In this, like all other cases, the want of facilities 

 was the main and principal excuse for not obtaining 

 sugar. 



In June of 1881, Mr. Le Due's second sorghum 

 pamphlet appeared. This gives 3,601 analyses made 

 during 1880. The various stages of the growth of the 

 sorghum are graphically represented. The hybrid 

 grown in California was, however, omitted, for rea- 

 sons not explained. We have, with considerable care, 

 measured from the graphical plates, at intervals of ten 

 days (during the entire investigation), the amount of 

 practical sugar possible to obtain from these various 

 varieties. This has been tabulated.
