BONUSES IN 1917

Estimates made by the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association indicate
that the plantation companies will
expend 100000 as bonus payments
10 the laborers. Last year the
amount disbursed was approximately
$4,000, 900. 1t is pointed out that
with an, increase In bonus payments
the agitation of the Japanese labor
'ers for an increase of their wages
will be partly met.
During the present bonus season"
the average price for raw sugar has
been 5.771 cents a pound or $il5.40
p ton At present quotations the
price is $140.40 but seventy per cent
Of the crop has already been shipped
md 1t Is uncertain how long present
prices will prevail, bot N II safe to
assume that there Will be no falling

time for the season average
Plantation labor received as a
bonus sixty per cent Of the salary
paid to it last year. This year the
average price of sugar has been high

age will be sixty-six instead of sixty.
This is based on. the average price
OF sugar to date and as the average

BEET SUGAR CROP
. INCREASES IN U. S.

., Although estimates of the Cuban
sugar crop for the last three or four
months have shown decreases, the es-
Inmates for the beet sugar harvest in
the United States have considerably
Increased, says the Manufacturer. Cal
ifornia will probably rank first among
the states this season as a producer
Of beet sugar.
: II is announced that 100000
worth of new beet sugar factories,
mostly in the area west OF the MlS-
souri, river, are being constructed in
the limited States. This means vast
increased acreage in sugar beets. Fig
ures, recently compiled show that beet
sugar produced in the United States
grew from 5,O00,5OO pounds in 1890 to
I56, OC0, 900 pounds in 1900, l,025,0OO.-
600 in 1910, and ,642,O00,0 900 in 1916.
In 1916 the production was only
GIG. 0O6, 900 pounds, and formed only
10 per cent of the sugar consumption
of the United States. In 1916 1t was
1912, 100000, or nearly 20 per cent OF
Ehe consumption.
The present reports as to the num-
Der of factories likely to be available
in the coming season indicate still
further increase in the percentage
which domestic beet fields will supply
of the sugar consumption of the Unit
cd States. The growth Of the beet
sugar industry in the United States
has been extremely rapid. The capt.
tai of the beet sugar factories is shown
nv census reports at $50, 10000 in
1899 and $142.1S1 600 in 1914. and
seems likely 10 reach the $2"0,"00,-
600 line in 1917. since the number
Of factories operated in 1915 was p
rer cent greater than in 1914, and
this larger total is again tC be in
creased by Is new factories now I'M
der construction. The total value OF
the beet sugar output which was, &C
cording to the census. $91,%24" 900 IN
1899 and S62,605,000 in 1914, seems
from the best available statistics to
have Appropriated s1oo,o0onon in
1916.
Should the rate Of production in
crease in proportion to the growth IN
number and capacity or sugar mills
il is not improbable that the beet
fields may produce - per cent OF the
consumption of 1871, compared with
90 per cent in 1916 and 10 per cent
in 1906. This estimate as to the
