limited way and the writer will be very glad to reciprocate and a little later 

 advise you the results of the tests we are now making here. 

 Thanking you again for your interest, we remain, 

 Yours very truly, 



Zamboanga, September 23, 1916. 

 I beg to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of copy of the Bureau of 

 Science Bulletin No. 54 which you were kind enough to furnish this office. 

 This bulletin contains very valuable information for the development of 

 agriculture and industry in these islands. Please accept my congratula- 

 tions for the successful completion of this important work. 



Please have furnished us with fourteen additional copies both in English 

 and Spanish of said bulletin for distribution among our provincial governors 

 of this department. 



Thanking you for this and past favors, I remain, 

 Very respectfully, 



San Carlos, Negros, September 19, 1916. 

 We duly received your letter of September 12, 1916, with enclosed 

 blueprint of your new lime kiln, for which please accept our thanks. 



No doubt this kiln will prove to be a very satisfactory type and we shall 

 be much interested in the result of a trial which, we hope, will take place 

 in the near future. 



Thanking you again for your kindness in regard to this matter, we are, 

 Very respectfully, 



Santa Cruz, Lacuna, September 8, 1916. 

 I have been interested in having my attention called to Bulletin No. 54, 

 issued by the Bureau of Science, as posted in typewritten form here in 

 Santa Cruz. This is, I am sure, a most valuable collection of practical 

 information which should be spread as widely as possible. With this in 

 view I am desirous of securing copies of this Bulletin in English and 

 Spanish, as I have considerable opportunity of bringing these things to 

 the attention of many of the common people. 



I shall be obliged if you will kindly send to me copies of the bulletin 

 referred to. 



Respectfully yours, 



Cadiz, Occidental Negros, September 2, 1916. 



Last week Mr. J. F. Armstrong, an employee of the Bureau of Science 

 was here in Cadiz. This kind gentleman came to us hacenderos of this 

 district and gave us news which during these many years was unknown 

 to us. He has given us wise instruction in the milling of the sugar cane 

 and the methods of manufacturing muscavado in a scientific way notwith- 

 standing the antique methods which we still use. 



We, the hacenderos of Cadiz, are as yet ignorant of the methods used 

 by those of Silay, Saravia, and other sugar-producing towns, but as pro- 

 gressive men we are anxious to know said methods; how to obtain a good 

 extraction of juice from the cane, to skim the juice, how to lime properly, 

 and to obtain a good quality of sugar. * * * 



All these paying methods were clearly explained to us by Mr. J. F. 

 Armstrong during his short visit in this section, and we are convinced that 

 it would give us very satisfactory results. * * * 



For all the reasons herein mentioned, I take the liberty to suggest that 

 Mr. J. F. Armstrong, or someone else employed in the Bureau of Science, 

 give lectures and travel all over the sugar districts of the Philippines to
