OF SUGAR
IN RUSSIA REACHES
MOST ACUTE STAGE

Authentic information regarding the
existing shortage in sugar supplies in
Russia is given in statement by John
II. Stodgrass Consul.general for the
United States in Moscow, and printed
in Facts About Sugar of December 10.
Consul Snodgtass, in New York on A
trade mission to acquaint exporters
with commercial conuitions in lsussia,
said;
"'tThere is no denying the existence
Of an acute and serious shortage of
sugar in Russia, FE 4.Il Il.
at may not be generally known here,
but it is nevertheless a fact. that the
e"oar line was the first line to be
formed in that country.
'.''A As Is the case IN 50 many European
countries where supplies have been
sharply restricted, due to causes
brought about by the war, Russia has
been forced to take over the control
Of both the sources Of sugar supplies
and their distribution. At first, regula.
ton applied maiuly TO distribution, and
the per capita allowance was placed at
approximately two pounds month,
1910 uhu ivy part VI lolO.
Since then, as each month brought the
nation closer to a sugar shortage,
which now approaches serious proper.
tions, further reductions were made,
until at present the per capita allow
ance is fixed at one pound per month. {"
Consul snodgrass tells of particular
conditions in Moscow with its "sugar
lin" standing unbroken for a mile in
length all day. He points out that the
national tea drinking custom demands
sugar, and adds: &su 1890. a." !
"To what extent Russia will have
to come into the world g market for
supplies, l am not prepared to speak
authoritatively on at this time, but it
is extremely probable that the maxi
mum limit recently placed by the coun.

STANDARDIZATION or PLoW .
CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER :
FIELD IMPLEMENTS NEEDED

The mouldboard of a pillow, scienti-
hcally constructed so as to do the great
est amount of work for the least ex.
Penditure of power, should have the
same curve as the segment of an auguf
used in boring wood, As the angle Of
the augur spiral varies according TO the
sOftness or density Of the wood, so
also the spiral of the mouldboard of
the plow must vary according to the
Eature of the soil, but for the most of,
fectiye work, the spiral must be true
Starting with theoretically perfect
plow suitable to the soil the planter ex
poets to till with it, il has been proved
that speed has a good deal TO do with
draft. With any plow, AS. with any
augur- bit, the power required to do 4
certain amount Of work increases with
the speed up to u certain point, when
that point is reached the power re,
CURED to do Il given amount Of work
decreases with increasing speed.
With team blowing it is not possible
10 reach the speed where rapidity of
furrow turning decreases the proper.
tionate power required. Tractors, how.
ever, can b" speeded up to that degree
of efficiency. - J.. d..
There is also an optimum moisture
content at which draft is least. With
the soil either too dry or too wet, the
draft increases. The angle of the spiral
on which the pillow mouldboard Is con,
structed limits the depth of the fur.
row TO be turned. For these reasons
no two plantations can have uniform
success with plows of uniform pattern
because their soils are different. Each
manager must find out the tools that do
the best and cheapest work on his own
fields. There, is need fOri the establish.
ment Of standards for field work, just
as il is acknowledged that standards are
required in the mill .. r.,,. 49,.

INVENTIONS OF LOCAL SUGAR

Widespread use of the inventions OF
Hawaiian sugar men throughout the
iugnr producing countries of the world
- remarkable tribute to the progress.
i've methods of manufacture in these
Islands. IL is interesting TO note how
rapidly new kinds of machinery, the
product of Hawaiian inventive genius,
are being taken up in Cuba, Louisiana,
Porto Rico, Santo Domingo and other
sugar countries. O..
This spread Of ideas in modern meth.
DDS of manufacture from Hawaii TO
other parts Of the world is not confined
TO recent years. Some of the most inn

Messchaert Grooves Find Favor g..
James ogg, who has recently been in
Cuba, reports the extensive installation

Mr.. ogg was formerly engineer at
the factory Of the Hawaiian Agricul
tural Company, and is now superintend.
ing the erection of the new mill at the
Oahu Sugar Company. \ a..
- All the larger Cuban factories, Mr.,
Ogg states, have ordered the grooves
put in their mills. FL ..
II is probable that every mill in the
island win soon be equipped with the
grooves, has is the case here. Porto
Rico, Santo Domingo and other islands
of the West Indies where cane is
grown have made installations of the
gIoovesj aud IL Is likely that they will
find their way into every cane produc-
ing country in the world. '.....
This simple but valuable invention of
MI. Messchaert 3, who was until re-
Gently the mill superintendent of the
Oahu Sugar Company, has proven TO be
tho most successful addition to the su.
gar industry in recent years. E.
Searby Shredder In Louisiana r.. -
Another invention of a local man to
be- introduced abroad ia the Searby

This shredder was invented by Will

Invention Of the Centrifugal
1t may not be generally known that
the first centrifugal machine for drying
sugar was invented in these Islands by
David NJ. Weston some fifty odd years
ago. Mr.. Weston was at that time man
agcr Of the Honolulu Iron Works and
received his idea from a laundry dry.
ing machine
The original machine was driven
from below after the fashion of wash
ing and laundry drying machines, and
the sugar had to be scooped out from
the tor. The machine was later sus.
pended. being driven from above and
had a discharge in the bottom.
This invention of an Hawaiian en-
gineer went TO all parts Of the world
where sugar was manufactured, and
probably no other machine has done as
much to reVolutionize the methods of
manufacturing and refining of sugar.

became the president of the American
