Sugar Exhibit at Fort Scott Sugar Works Promising
A report from Fort Scott notes sugar from sorghum is being produced under a new diffusion method. The process uses a battery of ten-ton cells, treated with water to strip sugars, yielding 18,000 pounds of sugar per day and prospecting 10 to 12 tons per ton of cane. Officials claim the method could transform domestic sugar production, with costs around three dollars per ton of cane and potential high profits.

Slag as Fertilizer Highlighted by German Research
From Mayence and Berlin reports several years of work on slag derived from iron works show slag containing 24 to 28 percent phosphoric acid can substitute for superphosphates. The process, improved by Hussinmer, yields Thomas slag meal used as fertilizer at one third the price of standard phosphate. German ironworks produce about 400,000 English tons of slag annually, marketed as a cheaper plant nutrient. Washington news notes a Monument Commission meeting at the White House to review Col Causey’s plans for subsidiary buildings.
