706 MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS 



Turning to the periodicals which deal especially with 

 fibres, reference may be made to the Journal d' Agriculture 

 Tropicale and to the Philippine publications, particularly 

 the Philippine Agricultural Review, which devotes much 

 attention to the production of Manila hemp and kapok. 

 In England, the technological and economic side of fibre 

 production receives systematic consideration in the 

 Bulletin of the Imperial Institute, and various aspects of 

 the industry are written up from time to time in Tropical 

 Life. The work in German possessions in Africa will 

 be found described in Der Tropenpflanzer and in the 

 official publication of the Amani Institute, Der Pflanzer. 

 Owing to the development of fibre growing in Fiji, 

 Mauritius, Jamaica, and the Bahamas, the Reports of the 

 Department of Agriculture of those colonies often prove 

 of interest. Special attention may be given to the 

 Bulletin Agricolc, Mauritius, and to the 'Revue Agricole, 

 Reunion. It is hardly necessary to add that those 

 interested in fibre should follow closely the summarizing 

 publications referred to in the first section of this paper. 

 Doing so will often be the means of becoming acquainted 

 with work in foreign countries which has been published 

 in periodicals that have a very limited circulation. 



Sugar. 



The economic and manufacturing side of the sugar 

 industry is represented in England by the International 

 Sugar Journal. In America this side of the industry, as 

 well as production, is dealt with by the Louisiana Planter, 

 Sugar, and the Modern Sugar Planter. These journals 

 also report on affairs in Cuba, though this Republic has 

 its own organs, as exemplified by the Cuba Magazine and 

 the Cuba Review. From Porto Rico, near by, comes the 

 publications of the Government Experiment Station and 

 the local Planters' Association. On the sugar industry 

 of the British West Indies, the Imperial Department of 

 Agriculture issues periodicals and reports, as do also the 

 Departments in British Guiana, Trinidad, and Jamaica. 

 From India, important papers come in the publications 

 of the Departments already referred to under cotton, 

 whilst the industry in Mauritius receives regular attention
