CHINESE. 



With miscellaneous sorghums five out of six would, if 

 manufactured, yield no practical sugar, the remaining 

 one 4.63 per cent., which is extremely small. The 

 Liberian tests were twenty-four in all ; six of these 

 would give zero sugar, etc. The other series of mis- 

 cellaneous sorghums were better as to results than the 

 first, but the difference is not sufficient to justify any 

 encouragement. The early amber, on the other hand, 

 three out of twenty-four would give zero ; with the 

 pearl millet, three out of eleven. The Honduras was 

 exceptionally worthless ; eight out of twenty-one would 

 give, as a maximum, if worked, zero sugar. 



The Chinese, sorghum, eight out of seventeen, 

 would give zero percentage of sugar. We append a 

 table in which is given a synopsis of a hundred and 

 eleven experiments above referred to, where is shown 

 the possible maximum practical sugar to be expected 

 from the said hundred and eleven experiments.
