Extract report
The past sugar has been remarkable for the
usual strength and purity of the original juices for the
uninterrupted period of fine weather during the crashing
thus enabling high average tonnage Of be ground,
which, in JUNCTION with the richness of the juice brought
about high output of bagged sugar. also for
the high price the product obtained market There
have been several years when of the above factors OF
success in making realized during the crop but
there records file which show generally
favorable every respect over the whole this Territory;
the results from which have reached the magnificent total of
100000 tons of exported having value Of
forty millions of dollars
With such figures to point at, criticism of the methods
poyed would be of little avail that retrospective review
of the factory results obtained during the past
parson with those of gone by would be peculiarly
appropriate at this time. .t.....

In closing this report your Committee feels that special

to the exchange of weekly Mill Reports which shown by
