Book Description
Excerpt from The Sugar Beet: Culture, Seed Development, Manufacture, and Statistics The mean summer temperature of these localities is about the same, but the continuation of a semisummer temperature through the winter in southern California greatly favors the growth and manufacture of the beets. In northern Nebraska and South Dakota the beets, which are to be manufactured during the winter time, have to be protected by expensive silos. In southern California and other places similarly situ ated the beets can be protected without any covering, or at most with only a slight covering of leaves or straw. The season for planting in a mild climate is also longer. For instance, in southern California plant-a ing can commence as early as January and continue till June, thus giv ing a beet crop coming continuously into maturity from the 1st of August to the lst of December. In other. Localities the planting must be accomplished in a short time, say from the l0th of May till the 1st of June. Before the first of these dates the ground will be too cold for planting and after the second the season will be. So late as to prevent the maturity of the beets before frost. When the field is properly plowed and subsoiled in the late autumn the farmer will be able to take advantage of the first favorable opportunity in the spring to pre pare the surface of the soil and plant the seed.

Book Description
This dramatic history of an ingredient that changed the world “offers up a number of fascinating stories” (The New York Times Book Review). Sugar explores the history behind the sweetness, revealing, among other stories, how powerful American interests deposed Queen Lili’uokalani of Hawaii; how Hitler tried to ensure a steady supply of beet sugar when enemies threatened to cut off Germany’s supply of overseas cane sugar; and how South Africa established a domestic ethanol industry in the wake of anti-apartheid sugar embargos. The book follows the role of sugar in world events and in individual lives up to the present day, showing how it made eating on the run socially acceptable and played an integral role in today’s fast food culture and obesity epidemic. Impressively researched and commandingly written, Sugar will forever change perceptions of this tempting treat. “A highly readable and comprehensive study of a remarkable product.” —The Independent “Epic in ambition and briskly written.” —The Wall Street Journal “Readers will never again be able to casually sweeten tea or eat sweets without considering the long and fascinating history of sugar.” —Booklist
