Description:Excerpt from Sugar-Producing Plants: Record of Analyses Made by Authority of the Commissioner of Agriculture, Under Direction of the Chemist, 1887-'88, Sorghum, Fort Scott, Kansas; Rio Grande, New Jersey, Sugar Cane; Lawrence, Louisiana, Together With a Study of the Data Collected on Sorghum Sir: I Submit herewith, for your inspection and approval, Bulletin No.18 of the Chemical Division. In Bulletin No. 17 it is stated that much of the analytical work pertaining to the recent experiments in the manufacture of sugar was not ready for incorporation in that report. This work is now finished and tabulated and will be found in the following pages. In view of the fact that the experiments which have been conducted for so long a time by the Department in the manufacture of sugar have come to a successful end, I have thought it would be useful here to collect together, in a condensed form, all the important recorded analyses of sorghum which I have been able to find. Where series of such analyses have been made, there are given only the means of the analyses, since to reproduce them singly would extend the size of the bulletin to undue proportions. For those, however, who may desire to study the analyses more minutely, references are given to original publications containing them. I have also added to this part of the work an abstract of recorded tonnage per acre for sorghum, yield of sugar per ton, and other data which may help to assist any one interested in the matter to an intelligent conclusion concerning the merits of sorghum as a sugar-producing plant. In like manner I have epitomized the results of the analytical investigations which the Department has carried on for several years at Magnolia Plantation, Lawrence, La. Intending investors in establishments for manufacturing sugar should have access to a careful and unbiassed statement of the data on which the industry rests, and in the following pages an effort has been made to furnish this kind of information. Reports written under the influence of prospective personal profit, or for pushing the claims of a patent, or to gratify personal pique or ambition, are likely to become the argument of the advocate rather than the charge of the non-partisan-judge. The persistent and often malicious misrepresentation of the work which has been done by the Department has not been without its baneful influence, although it has entirely failed of its chief purpose.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
