In Louisiana about 20tons per acre is an average cane crop, and 15 to16 an average beet crop in the United is worth $.3 to $4 per ton, and beets $4 to$ Cane costs $30 to $35 per acre and beets$25 to $30. The sucrose content will vary inLouisiana from 10 to 16 per cent, and from 12. Tlic Xational Cane Shredder and Mill. turn out two or three grades of refined sugaror sugar that is sold direct to the trades, butas the process used by them for refining consistschiefly in washing with water, with a solutionof tin chloride, ultramarine, or phosphoric acid,it is expensive because of the large portion ofthe sugar that is dissolved while washing inthe centrifugal machine. White clarified, yel-low clarified and granulated sugars are thegrades referred to, but the amount of theseturned out is decreasing every year. The chiefdifference between refining and manufacturingof sugar is in the method of clarification. Thisis similar in almost every respect, except in therefinery, the sugar solution, after melting andchemical treatment, and filtering, is filteredthrough bone black or bone charcoal. Thissubstance has tlie property of decolorizing thesugar solution which leaves these filters in analmost colorless condition. Tlie evaporationand crystallization are carried out in the
