SUGAR PBODUCTION IN THE PROVINCES OUTSIDE 

 OF NEGROS. 



Mr. Herbert S. Walker, in his buUetiii, "The Sugar Industry in the 

 Island of Negros," gives a fairly complete description of this industr}- 

 as it exists in the Provinces of Oriental and Occidental Negros at the 

 present time. His account of sugar growing there is also applicable, 

 in a large measure, to all of the other sections of the Islands. In 

 dealing with the industry in the other provinces it will only be necessar}' 

 to point out the differences in conditions and methods of sugar produc- 

 tion in each section. 



THE SUGAR INDUSTRY IN THE PROVINCE OF PAMPANGA. 



Pampanga ranks next to Occidental Negros in the production of 

 sugar. During the months of July and August, 1910, a preliminar}- 

 investigation of the sugar industry of this province was made by Mr. 

 M. Brulay, an assistant agricultural inspector of the Bureau of Agri- 

 culture. The main object of this investigation was to obtain statistical 

 information that might serve as a basis for future work in the develop- 

 ment of the sugar industry in that province. 



Sixteen municipalities, including all of the important sugar-producing 

 territory in the province, were visited by Mr. Brulay. Information 

 was obtained covering the area of land cultivated in sugar cane in 

 each municipality and on each plantation ; the production, yield, con- 

 sumption, and sales of sugar: the methods of milling; and other 

 matters of interest. 



These data, in so far as they could be reduced to figures, have been 

 compiled and are included in the following table:
