only on the richest soil that the plant
ers can grow sugar cane at any profit.
The British royal commission, whose
gloomy report on the islands has just
been issued, says practically ths same
thing of Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados,
Sta. Lucia, ST. Vincent. Antigua, etc.
Beet root sugar competition has been the
main cause of the tremendous depres-
sion in sugar cane planting, for the beet
has reduced the price of sugar to point
where cane is not profitable except UNI
der exceptionally favorable conditions.
Here in Mexico, sugar planting Is
good business, and will continue to be
so, for the home market is a large one
and the demand is increasing. 1t has
been feared that the business might
be overdone, but for the present there
are no signs of an approaching excess
of supply 1t is possible that beet su-
gar may come to be made. within few
years, in Sonora, where the soil is, IN
some places, well suited to the sugar
beet, but that cane sugar will hold It's
own in this country for great many
years is as certain as anything can be.
Our sugar planters have been displacing
Anticipated machinery and putting in the
most modern sort and they have their
reward in increased profits.

with that loathsome disease for years,
and cannot find a cure. Their doctor,

sanguiI airy war Is about to break out in
Columbus, whittier General Hanna will go
after sti:e holidays to muster his faithf ii

cumstaLces, probably they are worth 1t.
