NEWLY INTRODUCED AND OTHER VARIETIES. 



The results of the first ratoons in Field 13, are given under 

 Table XI. Twenty-one varieties were planted in October, 1919, and 

 the plant canes reaped in May, 1921, at 19 months of age. The 

 canes were reaped as first ratoons in April, 1922, when they were 

 eleven months old. The two best varieties B. 6308 and H.? have 

 given a very high yield of canes for ratoons viz : 37'04 and 36*37 tons 

 per acre and they show an indicated sucrose in the juice of 4'04 and 

 4" 01 tons per acre respectively. 



The next best varieties are the Badilla and B.H. 10 (12), both of 

 which have given an indicated sucrose in the juice of over 3 tons per 

 acre. Good results have also been obtained for B. 4934, Ba. 6032, 

 B. 347, B. 14761. B. 6388. Ba. 7924 and B.S.F. 12 (24).
