It will be noted that in all cases, but one, the treated have a_ 

 gain in percentage over the untreated cigars. It is not the object 

 of this table to show that these treatments improve the different 

 cigars but simply to show that their qualities are not impaired 

 thereby. 



THE NECESSITY FOR REMEDIAL MEASURES 



Using as a basis the approximate loss of cigars due directly to 

 the ravages of the cigarette beetle during the past three fiscal 

 years in the 19 factories of Manila which have had an export 

 trade, we obtain the following results :

 of the chemicals and installation of the necessary apparatus 

 would be as follows:
