SUGAR CRUSHING RATE ALMOST DOUBLED

Compared with the same time last year, the Moreton Central Mill crushing tonnage has almost doubled and both harvesting and crushing are very satisfactory, said Mr. Val Thorp (general manager) yesterday.

Up to yesterday morning cane crushed totalled to 28,887 tons. Last vteek’s crushing was 7,200 ions, and it is expected that this figure will be increased by about 400 tons this week.

Average c.c.s. is 12.97. which is regarded as particularly good.
