SUGAR IN FORMOSA
UGAR SCHEME FOR INCREASE IN PRODUCTION.
The Formosan Government hopes to supply
the whole demand for sugar in Japan within the nest-ten years, and is now working hard to increase production in Formosa. According to calculations made by the Fermosan authori- ties concerned, 120,000 cho of sugar areas will be required to obtain the supply of 700,000,000 10 800,000,000 kin of sugar now consumed in Japan., felt such an extensive area of farm lodid
cannot be devoted to the cultivation of sugar cane without prejudicing the agricultural indus try generally. For this reason, the authorities have adopted a scheme to increase the produc tion of sugar by an improvement in the method of cultivating the cane and the process of refin- ing. "Last year about 163,000,000 kin of sugar wero: abiained from 200,000,000 kio of cone. When the process of manufacture is improved, the sugar chlained will, it is estimated, bet per cent. The price of sugar cane at present is 13.30 per 1,000 kin, which will be reduced to about Y2 when the producing cost is diminish. ed and an improvement in the prethod of coli. vation obtained. When this is done, $3,000 cho of sugar cane farm will be sufficient to produce 700,000,000 to 80,000,000 kio of sugar, and the price of the commodity, now abling at Ye80, can be reduced to about-Y4 In this way, the prospects of the Formosan sugar industry are very hopeful. It is very curious to note how apt the Japanese authori- ties are to make elaborate but wholly useless calculations of ibis påture.)
