AVERAGE RESULTS, PLANT CANES AND FIRST RATOONS. 



Table XV gives the average results of plant canes and first ratoons 

 froci fields 2, 19, 9 and 5. Two varieties B. S. F. 12 (24) and B. 60 have 

 given better results as first ratoons than as plant canes ; with the 

 exception of B. 17380 and B. 14761 all the varieties have done better 

 than the Bourbon which practically died out after the first crop of canes 

 had been cut. Nine varieties have given higher results than B, 156 

 viz!— B. S.F. 12(24), B. H. 10(12), Ba. 7924, Badilla, L. 511, D. 109, 

 H. 227, T. 202 and B. 6308, all of which show an indicated yield of 

 sucrose of over two and three quarter tons per acre. B. 60, B.S.F. 12 (27), 

 B. 6450, Ba. 6032, B. 8922, H. 27, B. 4934 and T. 75, come next with an 

 indicated yield of sucrose of over two tons per acre.
