The most encouraging feature connected with the Eio Grande experi- 

 ments is not found in the composition of the cane so much as in the 

 quantity of it which can be grown per acre. The large tonnage ob- 

 tained enabled Mr. Hughes to get more sugar per acre with 72 percent, 

 extraction than was made at Fort Scott with 93 per cent. With a good 

 extraction in the battery, the yield at Rio Grande could have been in- 

 creased fully 20 per cent.
