PLANTATION WHITE SUGAR 



Mr. Frank Schaffer, president of Hugh 

 Kelly & Co., owners of the Central Teresa, 

 Oriente Province, was recently in Cuba 

 visiting the properties of the company. 

 According to an interview in the Havana 

 Post, Mr. Schaffer will consider the ad- 

 visability of making white sugar at the 

 plantation. This product under the new 

 United States tariff can enter that country 

 free of extra duty. 



Mr. Schaffer, however, suggests caution 

 for the new venture and advises against 

 undue haste in the changing of sugar mill 

 machinery or in making expensive and new 

 installations required by the process as the 

 product cannot be used for every purpose, 

 as refined sugar can when by the bone 

 char process. He further declared that 

 "the changes, commercial conditions and 

 inconveniences which will undoubtedly have 

 to be met and to be borne in the disposi- 

 tion and distribution of such a product, 

 may not prove exactly satisfactory to the 

 planters." 



President Menocal has sent Dr. Gasteona 



Cuadrado to Louisiana for the purpose of 

 studying the process of making pure white 

 sugar direct from cane juice. 



DEMANDS OF COLONOS 



There is an agricultural association of 

 colonos at Gtiines, who are seeking an agri- 

 cultural education, money cheaper than at 

 12 per cent and 18 per cent, a return to the 

 conuco system (i. e., the privilege of plant- 

 ing an eighth of a caballeria of land to 

 vegetables, etc., for their own consump- 

 tion), and a fixed price for cane payable in 

 sugar or money as the colono may prefer. 



This "fixed price" the association de- 

 mands is 7% per cent — undoubtedly the 

 very best percentage paid in Cuba. Most 

 mills in the Guines district have acceded to 

 their demands except Sr. Gomez Mena. 



Lands upon which to establish an agri- 

 cultural school in Camaguey have been pur- 

 chased by the government. The price paid 

 was $3,000, and the plot contains about 

 three caballerias of land.
