A T., ST.. a Fol Ia
I sugar Refinery co. NJ Sydney, New
] | south Wales. He stated fra a CONVEX
satjon with the writer Of this paper
. that the company with which he h
| connected owns and operates three
] sugar mills whose total maximum
CAPACITY In 1900 long tons Of cane.
The cane IL bought by the ton, fol
3 which the T@ny pays III shilling
2 or SO per ton. This cane IL raised
] along the riyer-bott0ms on home
. steals owned by white men, or or
g land leased by them, having an acre
: aye I'm cane Of from three 10 eighty
: acres. The contract IL for five year,
, and the price paid for cane II based 81

: cane In their own way, which ap

u as they strip their cane but oilce, ant
n then do IL only because the COMPANY
d make note Of such neglect, and i
o thus affects the price Of the cane. 4
~ cane inspector II employed by TIA
n company, who offers suggestions 4
q the farmers, advisory To be sure, an
q who also notes the condition Of til
pr cane In the field, and 0therwie
r guards the interest Of the company
4 The cost Of cutting II borne by Tia
70 company, while the work Of trans
porting the cane To scows along Tn
y rivers II performed by the planter
~ Some men, favorably located, car
Il the cane 10 the mill for which the
~ receive bonus. Some land Is cult
lt tivatcd by the company, but who'll

nc scheme Of cane-growing has been !
80 successful operation along the Clal

IL In Queensland, n new enterprise

or ~ 10 fifty acres arc given to Til
~ right class Of settlers, character an
III reliability being sought for in maxim

Surely the Leasehold System as ~
~ vocated In this paper cannot be In
h, practicable If scheme 80 similar
40 operated elsewhere with satisfactoT
n results.
of There are difficulties To be met wit
40 In adjusting the proposed system, bI

or new conditions, Of the irrigation sy

80 the solution of the difficulties atten

Ie- system, but IL certainly Is not amiss
ch submit that at least way TO the sol
