In favourable localities the Elephant cane, where it has been tried, throws im- 
mense canes looking almost like clumps of bamboos : the yield per acre has not, 
however been quite equal to the show of the canes, but it has yielded at the rate of 
two,t o two and-a-half tons of sugar per acre, whjch is far beyond the average of ordi- 
nary canes in Jamaica.'’
