IV. The effect of locality on the (jrowth of the 



DIFFERENT VARIETIES. 



A similar table has been prepared to indicate tlie comparative vigour of 

 growth of each variety in each locality, from which an idea may be obtained 

 as to the relative advantage of growing it there. This takes no account of 

 the class of canes usually grown, nor of the character of the juice or gur 

 produced, both of which \\\\\ be of considerable importance in a final 

 decision. 



Table III. 



In studying this table, the previous one must be held in view, namely, 

 that showing the general vigour of growth of all the varieties tested. A 

 variety comparatively well grown among the local canes of a place, may 

 otherwise appear low down in the list, owing to the poor growth of canes in 

 general in it. The method should af!ord a ready and accurate means of testing 

 the advantage of introducing a new kind. According to the table : — 



Saretha grows well at Taliparamba. Aligarh and Nagpur ; moderately 

 well at the Cane-breeding Station and on the Coimbatore 

 Central Farm ; poorly at Samalkota ; and ])adly at Pusa and 

 Partabgarh. 

 Chin grows well at Taliparamba, AHgarli and Slt.ahjali,anpur ; model ately 

 at Nagpur and the Coimbatore Central Farm ; poorly at the 

 Cane-breeding Station ; and badly at Samalkota and Partabgarh. 

 Khari grows well at Taliparamba, Samalkota and Aligarh ; moderately 

 at the Coim))atore Central Farm, Nagpur and Sabour ; poorly 

 at Shahjahanpur ; and badly at Partabgarh and the Cane-breed- 

 ing Station. 

 Pansahi grows well at Taliparamba and Sabour ; modeiately at the 

 Coimbatore Central Farm and Samalkota ; poorly at Partabgaih 

 9,nd the Cane-breeding Station.
