Central Orozco, Province of Pinar del Rio. SUGAR REVIEW Specially written for "The Cuba Review" by Jlillett & Gray, New York. Our last review for this magazine was dated April 4. With the winding up of the sugar-making campaign at the Utah factories last month the 1918-19 domestic Beet Crop has come to a close, and we have since been compiling from the reports of the factories the figure of total production which is given by us herewith as 674,892 tons, slightly less than the outturn of the 1917-18 crop. The prospects of any increase in the production during the past season over previous years were poor from the start; the season was late, which fact, combined with the unsettled state of affairs early in the year regarding the price to be paid for beets, and also the fact that farmers were aide to secure better prices on other crops, had their influence on the amount of acreage which the factories could contract. Despite a considerable reduction in acreage, Colorado still ranks as the largest producing state with an outturn of 171,320 tons of sugar against 209,177 tons pro- duced last year. California is second with 109,639 tons despite the fact that this State suffered the heaviest reduction in acreage of all. Outturn last year was 185,208 tons. Michigan after two unsatisfactory seasons has again taken her place among the leading states in Beet Sugar Production, and ranks third with an outturn of 108,782 tons. Utah with 97,022 tons has dropped back to the fourth position, although showing a good increase over last year. Incidentally, the crop just finished in Utah is the largest ever produced in the State. Nebraska shows a good increase over previous years and Idaho and Ohio both have small increases. The total tonnage of beets sliced was 5,0S9,643 tons against 5,095,217 tons last campaign. Of this quantity Colorado sliced 1,217,346 tons, Michigan 857,514 tons, Utah 802,934 tons, and California 759,178 tons.
