Java's Sugar Production.

Java is such fruitful land that one
hesitates to specify the principal crop,
but it is one Of the great sugar-pro-
ducing countries Of the world The
annual export of sugar amounts to
something like 100000 tons. People
are so accustomed to thinking of sugar
in terms of pounds that nearly 2,00O,-
600 tons of sugar seems to have a stu
pefying effect on the mind. There are
more than 100000 acres of land under
cultivation in sugar on the island OF
Java and the average yield per acre is
four and one-half tons, which Is yield
that is high above the average Of
