Dr. Burgess anid his Bureau: hnd demonstrated how to produce granulated dextrose economically from maize, with the result that the corn-sagar industry has now attained a firmi position in the United States:
He said that efforts now are being made, with prospects of success, to bring about the economic praduction of levalose sugar from the Jerusalem artichoke, which can bo grown anywhere in the United States.
The Bureau is also investigating the production and utilization of another sugar, xyloso, which may be recovered from several agricul tural products including maize, peanut-shells, and cotton huis.
