1449. Anonymous. Cultivation and fertilizing. Bundaberg Field Day. Australian Sugar 

 Jour. 13: 215-216. 1921. — A report is given of the experiments in operation at Margam, the 

 local experiment station at Bundaberg. These demonstrated that in that region cane planted 

 close together in rows 5 feet apart gave the greatest tonnage in comparison with (the same 

 variety being used and the same treatment given) cane planted 6 and 7 feet apart. In con- 

 nection with fertilizing, as far as this district is concerned, liming of the red soils had not 

 shown adequate results either in the growth or the value of the cane produced. One plot 

 ^to which green manure and 1 ton of lime had been applied produced at the end of 24 months 

 ^a crop of 16.77 tons of D. 1135 cane per acre containing 2.39 tons C. C. S. (cured centrifugal 

 sugar). Another plot, to which lime but no green manure had been given, yielded 15.SS tons 

 of cane per acre, equaling 2.09 tons C. C. S. A 3rd plot, receiving neither lime nor green 

 manure, gave 19.42 tons of cane, equivalent in sugar yield to 2.08 tons C. C. S. — C. Rumbold.
