CULTIVATION OF THE OTAHEITE
CANE IN GUADELOUPE.


The Guadelpupe Chamber of Agriculture has
drawn up the following report to be forwarded
to the Chamber of St. Denis (Reunion). which
had as ked for information respecting the me-
thods of planting and cultivation in use in the
West Indian Islands.
The Otaheite cane is the one most generally
cultivated in Guadelo pc, and has always been
preferred. For some years however, a sort of
degenerate on las been noticed i'll this cane, UNI

those plants whic b were destined for the fresh
plantations made during the time when cut
ting was suspend ed, viz: October, Novt mber
and December, were almost always taken from
the worst plots. Worn out, diseased and i'm
properly cultivated ca mes can certainly be no
thing but ad producers, and we should not
have had to wait long before total ruin set in,
had we not found a remedy for the evil
For the last five years we have set ourselves
to work to rrsenerate the good Otaheite cane
by proper selection Of plants, and are in a
position to affirm that the minute attention
which we have paid to this subject has a-
ready been largely rewarded. The head-shoots
and cuttings bud with a strength and luxuri-
ance which delight our planters, and give them
cause to hope that be fore long the Otaheite

The following is our mode of proceeding
for these two kinds OF planting: We make
use of head-shoots and of shoots will two di-
visions Of cane attached, after the leading
shoot has been cut of. We %confine ourselves
to the two divisions having noticed that the
third produced defe ctive buds, undoubtedly
because it is less rich in sap than the two first.
The plants are always chosen from the best
canes, !. e., the first and secontl growths of
planted canes. In order not to strip the plots,
thes Q are chosen from the outside of the plots,
in the first row. The canes there are better
developed, they stand thick on the sNpols, and
supply plants infinitely superior to those grow
ing inside; this fact is explained by the ac-
ton of the sun and the.air, and also by thelarger
space which these first rows have for the
growth. We choose the best out of the eighteen
or twenty canes of which the stools are gene
rally composed, taking about half; We COM
mence by cutting of the heads of the plants,
and, five or six days after this operation, the
time for putting them in the ground is indicat-

them to swell.
The first length is cut with a length Of four
teen to sixteen inches, the next two Gu tings
