There is no trace of the different classes as regards cane juice, met with in 

 the Pansahi group. These varieties thus will present comparatively little 

 difficulty in sampling, as far as regards class of cane, and it is probable that 

 many of the thick canes resemble them in this character. 



There is no doubt as to the great improvement in the character of the seed- 

 lings grown on the farm in each successive season. The accompanying table 

 gives the general average of the sucrose coiitent in each lot of canes raised 

 in 1913-15, which may be compared with the table on p. 1j3 of the 1912-14 

 results. From a j)erusal of the list of canes used as parents {cf. section on 

 Enumeration of Seedlings), it will be gathered that this improvement is mainly 

 due to the higher cla^is of the latter.
