Excerpt from Progress of the Beet-Sugar Industry in the United States in 1906 I can not better introduce my tenth annual report on the progress of the beet-sugar industry in this country than by stating that the year 1906 has been in all respects the most successful year since the beginning of the industry in the United States. We are now producing enough sugar (from beets and cane.) in the United States to supply the population in the western two-thirds of our entire area. Or enough to supply nearly one-third of the whole amount of sugar consumed in the United States. The beet crop has been bountiful in all sections of the country. Factories have received larger supplies of beets than at any other time, many of them more than it was practicable to manufacture into sugar. During the past year more plants have been built and considerably more capacity for manufacturing sugar has been installed than in any preceding year. The prospects at the present time are encouraging for 1907 and, in fact, the continuous development of this industry seems assured.
