INDIA'S 1918-19 CROP 



The first official forecast of the sugar- 

 cane crop of India for the 1918-19 season 

 is based upon reports received from 

 Provinces that contain 99 per cent of the 

 area under cane in British India. The 

 total area planted is estimated at 2,550, 

 000 acres, which is practically the same 

 as the estimate (2,552,000 acres) for the 

 1917-18 season. 



Seasonal conditions at sowing time 

 were not very favorable in the important 

 cane-growing Provinces, and owing to the 

 delayed rains the prospects of the crop 

 are still uncertain in the greater part of 



the United Provinces, which contain more 

 than half the cane area of British India. 

 Rain is badly needed in the Punjab. 

 Elsewhere prospects are generally good.
