Laboratory Sugar
It is possible that before long the sugar with which you sweeten your morning cup of tea may be made in a chemist’s laboratory. Professor J. A. Scott Watson, head of the Ministry of Agriculture’s new advisory service, stated recently: “Sugar can be made from a chemical manufacturing process. So far the process is much more expensive than growing sugar beet —but the position might be changed by atomic energy. “That would not necessarily be a bad thing for farmers. If the chemist could produce our bare necessities, then farmers could concentrate -on beefsteaks, turkeys ,strawberries and cream, and other things that have lately been so rare. We should then have a world not only of adequate nutrition, but also of good eating.
