Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The United States Beet-Sugar Industry and the Tariff
The limitations of a study of this kind are such that only a few of the principal problems involved can be set forth, even in outline. Hence, most attention has been paid to the three main factors which will determine the future development of the' domestic beet-sugar industry, namely: agricultural conditions, cane-sugar competition and modifying legislation. Suits, legislation and other matters now pendingmay soon render obsolete certain parts of anything which may be written, but the funda mental facts and principles involved are not subject to such rapid change, even in the case of matters so highly dynamic as those here under consideration. Lack of space forbids the naming of the many indi viduals to whom the writer is indebted for assistance in the preparation of this study. They include experiment-sta tion directors, beet-sugar authorities and correspondents in the sugar-producing states; heads of bureaus, chiefs of divisions and individual investigators in various depart ments of the federal government; manufacturers, brokers and statisticians in New York and other centers. The writer is grateful to each and all and cannot fail to men tion his appreciation of the special courtesies of Messrs. Willett Gray and the helpful suggestions of. Professors E. R A. Seligman and H. R. Seager. He is under even greater obligations for the very special and extensive favors of Mr. M. L. Jacobson and Professor H. R. Mussey.
