1201. Anonymous. The pahn sugar industry in Bengal. Louisiana Planter and Sugar 

 Manufacturer 65 : 3—4. 1920. — The palm sugar industry is very old but is declining at present. 

 The Phoenix and Borassus palms are the ones chiefly used. Bengal produced 10,000 tons of 

 palm sugar in 1913-14. — C. W . Edgerton. 



1202. Burns, W. The drying of bananas. Agric. Jour. India 15: 166-173. 1920.— The 

 investigation shows that sun heat is sufficient for the drying of bananas and that all varieties 

 can be successfully dried. For a good color a card board screen should be used during the 

 last few days of drying. The product should be stored in air tight tins. The apparatus 

 used is a simple lattice tray which can be closed with covers. Fully ripe fruit free from skin 

 should be used. — /. J . Skinner.

 Sperim. Agrarie Ital. 53: 187-227. 1920. — This is a study of the commercial phases of the

 vestris) in the Thama District of the Bombay Presidency. Agric. Jour. India 15:525-532. 

 1920. — Experiments were made to determine the best juice suitable for gur making and to 

 get gur of solid crystalline consistency. Juice treated with formalin gave solid gur of good 

 grain; chloroform likewise gave solid gur, but with no grain. Juice treated with acetic acid 

 produced gur which was soft and sticky, of good light color, but not of good taste. Tartaric 

 acid added to juice gave a solid crystalline gur, with no change in color. The data are pre- 

 sented in tabular form, showing the effect of different processes and varying amounts of acid 

 on the qualities of gur. — /. /. Skinner.
