the syrup factories find a home market for their product, and the sugar 
factories use quantities of cane which is not fully ripe in the manufacture

sorghum has an advantage over beet manufacture in the fact that it is 
possible to make a fine sorghum syrup during the months when the 
market is bare of syrup, or whenever syrup pays better than sugar. 
Sugar refiners utilise a part of the residues of sugar refining by converting 
them into syrup, and it is said that there is sometimes more profit in the 
syrup made from the residues than. in the refined sugar, for the reason 
incidentally for crude syrup. ‘The result has been a small yield of sugar 
EC f cane worked for sugar, a large yield of molasses which 
includes a considerable amount of sugar which cann extra 
profitably, and inferior syrup which requires the manipulations of the 
‘mixers’ to fit it for use. It is not difficult to make a fine unerystal- 
lizable syrup from sorghum, which is superior for many purposes, if not 
all, to the common mixed syrups. Considering the immense sale of 
mixed syrups, there seems to be room fora syrup which can be produced 
ata low cost, and which is superior to the mixed syrups. There seems 
to be little profit in producing an inferior quality of syrup, which is 
wanted only by mixers, as there is little profit in producing articles of

out that problem, as it required time in the sugar cane and g 
beet industries. hile an increase in sugar yield is and should be the 
main object of the sorghum sugar factories, yet while accomplishing that 
object is seems necessary to utilise the cane in the best possible way 
with regard to immediate financial results.
