Beet sugar is produced in England, France, Spain, and Czechoslovakia. In England, there are 18 beet sugar factories, as well as an experimental plant at Eynsham near Oxford. The beet sugar region of France was in the war zone, but is now thoroughly and completely restored. The Sugar Institute of Prague in Czechoslovakia contains a collection of 350 substances which have been isolated from the sugar beet.
The sugar cane was introduced into the region of the Mediterranean by the Arabs during the seventh century of the Christian Era. It is cultivated in Palestine, Egypt, and Spain. The annual production of canesugar in Egypt is 15o,ooo tons. To produce one ton of sugar requires 3600 tons of water for irrigation of the plantations. The native population of Egypt and the Soudan demand hard conical loaf sugar; each cone weighs about 18oo grams. Five sugar factories and one refinery were in operation in Egypt. A sucrose normal weight of 20 grams and saccharimeters with a corresponding scale were in use there., J. S. n.
