JAPANESE ARE BUYING
PHILIPPINE PLANTATIONS

' MANILA, March 20.-Following the
regent purchase of the extensive land
holding of the Philippine Sugar Estate
Company by Japanese concern, it was
learned today that negotiations entered
into some time ago between Dr. A. A.
Addison, a well known Tayabas prop
erty owner, and japanese firm have
been concluded for the sale and imme-
diate transfer of thirty-three tructs of
land situated in the province of Taya-
bas. Four hunded and sixty thousand
pesos was the price agreed on in the
contract, which was signed last Thurs
dav, and under which Doctor Addison
is to turn over the property in question
as soon as the first part payment has
been made.
Occidental to the above mentioned
sales, comes the report from Mindanao
that number of American and Span
ish plantation owners in MindanaO have
been approached by japanese agents
with a view to buying up their pIauta,
tions. In this competition it was rumor
ed not less than five big plantations,
owned by Americans and Spaniards,
will soon be transferred to Japanese
owners.

WE MUST SklMP SUGAR
OUR ENGLISH COUSINS SAY

A letter to the Federal, from London,
dated May 3, 1915, says in part: The
British Commission has provided
against the future by securing all the
new crop Java they can get, say
$500, 200 tons, and they will no doubt
do the same with the Mauritius crop
in August. After they have secured all
this there is not much else they can
get for the rest of the season and in
the meantime for the next six months
they will have to rely Us hitherto main
ly upon Cuba and L. 5. or Canadian

The country's requirements of re-
fined sugar are not being met by any
increase in the production of the home

have actually reduced theiroutput since
the year began by nearly $4,000 tons
as compared with last year. Against
this, some reduction in the U. K con
sumption is undoubtedly taking place.

high price as because the sugar is not

Another increase in price is now
overdue as the commission are selling

There is now no hope of any relief

No recent sugar journals came by

York letter Of one of the sugar houses
advised that during the week ending
June 10 sales were $4,000 Cubas and

PLANTATION WORKERS
LIKE BONUS SYSTEM

Word comes from the other Islands
that since the Japanese and Filipino
lRbprers have acquired full understand
ing of the terms of the bonus wage
agreement offered them by the plan
tiers, there has been material inn
provement in the morale on the planta.
tions. The labOrers are watehful of
their employers interests and better
service is being rendered all along the
line.
On one of the smaller plantations en-
ploying only about $50 men all told,
the manager reports that an average of
forty men more than usual have turned
out for work each day. If this repre-
sents conditions on the larger planta-
tiOns, and it probably does, the inau7
guration of the advanced bonus system
throughout Hawaii is equivalent to
having increased the available labor
supply by at least $500 workers.
The Japanese, who arc in by far the
largest numbers on the plantations, are
born gamblers, being much like the
average American labOrer in that re.
spcct. Any proposition presented to
them where there is a sporting chance
of higher pay at the end of the season,
If market conditions warrant it, APP
pcals to them. Some nationalities and
races of men prefer a definite daily
wage without bonus or drawback but

Unrest Cause of Strike

According to mail advices from the
Coast the primary cause of the recent
strikes among longshorcmeu is said to
have been the shortage of skilled labor

the abnormally high wages being offer.
ed men by mines and factories engaged
In the production of munitions and
war materials. This has led to a con
dition of unrest in labor circles that is
said to be absolutely unprecedented.

"unskilled" classes who have attempt,

exehequer that negotiations are in pro-
gress to purchase and preserve the
whole fruit crop. The sugar commits,

This reads like step to reduce the
imports of canned fruit, which are
bulky as freight, by canning more than
the usual proportion of the crop, and
such a step should increase the English
consumption of sugar, although it will
doubtless be reflected later through
smaller imports of canned fruit from

MANY CUBAN Mills
.'''' STILL GRINDING
Production Already Greater Than
y" Eyer Before In History Of e.,
Industry &c..

WiDett's Sugar Bulletin Of May "a
states that Cuban receipts of $4,000
tons reflect the approaching end of the
campaign at the majority of eehtrals.
This brings the total production to date
TO 2,944,525 tons, or 47,95s tons over
the complete 1914 crop, the largest
previous crop, and 6l,6S0 tons over that
q last year. These crops were 1885,
567 tons and 2,5S2,s45 tons, respective
ly.
This is the first week to show Iess
than 100000 tons receipts since Janu-
airy 10, but is 1870 tons more than
for the corresponding week two years
ago, maintaining the continued superi.
GRITTY over that year. A more impor-
tant figure is the decrease in the ex-
ports. to 1880 tons north of Hatteras,
or $4,000 tons less than last week. AS
under present conditions Porto Rico
shipments are likely to show similar
falling of, the receipts, at the Atlantic
Ports will soon be less than the MEETINGS,

heavy stocks, should quickly strengthen

Stocks Pass The High Point
With exports thus exceeding the re-
ceiPts, stocks appear to have passed
their highest point, or the GAS, $50 tons
reached last week. They are now $780,
900 tons, 1900 tons below the highest
point of this year, and l61,571 tons
above the highest of previous years.
They should continue to show gradu-
ally increasing decline. The stocks and
afoats in Cuba, the U. s. Atlantic
Ports, and New orlean, together on
May 10, we estimate at l,202,643 tons,
against 1,222,55 tons last year, an ap-
proXimate decrease of 10000 tons.
The centrals show q rapid decrease of
thirty-one for the week against cor
responding decrease of thirty four two
years ago, showing that the Close is not
SO rapid as that year, and should be
less rapid than heretofore from now
on. Altogether the cable has a decided

HAWA|I'S F|L|P|NOS COULD
TEACH THEIR FATHERS

Only few cane planters in the sugar
districts Of Luzon are prepared at pres
emit to weigh their sugar cane, or even
know the area Of the land which they
have planted with sugar. They have
therefore found it difficult, if not i'm
possible, to ascertain the yield in cane
sugar and the production of the old
mills. Consequently they have been at
loss to determine whether it would be
more profitable to sell their cane to
the large milling companies, or to grind
1t ia their own smaller mills.
The Philippine bureau of agriculture
is therefore sending its sugar technol-
"gist, c. w. Hines, on a trip through
the cane producing sections of Luzon to
instruct tn" small planters, says Mani

Sugar Expert critioizes Neglect
Of Some Managers 10 Stand
ardise PraCtises
Better Get Ready Now To-
Weather Hard Times
nt Later On y,< q

A well known sugar expert who hal
recently visited most Of the sugar mill
in the Islands stated yesterday that
while a great many factories are up t
date In certain lines there are only
four that are completely standardized
throughout. It would not, of course
be strictly proper to specify these, but
three of the four are operated by ono
agency. Some of the biggest factories
are behind the times in important de
partments of mill and boiling house.
He expressed himself as very much
disappointed with the average showing
Certain mills have brought the prelimi
nary preparation of the cane for iuict
extraction up to very high degree OF
perfection only to lose what they have
gained at some other step in the pro,
cess of manufacture. Others have at,
tanned perfection somewhere else,
There are only four sugar mills in Ha,
wall, he declared, that are comparable
with the best modern sugar factories in
Cuba and Java, and two of these are
below ten-thousand tons capacity.
Have Been Confident
Hawaii has always prided itself on
the high state of scientific efficiency ap-
piled to both cane growing and sugar
manufacturer, but the industry as a
whole has still long road to travel to
become really perfect. In reply TO the
question whether signs of Stacking of
on account of prosperity were evident,
he said that he saw none.
The machinery Of production is run
ming smoothly everywhere and earnest
endeavor is in evidence now Just as IL
was before the repeal Of the "free
sugar" clause of the tariff law. The
plantation men are putting in their
best Hcks but they have not brought
production up to the maximum for
acreage cultivated and cane ground.
Time to Look Ahead
While it is difficult to epitomize the
general situation this sugar expert sug
gested as n possible reason for the ap,
parent lack of coordination on many Of
the plantations that the managers have
learned the business in the school of
hard knocks rather than through hav.
ing made q scientific study of its va
riOus branches. They have been shown
time and again but will not accept the
advice even of their own technical ex.
perts.
With abundant resources at their
command there is no good reason why
all the sugar properties in Hawaii
should not during this season of good
times and large profits be put in that
first class physical condition which will
carry them well over the period of
lower prices and depression which will
inevitably follow. This prediction that
such a period will ensue is simply in
accord with the history of the sugar in,
dustry, and now is the time to get
ready for il, he said.
