Before the great war Great Britain paid Germany, even upon a low computation, $35,000,000 a year for beet sugar. Great Britain now appears determined not to do it in the future, as there has been recently opened at Newark-on-Trent a beet-sugar factory which opens a new chapter in British farming annals.
The factory, covering some forty acres in all, is the result of co-operation between the government and the Sugar Beet Growers' society and Home-Grown Sugar, Limited, and is to be the first of five factories, which in turn may be precursors of the two that would be necessary to make England quite self-supporting.
