In the foregoing calculations we have endeavoured to 

 make the comparison as fairly as possible between the 

 two methods. We are well aware that those who are 

 partisans of diffusion will think that the increased 

 quantity of sugar which can be obtained is greater than 

 that set down, they may also perhaps take a different 

 view of the fuel question, as also that of labour. On the 

 other hand, it is fair to point out that as much as 74 per 

 cent, of juice has been obtained by double crushing and 

 that there is room for some diminution in the fuel with 

 this process. We have endeavoured, however, to avoid 

 taking extreme figures and we believe that those set 

 down are as close to what may be reasonably expe6led 

 as the present state of our knowledge admits. 



Further experience will, however, shortly be forth- 

 coming, and prudence suggests that it would be wise to 

 await this experience before embarking capital in 

 diffusion.
