Total 



• Average. 

 Note. — 1 picul = 63.25 kilos. 1,000 kilos = 1 metric ton. 



The total crop as shown by this table is believed to be slightly below 

 the actual production, as it has been found difficult to secure complete 

 reports from all of the provinces. However, the amount unreported is 

 quite small and is all consumed locally. 



The differences between the provinces in production per hectare, aside 

 from those arising from varying soil fertility, are in part accounted 

 for by destrsction in some localities from drought or stonns, or because 

 of locusts or rats. Locusts in some places destroyed a great deal of cane 

 at an early stage of growth, some municipalities reporting an almost 

 total loss. 



Mr. W. B. Gonder,. sugar chemist of the Bureau of Science, states 

 that the average polarization of sugar sold on the Iloilo market during 

 the first half of the year 1911 was 82. G degrees. If this is true for 

 all of the sugar produced in the Islands, the 152,639 ton crop of 1910 

 was equal to only 131,332.28 tons of 96 degi'ee centrifugal sugar. 



Disposal. — The disposal of this sugar was as follows : 



Metric tons. 



Exported to the United States 92,668 



Exported to other countries 33,000 



Consumed in the Philippines _ 27,971 



To the local consumption here shown must be added the unreported 

 sugar referred to above. 



Exports of sugar, 1910-11. — The total exports of sugar from the 

 Philippine Islands for the year ending June 30, 1911. were 149,376

 for this period were 128,926 tons, and to all other countries 20,450 tons.
