- 75 - Beet-Supar Production VJhile considerable progress was ntnH^ ir» incrpasinp; the cane-sugar production in the Southern States, the most premising field for the solution of the sugar-production problem seemed to lie in the beet-sugar areas. This was due, in part, to the larger extent of the sugar-beet area as compared with the cane area and the consequent possible, increased acre- age of beets and, in part, to the possibility of increasing the sugar production per acre. The problem was at...tacked frcm the standpoint of a larger acreage, better cultural methods, control of pests, and an adequate supply of high-grade sugar-beet seed. The office of Sugar-Plant Investigations cooperated with the farmers in the sugar-beet areas, with the beet-sugar companies, and with all State and national agencies interested in food production. As a result of those combined efforts, the largest acreage of beets ever planted in the United States was seeded in 1917. Unfortunately, unfavorable weather and labor conditions prevailed in certain localities, and an abnormally high percentage of the fields were abandoned, however, the crop yielded approximately 750,000 tons of sugar, which tided over a period that other- wise would have bordered upon a sugar famine.
