38 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE. 



frozen cane differs from tliat prepared from cane not frozen, but in other 

 respects of like quality. 



The Early Amber, Chinese, Liberian, and Honduras Sorghums and 

 the Pearl Millet examined, mentioned as having been grown upon the 

 department grounds, were all planted the same day. May 15, 1879. 



The relative weights of the different kinds of sorghum experimented 

 upon are as follows : 



Pounds. 



Early Amljer, average of 40 stalks 1.73 



White Liberian, average of 38 stalks 1.80 



Cliincse, average of 25 stalks 2.00 



Honduras, average of 16 stalks 3.64 



Since these were all grown side by side and upon land presumably of 

 equal fertility, it will afford the data for calculating" the relative amount 

 of each variety to be growji per acre.
