THE SUGAR WORLD.
Beet Sugar Gazette.)

For the purpose of preventing con-
ficts between sugar beet growers and
beet sugar manufacturers, the Beigia n
government has appointed committee
composed of two delegates of the Cen
eraI Association of Sugar Manufacture
ers two delegates of the Association of
Free Chemists, two chemists from s ate
laboratories, and two agricultural ex-
perts of the government service. This
committee has appointed thirty chem
lists, each of whom is assigned to a
certain district and will superintend
the Weighing and analysis of the beets
delivered by the growers to the fac-
tories.
The most exhaustive tables of results
published are contributed to the Archief
voor de Java suikerindustrie, August
10. 1904, by ]. D. Kobus. These tables
represent a summary of the replies CIV
en- by SO Java sugar factories TO ques-
tions asked by the writer The data
are widely divergent, even those relat-
ing to one and the same cane variety.
The author attributes this partly to
the fact that the seed cane varieties
make greater demands on the soil tnan
Cheribon cane, and partly to the fact
that the qualities of the seed cane vari
cites are still insufhciently known.
The International Association for Sug-
ar Statistics, at its recent meeting in
Austria, adopted the following resolu-
tions: ID The chemical analysis of SUI
gar beets for this association shall be
limited to the sugar contents of the
tions: % The chemical analysis of sug-
ar beets for this association shall be
sis of the sugar in the beet only during
the last two weeks of the field cam
paign. Cd The chemists of the sugar
associations of all countries are to be
invited to meet in convention for the
purpose of agreeing on uniform meth
DDS of analysis. (s) 1t is desirable that
Belgium, Holland and Russia should
join this association.
According to the Monthly Summary

and 205, $50 pounds, valued at $634,0S4
in 1902 The exports from the islanas
during the same period amounted to
"a gallons of molasses, valued at $24;
142, 1854 pounds of raw sugar, valued
at $2,341917, against 1914 AL pounds,
valued at $500, I'll in 1903, and 120, 420, i
979 pounds, valued at 50. 1922 $50 in 1902;

The ST. Petersburger Herold states in
a recent issue that the minister of
finance of Russia has decreed that the
normal sugar production for the cam
paign of 1904-1905 shall amount to g.
100000 puds. OF this quantity. 45,000,-
600 puds are to be used for the domes-
tic market, not counting the 100000
puds of iron reserve which must not be
touched. The actual sugar production
of this campaign is estimated at 78,-
100000 puds, including 1S.500,000 puds of
last years free reserves and 900, 900
puds of iron STOCK. The production of
each factory. after the first $4,000 puds,
is therefore fixed at 77.9 per cent of it's
actual capacity. OF this amount, 55.7
per cent are assigned to the free sug
ar allotment, 1873 per cent to the free
