Cane is king in balmy Cuba. Foreeasts of the coming- crop dace it at 8,400,000 tons. The annual averape value of Cuban puErar prior to the war was $160,00(1,000. The first year of the war raised this to $2J5.000.000 Now it is expected that the crop wi!! po $275,000,000. The a are 2.500.000 people in Cuba. A sinele croD in th

United States bearing this per capita

ton moVuI locomotives and strings of cane cars that would extend for miles if placed in c sing-le line There ate wharves, docks, a lumber mill, foundry, etc., besides the bip suar mill. The rlsnt has a capacity of 3.700 to S.1'00 tons of cane each day It produces fro n 2,.r00 to 3,000 baps of stifrar a day A hacr of crude

No other export from any Latin- J plant can produce, therefore, fr.0.(utf

American country fquals that of

Cuban cane fields. fhrousrhout the u?ar districts are to be seen Hat cars loaded with the huge machinery required for the rrejt million dollar mills. Millions are sometimes expecded in equipment to get the cane to th3 mills. Thousands of men. armed with macheres, attack the fields of a big plantation, in great squads. A Dumber of men come into Cuba every year for the cane cutting seaion which lasts from the middle of December tc the middle of summer, but the labor available for the sugar industry is net sufficient. Ic fact, the shortage of labor today in Cuba is the ereat handicap for any further extension of the sugar business in the island At the great sugar plant at Preston. Cuba, there are 87 miles of standard gauge rock ballasted rail roac extending from the cane fields to the factory. There are eleven 45-

Ibs. of suear everv 24 hours, enou 'h

to swet'ten the cn:?ee. milk, or chocolate of everybody in the United States. To keep this factory supplied with cane is a man's-sized job Trains of cut cane are fed into the factory on bedule time. On the other hand t is the duty Df the factory superintendent to grind his cane as soon a it comes in and the big plant booms along in the bright Cuban moonlight just as hard as by day At the Preston plant two 25-ton electric cranes take a whole load of cane out of a car anc weigh it while it u suspended in the air. From the hopper the cane ts earned by a cane conductor to a giant Tusher where the stalks are submitted to a pressure of 2;"0 tons After thii it passes thrcugh the rolls of the mill which xi smoother than those of the crusher and where it is submitted to 600 tons pressure. The cane after being crushed is called baggose and goes to the furnaces to

make steam to operate the factory, where a total of 6,000 horsepower ia generated. The cane juice is thn conveyed to thi: li'iung t.mks which art- a feature of the Loili:'.: liou.e The lime neutralizes the ai.-:d in the cane juice. The juice then gs through an elaborate course of pnr.fira tins! and evaporation, through giant vats, crv-,tal-iiers juice headers, defecators, vacuum pans scum tanks, centrifugal and

Kother appliances

But i t a great --""ar plant, neither the cane fie'ds nor tl.t factory tell the whole storv The biggest problem is the human equat;on One of the first teps in the building of a grpat sugar nlart in the semi-tropics is the establishment of adequate health measures At Preston, which is named after Mr Andrew W Preston, president of the L'r.'ted Fruit Company, there is a modern hospital and clinic branches of the latter extending throughout the cane growing district; there are two churche; and a school; there is a milk pasteurizing nlant; there is a garbage incinerator to burn up all garbage collected during each day; ther- is a pure water system with vq.tpr pumped into every home The hospital has nurses' Quarters, orderlies quarters, cement operating room, surgical ward, conttgicus hosmtal. drntul clinic and other features. The town is as healthy as any in Cuba if not in the world.
