Abstract
THIS work is based largely upon articles published in The Field and The Times during the years 1910–11, and is essentially an examination of the arguments for and against the proposals to establish a beet sugar industry in this country. “There are those,” the author remarks, “who hail sugar beet as the saviour of the countryside; and there are those who are sure that the notion of growing our own sugar at a profit is preposterous.” For each of these classes he has collected a large number of “facts,” and to some of the former he indicates what in his judgment are “illusions.”
