American capital has come in and built large sugar mills or centrals, resulting in the abandonment of the many smaller mills which dotted the cane regions. The cane growers find it more profitable to sell their canes to the large centrals than to grind them in their small mills, often using oxen for power and boiling the juice in open kettles.
