26 BULLETIN 829, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
Figure 5 shows a row of Kavangire cane on the left; a susceptible 
variety, G. C. 1070, at the center; and a diseased but tolerant variety, 
Java 56, on the right. Unfortunately, the Kavangire variety is a 
long-season cane and therefore not suitable for conditions inLouisiana. 
The possibility of breeding more early maturing varieties from these 
parents is being investigated. 
Several of the broad-leaved varieties of cane originated at the 
Sugar Cane Experiment Station at Audubon Park, La., appear to be 
immune. Although equally exposed to the contagion, no individuals 
of these varieties have become affected, while practically every plant 
of the scores of other varieties surrounding them is diseased. They 
have been under observation for too short a time, however, to 
demonstrate that their apparent immunity is permanent.
