STORY OF SUGAR
From Brown Bros.
The sugar of the world is made chiefly from sugar cane and from sugar beets. This picture of a sugar
cane field, with the figure of a man standing and of another on horseback, shows the height to which the cane grows, which is frequently more than twelve feet. In grows in tropical and semi-tropical countries and is grown from cuttings, as the plant rarely bears seed.
From Brown Hi.
About half of the world's sugar is now produced from sugar beets, and this industry has become a highly important one in the northern section of the United States, in Germany and other countries. We here see wagon loads of sugar beets being hauled to the railroad station for shipment to the sugar factory.
