Errors Helped

The errors made by Bumgardner and Heck were valuable assets to the run getting by Selma, as was the wild pitch and passed ball by Robertson and Pierre. During the game the Selma club estab- lished quite a record by stealing 13 bases, which is perhaps a record in the circuit. Selma counted the first score of the game in the initial inning, Gondolh was walked stole second and on Heek's error scored. In the fifth, after two outs, Chastant was walked, stole second while Hanna went to first on fielder's choice. Vas terling and Sparks hit to right and cen- ter and two runs were counted.
 In the seventh Herman beat out an in field hit and stole second. Chastant bunt- ed out while Hanna beat out bunt and stole second Kernan and Hanna tried a double steal and both landed, Herman at home and Hanna on third. Sparks then got to first on Bumgardners error and stolen second. Nelson also got to first by Bumgardner and while Hanna count ed, went to second. Both scored on Cult ereZ'S hit to right

Especial Correspondence of the Star }
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1O-An
interesting report on the Cuban sugar
industry he's been made made recent
ly by Deputy Consul General H. P.

Cuba has entered upon a period OF
development that has exceeded the
predictions of the most optimistic. Vast
new areas of land have been brought
under cultivation, new mills have been
erected, old mills have been remodel.
ed and improved, and projects are on
foot for many additional mills to be
built in the near future. So great has
been this recent development that il
can safely be said that if the present
activity continues Cuba will be in q
fair way of becoming the largest pro
Queer of sugar in the world.
The relations between Cuba and the
United States have been so close the
last few years that it is interesting
to observe just what extent American
capital has invested in the Cuban
sugar industry. A careful estimate
of this investment in mills, lands
railroads, and other equipment de
voted exclusively to the industry
but not including mortgages, gives {
total of $54,0OO,O00. In this estimate
however, are included few companies
which were organized in the United
States and hold charters granted b!
different States, but whose stock il
owned by persons other than Ameri
cans. Their investment amounts to
very small percentage of the whole

INCOME TAX PLAN A DANGER
TO THE SUGAR INDUSTRY

monts advanced for the duty on sugar
is based upon the fact that our gov.
eminent secures in that way some
nifty millions of dollars more readily
than could be secured in any other
way. If the income tax be made con
stitutional the sugar planters revenue
argument will be diminished IN its
force and possibly destroyed, and to
us such a situation would seem disas-
trous. As the matter stands, con.
gress has no right to tax the people
Of any state as individuals and can
only tax them as states and in pro.
portion to their population A change
in this regard, such as prevailed dur

Of many of the citizens OF the various
states in the union that the rights Of

reserved to the states. Our sugar

this whole problem and would do

We received a telegram from one
Of our prominent correspondents last
week, but too late for consideration
for that issue, in which he took the
ground that the ratification of the in
come tax amendment by Louisiana
and a few other states would incor.
porate said amendment into the fed
eral constitution. In his opinion the
result of this would be that sugar as
a revenue producer would be unnec-
cssary to maintain adequate revenue
for the federal government and in
this manner the ground under the
feet Of sugar as the best revenue
producer would be carried away and
sugar would be left as a child Of an
exclusive protective tariff, to be buff
feted about with the various political
humors of the day. The lower house
having voted overwhelmingly for the
ratification of this amendment to the
constitution is significant of the dan
ger in the situation and apart from
any political party move, both parties,
or all parties here in the sugar dis
tricts Of Louisiana are profoundly
concerned with the maintenance Of a
fair duty on sugar, failing in which
the industry would be destroyed so
far as this state is concerned.

Cultural Methods


Two general systems of growing the
cane are in vogue in Cuba--the colo
no" system and the administration"
system. The first contemplates the
ownership of the land and equipment
by the mill, money being advanced to
"colonos" or tenants to grow, cut, and
deliver the cane to the company's rail-
road, a percentage of the sugar extrac-
ton being returned to the tenant in
payment for his work In many In
stances the "colono" owns his land
and equipment, and in such cases the
is larger. These percentages vary &C
that the percentage returned to him
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-06-22

is larger. These percentages very ac-
cording 10 locality and the number Of
mills competing for the cane, but Il
probably averages about Eve per cent
of the cane actually delivered TO the
mill OF the companys railroad. That
Is, for every 100 arrobas (Grroba-25-
1864 pounds Jof cane delivered to the
mill the colono receives FIVE arrobas
Of sugar or the market price for the
same.
The second method that Of "ad-
ministrauon," is one in which the com
pany owns the land and either does
the whole work through its own en-
ployees or lets the different branches
of the work out to contractors who
perform the work under the supervi'
sion of the company's representatives.
One class of contractors cleans the
cane rows, another cultivates the crop,
another cuts and loads the cane on the
cars. etc. This seems to me the prefer
red method. and this is the one upon
which the figures of this report are
based.
In Oriente Province the average cost
by contract of clearing land, fencing,
making roadways, blowing, planting.
and cultivating cane to maturity az
to Ia months from planting) is $50
an acre. The cane once planted in
new and what is considered good
sugar land will produce an average
crop of 80 tons per acre per annum
for a period of 10 years, after which
time it would have to be replanted;
and the cost of cultivation per year
would be about $15 per acre.
Cost and Profits.
Taking these general figures as a
basis, it would be necessary to plant
the first year 5000 acres of cane,
which, at an average Of 80 tons pc
acre, would produce 100000 tons OF
cane per annum. Allowing "rendi-
miento" or sugar extraction from the
cane of 10 per cent, would give pro
duction of 96 deg raw sugar of $4,000
long tons, or 33,6OO,0OO pounds in all.
The average net price for Cuban raws
(. o. b. Cuba for the past 10 years,
but not including the high prices of
1911 and 1912, was 2.25 cents per
pound. 1t must be stated here, how
ever, that the high prices of 1911 and
the favorable outlook as to future
prices will considerably raise this ay-
erage. This production Of raw sugar
would give approximately 100000
gallons of molasses, and the price for
| which this could be sold would be
about IL cents per gallon +. o. b
Cuba Thus the following statement
shows the gross annual income to be
S3,600,O00 pounds 90 deg. raw sugar
at 2 IA cents, $756,OOO; 100000 gal
Ions molasses, at 10 cents, $4,000;
total income, $791,OOO.
In such a mill located near the
coast, with no railroad freight to pay
on its product and with efficient man
agement, it is safe to say that the
cost of producing this amount o
sugar, including cultivation, harvest
ing, transporting the cane to the
ton, administration, maintenance, de
probation, insurance, taxes, and al
other operating expenses, would no
exceed $55O,OOO, or at the rate of IL
cents per pound. The difference be
tween the gross income and the tota
annual cost would therefore be S24l
900, or slightly in excess of IA pc
cent on the investment of $1,7OO,OOO
