The beet crop is turring out remarkably remark-ably flno this year and gives promise o being the heavies', of any aer.son yet. We hsro just receivud a samplo of this year's sugar. It is fully up to tho standard nnd as lino as can bo produced anywhere in tlie world. Work at the factory progresses very smoothly. Mott all the old hands nro in their accustomed places, nnd all working hard to improve on an already splendid record Tho Chilio Champion gays: "licet harvest Is progressing very satisfactorily, the haul being quite regular und Hteady. for tlie week ending last night there were 4180 tons delivered from the Chlno fields, making the total to datvof 22,001 tons. There lmvejbeen 8000 tons received from Anaheim, making the total receipts, gross, to date, 30,044 tons. Tare and beets in .the sheds will bring tlie tornage sliced dowi. to about 27,000 tons. Iho Nebraska beet sugar association 1 lias adopted a very good Idea of calling a j public meeting at Grand Island on Nov-1 17 and 18, for tho purpose of considering ways biuI means whereby tho products of the largely increased acreage of beets may be best made into sugar and its further development rapidly promoted a well arranged and instructive program will be presented. Cuba, which liss succeeded by dint of constant labor and energy to produce as muck as 1,000,000 tons, is to-day almost ruined ; her fields and smaller towns devastate, and about eighty oj her moat valuable sugar factories totally destroyed by flro. Sines my last review, several freight trains and railway tracks bav been blown V pieces, us well as a sugar factory, Jems Maria, Ht Santa Anna.

The eugar percentage per-centage thu suton is uniisuully biijh i some beets giving 22 por pen., while the , average ninx 1 percent.
