prosperity resulting from the recent

THE CUBAN SUGAR INDUSTRY

THE CUBAN SUGAR INDUSTRY,
The crop of the 19O9-1O season
amounted to 100000 tons, or 100000
tons in excess of the estimates. Trust.
worthy estimates of the production of
sugar for the 1901 season set the
figure at 12,241,1 bags Q,75O,OO0
tons). The accuracy of these figures
based on the working of 10 mills
now in operation, depends on the con.
tinuance of favorable weather during
the cutting season, which extends
from December to June. 1t is not an.
ticipated, however, that the price will
reach the high figure of the past sea.
son, the shrinkage in value being es.
timated at 94,OOO,OOO ($19,466, OOO).
The estimated amount of sugar
grown for home consumption for the
last three years was; 1908, 62,S27
tons; 1909, 69,7O6 tons; 1910, 71,1S5
tons. OF the remainder, almost the
entire amount is exported to the
! United States, and, indeed, the sugar
industry of Cuba is slowly passing
into foreign, principally United States
hands. The trade with the United
States is fostered by the reciprocity
treaty between the two countries, by
which Cuban sugar imported into the
United States receives preferential
treatment. The American Sugar
Trust controls a number of important
plantations in the islands. A certain
number of reineries have been es
tablished, and that branch of the in
dustry is now practically in a position
to supply local requirements, as is re
yealed by the statistics Of the impor

State Journal: Governor Aldrich
has got the official scalp of the Rev.
Luther P. Ludden Of Lincoln, member
Of the state normal board ayound
whom the, affairs Of that board have
revolved with considerable speed for
the past ten years. Others have tried
to get the coveted lock of hair and fail
ed, but Governor AIdrich did the trick
by appointing A. II. viele OF Norfolk
to succeed Mr.. Ludden when the lat
ter's term expires June 25. Mr..
Viele is president Of the Norfolk
school board. He has been mer-
chant for many years and was form
erly locomotive engineer on the
Northwestern railroad. He was rec
commended by Superintendent Water
house OF Omaha and Superintendent
Bodwell of Beatrice, and Mr.. Ludden
suspects that State Superintendent
Crabtree knows something about how
the appointment was made. Mr.. Crab
tree is the gentleman whom Mr.. Lud-
ship OF the state normal at Peru and
after the removal the people OF the
state elected Mr.. Crabtree state su-
perintendent.
Mr. Bodwell was in the office Of the
state superintendent when the ap-
pointment was announced by the gov.
ernor yesterday. He said he had
taught at Norfolk and he knew Mr..
Viele to be good man for the posi-
tiOn.
Mr.. Crabtree did not deny that he
knew the governor, but he smilingly
said he did not even know Mr.. Viele
the appointee, except that he had
heard him highly spoken Of.
DR.. Ludden Is known throughout the
west. He is known as a preacher
teacher and politician. In the old days

OF Threshermcn, whose adjourned
convention was called to order at l 30
Tuesday afternoon by President +. II.
Shannon OF Hastings. That the thresh.
ermen and visitors seemed 10 enjoy
inspecting Norfolk was noticeable
from the fact that the Auditorium was
not as well crowded as IL would have
been II all the delegates and visitors
had attended the meeting. In all there
we're about 100 threshermen in the
Auditorium, while half that number
were busy investigating the mysteries
of the threshlng machines.
The registration did not begin In
reality until Wednesday morning.
when the Bullock Offices, which are
being used as the threshermen' head
quarters, were well filed by delegates
and Secretary r. l.. Smith, who had
charge OF the registration, found him

was the subject OF price cutting and
the need Of organization in the north
