Here, as before, the dilution was great, owing to the water used in washing the cli'ips 

 after cells were filled. This cum- li:ul nearly a constant composition, and from glucose 

 ratio there has been little or no inversion either in cells or in concentration of sirup. 

 In fact, when water at 200 F. is sent into cells and maintained therefor six minutes 

 at this temperature little or no inversion took place, notwithstanding the weather 

 gauge showed this day a maximum temperature of 83 F. 



September 20. The following canes were selected for this run : Link's hybrid, 

 White India, White mammoth, and the second planting of Early Amber. The suck- 

 ers, of which there were many, were removed by hand. Filled nine cells. Everything 



worked well.

 juices.
