This estimate is subject to reei-

The production in 1916 was es-
timated at 100000 short tons, and
in 1915 1877, 500 short tons.
Indications are that the crop OF
1917 is the shortest since 1910,
with the exception of the crops Of
1912 and 1915.
The cane used for sugar in 1877
is estimated at 5000, 900 short tons.

tons in 1916.
There was an estimated increase
of IL per cent in the planted acre
