The Salem Slogan editor does not believe the latter precaution is
called for.
He believes that if the process is a success any where, it will be a
success here.
The big Utah and Idaho sugar interests were ready to put a
sugar factory in Salem, before the war, if they could get the beetV
grown. Ami tneir representatives torn a iew Kaiera men mat tne
Willamette valley was ideal for .sugar beets as good as the best dis
tricts of Germany. They knew. They had made experiments. They
were not shooting in the dark.
If sugar beet syrup without the beety flavor can be made any
where, by this home process, it can be made here,
It is worth trying; and by every one. Sugar beets are good stoek
and human food, any way; as good as any other kind of beets. Noth
ing can be lost by making the trial, by any one.

SUGARS AND SYRUPS
Sugars and syrups as we know them are comparatively new.
Beet sugar is newer than potatoes, and cane sugar only a little older,
to the people of Europe And America. . I .
Sugar from the sugar cane was probably known m China ZVW
years before it was used in Europe. When merchants began to trade
And plant sorghum, too.
A Salem physician grew a couple of rows of sorghum last year
in his back yard, extracted the juice with a clothes wringer, and
made sorghum for his family use.
At the penitentiary, this year, there will be four acres planted to
sorgnum.
A home made press, two logs with a sweep to one of The logs, wil
be used, if nothing better is available, to squeeze out the juice.
Any man can make such a press, without paying out a

for a long time it was used exclusively in tne preparation oi meui
eines. An old saying to express the lack of something very essential
was '-'Like an apothecary without sugar." Several centuries before
the Christian era Greek physicians knew of sugar under the name of
"Indian salt." It was also called "honey made from reeds," and was
said to be "like gum, white and brittle." But not) until the middle
ages did Europeans have any clear idea of its origin. It was con
founded with manna or was thought to exude from the stem of a
plant, where it dried? into a kind of gum. When m the fourteenth
or. fifteenth century the sugar cane from India was cultivated in
northern Africa, the use of sugar greatly increased, and as its cul
ture was extended to the newly discovered Canary Islands and later
to the West Indies and Brazil; it became a common article of food
among the well to do. By many the new food was still regarded,
with suspicion It was said to be very heating, to be bad for the
lungs, and even to cause appoplexy. Honey was thought to be more
wholesome, because more natural than the "products or iorcea in
vention." ; 1
The sugar industry in what is now the United States dates from
But the sugar consumed in this and.other countries up to 1850
was nearly all derived from sugar cane. At the present time half
the sugar crop of the world is obtained from the j sugar beet.
