THE CUBA REVIEW 



PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED 



The High Price of Sugar and Hoio to Reduce 

 It, l5y Harold Hamel Smith, Editor Tropical 

 Life, pal)'ished by Bale, Sons & Danielsson, 

 Ltd., London, England. 



IMr. Smitii treats his case under the foUow- 

 ins heads: 



The Case of India and tlie West Indies, 



A Competitor on India as a Cane-Sugar 

 Producing Centre, 



Experts Discuss the Sugar Industry in 

 India, 



When Will India Export Sugar to England, 



The Cuban Out]:)Ut and the Shrinkage in 

 Sugar Supplies, 



Cane-Farming in the West Indies, 



The Java Out out, 



The Present and the Possible Output of 

 Sugar within the Empire, exclusive of India, 



A Double Tribute to the Dietetic Value of 

 Sugai, 



The Engineers and the Increased Output. 



H'j conclusions are briefly as follows: 



First: In order to reduce tlie p. ice of sugar 

 it is necessarv to increase the production of 

 cane sugar, and this, Mr. Smith believes, can 

 be accomplished by better training of the 

 laborers engaged in the cultivation of sugar 

 cane. 



Second: Mr. Smith discusses the practi- 

 cability of inci easing the production of tne 

 land now under sugaj- cultivation by means of 

 intensive Cultivation as opposed to extensive 

 •cultivation, and it is emphasized that the 

 sugar production of India, can be greatly en- 

 larged, that is to say, the production of India 

 is approximately 2,600,000 tons of sugar and 

 gur, and in addition 500,000 tons of palm 

 sugar, which is not sufficient to supply the 

 domestic consumers in India, making it 

 necessary to import some 800,000 tons per 

 yea;, and Mr. Smith points out that with the 

 proper method of cultivation, India could 

 produce at least 5,000,000 tons of sugar. 



PHILIPPINE SUGAR 



The Bureau of Science of the Philippine 

 Islands, which is constantly studying the 

 sugar industry in the islands and assisting 

 sugar producers to develop new methods with 

 the object of increased output and higher 

 quality, has issued a statement of preventable 

 losses in sugar production, and a comparison 

 of results between the present method and 

 that ol employing a central factory.
