llocos Sur is sixth among the sugar producing provinces and reports 

 the 1910 crop at 6,396 tons. This province has a fairly good clay soil 

 with some sand near the seashore and along the rivers. There is also 

 some coral soil in this province. 



All of the other provinces, as shown in the crop report for 1910, 

 produce less than 5,000 tons and need not be given special mention 

 in this publication. This does not mean that they are not capable 

 of producing sugar, but that the industry is simply not developed there 

 at the present time. Mindoro is in the class of provinces producing less 

 than 100 tons, but a plantation of about 22,000 hectares is now being 

 put into cultivation in that island and will have one of the largest and 

 most modern mills in the world. There are many other sections in the 

 Islands in which the industry may be developed in the future.
