Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of Experiments in the Manufacture of Sugar by Diffusion, at Magnolia Station, Lawrence, La: Season of 1888-'89
Sir: In submitting for your inspection Mr. G. L. Spencer's report of work done at Magnolia plantation during 1888 I desire to call your attention to the advancement made in the last few years in the sugar industry of Louisiana.
In 1884 the Department established, in connection with the exposition at New Orleans, a complete sugar laboratory. At the same time the experimental diffusion battery, used by the Department in its work of the preceding year, was placed on exhibition.
During the same year the Department of Agriculture established at Magnolia plantation, Lawrence, La., a complete chemical control of the sugar factory.
In December of the same year I delivered an address before the Sugar Planters' Association of Louisiana, in which the attention of sugar growers was called to the importance of chemical control and new methods.
