The subject of Cane Disease was discussed by the members 
with special reference to the description of Trichosyhczria

that the most effective means of keeping in check this and 
other pests would be found in burning all cane refuse from 
affected fields.

to a paper by Ernest Francis, in Proc. Scient. Assoc. Trinidad, 
1879, page 183.
