Northern Sugar Stations Boost and Crop Outlook
The General Superintendent inspected North Queensland cane regions returning to Brisbane. Innisfail district opened a new Sugar Experiment Station at South Johnstone opposite Santabantone Mill with 30 acres of cane and a laboratory for soils and manures analysis. Varieties from Java Hawaii Mauritius were planted, and trials started to rejuvenate older varieties. The South Johnstone works, Babinda, Mulgrave, Hambledon, and Mackay districts reported high sugar contents, patient improvements, and weather-driven yields. Shipping strikes caused mill closures, reducing output. however, renewed rains and good rainfall in several districts should aid next year’s harvest, while some regions like Mackay face disease in young plant cane and drought in others.
