^ The above canes grew in the same field — had no manure nor irriga-^ 

 tion. 



Land— clayey loam which had been in rich common for 40 years. 



Rainfall for 15 months— 64 inches 15 parts-fairly distributed and ait 

 average fall for that district. 



Extent of land covered by this report — 8 square chains — lined 

 4X4^. 



Results carefully noted, and proportion of rum fixed as correctly as 

 possible, having due regard to quantity and density of materials. 



The Rum from new varieties was of appreciably less flavour ; but 

 return of Sugar was proportionately larger ; that of rum was leai, 

 than Creole.

The above canes were planted on same soil as previous experiment 

 here reported, and adjoining. The quantity of each was too small to 

 make a detailed synopsis of return of sugar, &c., but the tons cane per 

 acre give an idea of the outturn. The gravity of juice average 24° 

 (Arnaboldi) and the average quantity of juice from one ton cane equalled 

 143 gallons, extraction 69 per cent. 



Most of the varieties were very much rat-eaten ; and those lower down 

 on the list were almost entirely destroyed by these pests. It was found 

 also that the ordinary creole "Bamboo" eane was much damaged by 

 rats ; the Black and transparent and those higher up on the list suffer- 

 ing little.
