SORGHUM. 



most profitably worked for sugar, since at that time the sum of the two 

 sugars is also at its maximum. For the production, then, of either 

 sugar or syrup, it is desirable that only such varieties should be grown 

 in any locality as may be able to reach full maturity.

IMPORTANCE OF PKOMFTLY WORKING THE CROP AFTER CUTTING. 



To this point, also, reference has been made already. Its importance 

 can hardly be overstated. If departure from this rule is at any time 

 admissible, it is at least safe to say, that the conditions which would 

 warrant such departure are as yet not determined. Prompt working 

 of the cane so soon as cut is always safe, and any delay is fraught with 

 unavoidable risk of loss. 



This conclusion is established, as well by the work of others as by 

 that of the Department of Agriculture.
