a This mill ran 170 days in the campaign of 96, working up 155,000 tons of beets. It paid $700 000 for 

 beets in '94, and $613.000 in '96. b Cl ino paid $420.000 for '97 beets. c A state bounty equal to $1 per 

 ton of beets enables these mills to pay .*5 a ton, thus increasing this sum 25%. d This total has not 

 yet been reached. eThis mill was built for 350 tons daily but with room enough to put in the ma- 

 chinery necessary to increase to 700 or 800 tons, which will probably be done in time for the 1899 crop. 

 /The Spreckels mill will be able to work up over 400,000 tons of beets in a successful campaign, g Its 

 equipment for '99 will handle 1000 tons per diem, bur, a duplicate set of machinery, now going in, 'will 

 double its capacity. h This is the probable capacity for 1898.

The following table from The Sugar Beet gi 



industry of Germany. It shows a production about equal to total annual imports of sugar into t 

 United Slates. As Saylor suggests, therefore, this table is of special importance as showing about 

 what would be the condition of the industry in the United States were it established to the extent of 

 producing all the sugar required for home consumption.
