Sugar Consumption in the United States. The people of the United States : consume half their own weight in sugar every year. This may seem a startling statement, but if we take the quanity of sugar produc ed in the United States and add to this the quantity brought from our own islands and the quantity imported from foreign countries, and subtract therefrom the amount exported, we get a grand total of considerably more than 7 billion pounds consumed in the country; and by dividing the pop ulation into this grand total, we get an average ot 81A pounds per capita, speaking in round terms, for 1010, and about a like quanti ty for 1009. It is not assumed, of course, that each person necessar ily consumes sugar equal to one half his individual weight; but taking a total consumption and comparing it with the total popu lation in the section known as continental United States, the av erage yearly consumption ol sugar is found to be about 81 i pounds per capita. In fact, the people of the Unit ed States are larger consumers of sugar per capita than those of any other country of the world except England, for which the latest fig ues show a consumption averaging 80 pounds round per capita, against our own average of 81 pounds per capita. The next larg est per capita consumption is in Denmark, 772 pounds; followed by Switzerland, 04 pounds, and Germany and Holland, each about 48£ pounds. Not only is the United States the second largest sugar consumer per capita, but the total amount consumed annualy is much great er than that of any other country, aggregating, as above indicated, more than 7 billion pounds per annum, against about 4 billion pounds in England and abc.ut 8 billion pounds in Germany. About one-half of the sugar con sumed in the United States is brought from foreign countries, about one fourth from >*ir own islands, and the remaining one fourth produced in this country. The total production of sugar in the United states now amounts to 13 billion pounds a year, of which more than 1 billion pounds is beet, sugar and about three-quarters of a billion cane sugar. 111 1900 domestic production of cane sugar was twice as great as that of beet sugar, and 20 years ago was more than 00 times as great; but the growth of beet sugar production haß been- very rapid in recent years, and in 1907, for the first time, exceeded in quantity that produced from cane and has so continued since that time. Os the sugar brought from other countries, nearly all is made from cane. While about half of the world's sugar is made from beets, most of it is produced in Europe and consumed in the country of production or in other parts of that grand division, while most of the world outside of Europe ob tains its sugar supply from cane, grown of course, in tht tropical and subtropical sections. Os the cane sugar which we consume, most of that, coming from foreign countries is drawn from Cuba, the Dutch East Indes, and smaller a mounts from the West Indies, Mexico, Central and South Ameri ca All of that coining from our own islands—Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines—is cane sugar, while of the domestic pro duct about 40 per cent is produc- , ed from cane. The best sugar in ! the United States is grown chief ly in Colorado, California, and j Michigan, and some in Utah, Ida- j ho, and Wisconsin; while most of j the cane sugar is produced in J Lousiaua, with smaller qualities j in Texas, Florida, Georgia and: South Carolina. The sugar “habit” is evidently a growing one with the people of the United States and probably with those of other countries, since the total world production of sugar, including all countries for which statistics are available, has increased 50 per cent, in the last decade and about doubled in 15 years. In our own case the con-j sumption has shown a rapid growth, the per capita consump tion having been in 1880, 40 pounds; in 1890, 51 pounds, in 190<’, 59 pounds, and in 1910, ap proximately 813 pounds. What is the cost of this enor mous quantity of sugar consumed in the U mted States? This is mere j difficult i" answer. The valuation |of that brought from foreign I countries and our island is set down at about 175 million dollars: in 1910, and the stated value of that predneted in the United i States, at proximately 75 million ' dollars; though this comparative-| ly high figure when considered by , the price per pound, is due to the j fact that the vacation is based upon the refined article 111 the country of production. If, how ever, we accept a general average of 5 cents a pound as the retail price paid by our people for the 71 billion pounds of sugar con sumed by them in 1910, we should get a total of $306,000,0(0. or an average of approximately SIOO -a day paid for sugar hy the people of the United States.
