      sugar annually amounted to 400 , , 000 tons . In 1872 , the production ran up to 1 , 140 , 000 tons , or upwards of one-third of the Board of Trade

      totals . According to Mr . Martineau it is now 2 , 800 , 000 tons , or considerably more than half the true visible - ¦ - — production - _ . _ _ — of the _ world . _ Yet

      _ n , . * in spite of such faots , Sir Thomas Farrer denies that beetroot has , to that extent , taken the m— ^ —L == r =
