CANE SUGAR. 



some length in the text, is the development of the 'natural' method of control 

 of insect pests, under the direction of Koebele, Craw and Perkins. 



In the French language the Bulletin de V Association des Chimistes de 

 Sucrerie, fyc., contains much valuable matter dealing with the sugar cane, to 

 which H. Pellet has given many important contributions. 



It is in Java, however, that the scientific study of the cane has reached 

 its highest level. During the past twenty years there has come thence a series 

 of papers, unsurpassed for academic interest and technical value by any similar 

 series in any industry, either in Europe or America. The work of Geerligs on 

 cane sugar manufacture, the pathological and physiological work of Went, 

 Wakker, Kriiger, van Breda de Haan and Kamerling, the cane breeding 

 work of Kobus, Bouricius and Moquette, the engineering studies of Delfos, 

 Bolk, and van Moll, the entomological researches of Zehntner and van Deventer, 

 and the agricultural enquiries of Kramers and van Lookeren Campagne, make 

 some knowledge of Dutch essential to the proper appreciation of the cane sugar 

 industry. 



In the pages immediately below is collected an imperfect list of books 

 and journals dealing directly or indirectly with the cane sugar industry, with 

 names of publishers where known.
