STATISTICS ON SUGAR IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS. 



Cultivated area and available sugar land. — In 1908 Mr. John S. Hord, 

 then Collector of Internal Eevenue, made a thorough canvas of the 

 sugar industry of the Islands through the local internal-revenue agents. 

 They visited most of the farms of any consequence and secured a sworn 

 statement from practically every cane grower as to the area he had 

 in cultivation and the amount of his land deemed suitable for sugar 

 growing. The results of this investigation are shown in the following
