ILOILO

1351

amounted to 72,960 tons (7310 tons less than in 1904), the entire crop being sold at unprecedentedly high prices, Tobacco is also largely cultivated. Rice is grown on a considerable scale, but locusts are very plentiful in the island, and often do great damage to the cane and paddy. Earthquakes seldom occur, and now-a-days typhoons are rare in the district of Hoilo, Hoilo is about 250 miles distant from Manila. The principal traders are Chinese mestizos, who are very numerous in the port.

The island of Negros is extremely fertile and contributes three-fourths of the sugar shipped from Hoilo, the quality of which is excellent. The cultivation of hemp on a larger scale has been commenced on this island.
