increase in the resulting sugar
produced. In molasses produc-
ton, 1876, TAO gallons have been
produced thus far in 1858 in
comparison with 1895 at the
end Of the 32nd day of opera
ton last year, or an increase
of 1879.
Several reasons were given
for the increases. Good grow
ing weather was one. Another
was the later start of grinding
this year and a consequent
better maturing of the cane.
These factors have reflected
themselves in an increased SUI
crosse content which at the
moment is 1920 compared
with 1O.47% last year. This
means that the Bethlehem
factory is getting 1875 pounds
of sugar per ton of cane to
date compared w t h 173
pounds last year, an increase
of 14%.
A third factor is the purity
of the juice. This is analysed
by establishing a ratio be-
tween the sucrose content and
the "Brix," or percentage of
solids in the cane juice. The
ratio figure for 1852 was 1888.

To date this year it is 1890
and it was pointed out that
every point of increase in
purity is of great Importance
in increasing the amount of
sugar produced from each ton
of cane.
These record-breaking pro-
duction figures were accom-
plished despite there having
been 14% more time lost in
factory operations. Despite
this lost time the furnace in
stallations and other changes
made in recent months have
increased production efficien-
cy and with all Of the boilers
now operating properly it
should increase even more.
Losses from the fire on
February 18th when $3.50 tons
of cane, part Of which was

growers, was damaged was
held to a minimum. The entire

Greco dances with Senorita de
Ronda and Elba Ocampo. This
is another Irritation dance and a
comedy masterpiece which shows
another, and winning, side of
the talents of Greco and his
leading feminine performer.
The two big numbers Of the
second act. however, are the SEN
sational "El Cortijo," the horse
mems dance. which displays the
fiery brilliance of Greco's chore-
ography; and the "Rincon Fla
menco," the elaborate gypsy fes-
tival number which must be the
most spirited jam session the
dance has ever achieved. The
entire troupe participates in this
f1amboyant finale which leaves
the company and the manage
ment with the problem of getting
the audience to go home.
AS a show, Greco's production
is, like the man himself, in a
class by itself, a comment which
also goes for Pianist Roger Ma
chado, Guitarist Jeronimo Viii
larino and Vocalist Chinin de
Triana.

While Greco is the dominant
figure, and the most popular per-
former in his company. he is
Snowman enough to keep his pro-
gram in perfect balance. He
dances two solos and one comedy
trio in his present program. re-
serving the rest of his sensational
appearances to the ensemble
numbers.
The first Of the solos is an
elegant item, ''Danza del Con-
trabandista," the second, Cana"
gypsy number to guitar ac-
compartment and one perfectly
conceived to display the masters
whiplike movements and light
ming footwork. The margin Of
popularity of Greco'S own dane
ing was just enough to give him
his deserved tribute as the great
est of male Spanish dancers for
everything else on the program
obviously contributed to the to-
tai delight.
An enormous element in the
charm of a Greco company pro-
gram is its emphasis upon the
folk and flamenco numbers.
There is a scorn for the subtle
and sophisticated in these which
is irresistibly contagious. What
the Spaniards have to say, they
say loudly and clearly and
whether it is huomorous, amor
Gus. whimsical. or violent the eff
feet is instant and entertaining.
The first part Of the program
reaches a crescendo in Senorita
de Cordoba's and Juanele Maya's
flamenco, "Cante Jondo," q fine
abandoned number which shows
what dancing means 10 a Span
ish gypsy. It is followed by q
delicately modulated Irritation
piece by two others of the superb
Greco talents, those Of Lola de
Ronda and Luis OlivareS. The
highlight of the first portion of
the program. however, remains
the lovely Ravel Bolero with it's
beautiful display of the con-
trasting styles of Spanish dance.

Lightning Fire
Destroys Big Barn
Building On Hill Farm Near Milford
Struck Monday Morning

According to some of our older
residents never have they expert
enced an electrical Storm more
saRere, than the one that lowered
over this area for over two hours
last Sunday night and early Mon

The lightning that played over the
heavens constantly during the
storm, was full of heat, and a bolt
struck the large dairy barn on the
property of George l. Hill on the
MilfOrd-Harrington Road, tenanted
by his son Lawrence, and in a short
period of time the building was
fully ablaze from one end to the
other.
Both the Milford and Houston
volunteer fire companies were sun,

the spread of the flames to adjOin-
ing and adjacent buildings
Throughout their battle with
the flames, the firemen were ham
