THE TYPE OE CART USED IN THE SUGAR-CANE DISTRICTS OE FORMOSA 



As the axles of the wheels are never greased, the approach of these sugar-cane-laden carts 

 is heralded from afar by strident squeakings. 



FIEEDS OE EORMOSAN SUGAR-CANE 



For the first time in its history, Formosa exported sugar to the United States in 191". 

 The other principal exports to America are Oolong tea and camphor. Although the island 

 is world-famous for its camphor, the value of its sugar exports during one year of the 

 World War was fourteen times greater than that of the camphor-tree product.
