General Averages for each Stage in 1880. 



The following table, deduced from the results of 2,739 analyses of sor- 

 ghum canes, made at Department of Agriculture, Washington, presents, 

 in a condensed form, a very correct idea as to the actual development 

 of the cane itself, and of the changes in the juice. 



Among the points of most practical interest may be mentioned the 

 following : 



1st. The changes in height, weight, diameter, and total and stripped 

 weight, are not sufficiently important to require comment. 



2nd. The percentage of juice extracted from the stripped stalks 

 gradually increases up to the eleventh stage, then slowly diminishes 

 until the close of the season. 



3d. The specific gravity of the juice, the percentage of sucrose, the 

 percentage of solids not sugar, and the available sugar, regularly in- 

 crease (with but one or two exceptions^ until the close of the season ; 

 and the percentage of glucose in the juice as steadily decreases from 

 the first. 



It will here be noticed, that the sucrose increases in the juice much 



more rapidlv than do the solids not sugar; and this fact, taken together
