In favourable localities the Elephant cane, where it has 

 been tried, throws immense canes looking almost like clumps 

 of bamboos : the yield per acre has not, however been quite

 ot two, to two and-a-half tons of sugar per acre, which is far 

 beyond the average of ordinary canes in Jamaica."
