kilograms were produced in 1911, all of which was coarse salt.-" 

 In reporting the production some operators used the cavan as a 

 unit of measurement, others the simat, and others the curibot or 

 babaco. For the sake of convenience the product has been 

 reduced to kilograms on the basis of 1 cavan equals 49.5 kilo- 

 grams. Some of the data obtained from municipal presidentes 

 give the results expressed in Tables V and VI.

" The total production of salt in the United States in 1909 was 



3,825,000,000 kilograms, worth 16,688,000 pesos. The production in the 

 Philippine Islands looks somewhat small; however, it is not so small from 

 the standpoint of the other industries.
