  a

   what 
  inferior

  "Japanese 
  sugar 
  cane 
  is 
  now 
  quite 
  extensively 
  grown 
  in 
  Florida 
  and 
  the 
  southern 
  

   portions 
  of 
  the 
  States 
  near 
  the 
  Gulf 
  of 
  Mexico. 
  It 
  is 
  grown 
  largely 
  for 
  forage 
  and 
  to 
  

   some 
  extent 
  for 
  sirup. 
  Its 
  use 
  for 
  forage 
  is 
  rapidly 
  increasing. 
  While 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  

   used 
  successfully 
  for 
  ensilage, 
  it 
  is 
  commonly 
  fed 
  green 
  or 
  pastured. 
  Fields 
  of 
  this 
  

   variety 
  last 
  as 
  much 
  as 
  12 
  years. 
  The 
  variety 
  now 
  grown 
  in 
  the 
  Southern 
  States 
  was 
  

   introduced 
  about 
  12 
  years 
  ago. 
  The 
  present 
  variety 
  is 
  believed 
  to 
  be 
  different 
  from 
  

   that 
  originally 
  introduced."
