A subsidy of Y45,000 was granted to the sugar industry in Japan proper for the sop- port of an instituties for experiments in sugar- refsing competitive exhibitions, &c |--MP Shimo-oka; Director- of the Agrical.. tural⠀ ⠀⠀ "Bureau · in Formosa, said that A scheme for the protection of the sugar: Steam Launcher of Binal or Wood, Lighters, Steel Buildings and Roof, Bridge jadustry in Japan' proper, was under coo asth March 5PM.
