i Total acreage. 177 acres with an average of 36.9 tons of cane i>er acre. 
• Fields at Santoni, Romana, and New Corsica were not numl>ered. 
The sugar in cane was 10 percent or more in 21 fields and was 
than 10 percent in only 4 fields. In some instances nearly 12 percent 
was secured in late November. Omitting from consideration the 
data for Isabela, which because of different conditions were not 
strictly comparable with those from Coloso, the results with first 
ratoons of P.O.J. 2878 were encouraging. One field of ratoons pro- 
duced 46.77 tons per acre of cane, and another 52.68 tons. In pro- 
duction of sugar, calculated on a monthly pro rata basis, these ratoon 
fields exceeded 0.4 ton per month. Only 4 gran-cultura fields equaled 
this cane production and only 2 yielded as much BUgar per month. 
Data for the L932 crop at Coloso on the behavior of P.O.J. 2878 in 
30 fields totaling 411 acres are shown in tables 15 and 16.
