not seem to trouble the Experiment Plots at St. Augustine to any 

 great extent so that relative resistance cannot be well studied here, 

 but so far as observations have been made the following recently intro- 

 duced canes seem worthy of more extended trial.

To summarise, no variety of cane at present grown in Trinidad is 

 immune to " Blight." Uba and Badilla are more resistant than the rest 

 and a few recent introductions are worthy of more extended trial. As 

 evidence shows that there is considerable variation in resistance particu- 

 lar attention should be paid to this in the future with respect to new 

 varieties imported, and particularly in connection with the present 

 work of the Department of Agriculture in raising new varieties from 

 i?eed in Trinidad.
