and therefore I have asked the privilege of the publication of a card on that subject There are so many person s who were and are now ready to predict that bath soil and climate In this Territory ere inimical to the production pro-duction cf sugar in paying quantities quanti-ties that the success wnich has attended experiments in that line Is received with mu h doubting doubt-ing consequently more than an ordinary decree of OAm onstration and certainty is i required before credence will be yielJeJ and the assistance nec s ary for the firm establishment of the industry will be given I do Dot write tuis to enter into a diss rtation on the subject sub-ject but to express nay entire confidence confi-dence in the practicability of the enterprise experiments have taught me that the elements here are snfficienty favorable to render this industry not only perfectly safe and reliable but one of the most profitable in the Territory of Utah It would be perhaps a sufficient benefit ben-efit to the Territory to furnish employment em-ployment for a thousand men and to save for circulation a million mil-lion dollars a year which now is paid out for sugar though there were HO profit besides these in the manufacture But not only can these desirable objects be accomplished ac-complished but in addition thereto from 23 to 25 per cent of this large amount can be real zed as clear profit when the enterprise is firmly established I am told that some of you are paying a bushel of wheat for tour pounds of sugar You wise probaby twenty bushels of wheat on an acre thus an average acre of wheatl after you have paid all expenses ot harvesting threshing and marketing market-ing represents eighty pounds of sugar now I have actually with quite crude and imperfect machinery machin-ery produced from one acre of cane 700 pounds of sugar and 112 gallon of molasses which molasses if treated with sufficient and suitable machinery could have been made to produce another 700 pounds of sugar thus making 1400 pounds of sugar to the acre of cane Every ton of good stripped and topped ripe cane can be made to pr duce 100 pound of good sugar and five or six gallons of very fair molasses besides I have made my experiments very thorough and extensive so that the results can be depended upon implicitly im-plicitly and although to the casual and uninterested reader there may not appear much in my report o f them you farmers who get only one crop in a whole year and take a whole i ear to get one cropcan realize real-ize how much depends upon a correct cor-rect understanding of the matters set for th therein for it is certainly as Important to know what yon cannot can-not do as to know what you can do The points set forth in that paper have cost much time and money to ascertain and there is now no reason I rea-son why anybody with that report before them should lose either time or money on those items and I think it contains all the points necessary to be understood in raising the crop Any persoalooklng at the almost total absence of economy m the present rash policy of the people of the Territory can eatily foresee that no true and permanent prosperity lies at our door We are employing thousands of men to manufa ture for us abroad while we have large numbers of idle or only partly employed em-ployed men at home our imports are vastly in excess of our exports and our home manufactures are but a trifle compared with our consump f1ivi yavr I am through lack of means temporarily tem-porarily unable to continue my efforts ef-forts in establishing the industry but I shall be pleased to answerany questions and give any information or assistance in my power to any persons or parties who may desire nch and so great is my confidence in the industry that as soon as I recuperate re-cuperate I shall prosecute my labors until I see at lead one factory turning out ten thousand bags of sugar per annum I know it is not only practicable but aso profitable whoa sufficient money is invested to procure the necessary plant You shall hear from me again ABTHUB STAYNEB Farmington March 27 188t |
