According to the author, every person who grows potatoes may manu- 

 facture sugar from them, at the rate of 11 lbs. of sugar from 100 lbs. of 

 potatoes. The white beet, he states, yields only 4 lbs. in 100 lbs., and 

 therefore he considers the potatoe as decidedly the best European sugar 

 plant ; a conclusion somewhat startling after the experiments of Chaptal 

 related in his Chimie applique" a l'Agriculture.
