CONCLUSIONS.

While the result of our investiga- tions to the present time with such data as we have collected from other sources will not enable us to give pos itiyc replies to many inquiries we re- ceiye. enough has been demonstrated to show that the canaigrc plant pos sesses sufficiently valuable qualities to warrant it's cultivation on large scale.
 The amount exported during the past two years shows there k a demand at paying prices for large quantities, and one of the greatest obstacles in starting an industry, introducing a new product to the trade. Is largely overcome. There is room for large industry in growing and shipping the roots in dry state, but the cost of labor in slicing and drying, the bulky condition of the product after they are thus prepared stands in the way of the most rapid development. The canaigre has. this advantage over sugar cane and tue sugar beet, 1 it can be prepared for market without expensive machinery fer manipulation but as the field of production is a long distance from places of consumption, economy in transportation demands tl,a a,t ractfon of the VaaIablp element and placing it in condensed form.
 1t is important, therefore, that ex- tract factories be established on a large scale, and that they be located on lines of transportation and where the lands in the immediate vicinity of the works may be planted to canaigre.
 Our investigations in the labratory show that there is no more difficulty in extracting the tannic acid from the roots, green or dry, than in separating sugar from cane and from beets. As in sugar-making, the extraction will have to be done on large scale and and with expensive apparatus, but the returns will justify the investment.
 The industry should be built on two lines, growing and manufacturing, the same as has been found most desider- able and profitable in sugar produc- tion

CULTIVATION.

est depends largeiy on tht >ucccSs with which it can be cultivated, this branch of the investigation received the early attention of the Station, so far as we can learn, being the first attempt to grow the plant under cul- tivation and irrigation.
 The first planting of roots was made on the University grounds in July, 1891, followed at different periods since in different soils and at several places.
 The July planted roots received but two light irrigations up to October 1, after this time water once month through the winter, just enough to wet the ground. The soil is heavy, compact, gravelly loam, that, when dry. cannot be broken up without a pick. The plants commenced growing the first of October, and blossomed and died down by the first of May. At this time the roots averaged fully three times the size of those used in planting. and the average yield was between eight and ten tons to the acre. Roots were not selected, but planted as they were gathered from the Rillito river bottom, one, two and three year old roots, in rows three feet apart and one foot in the drill. There was wide variation in the quan- tity of new roots produced per hill, showing that larger yield would have been secured by selection of seed and rejection of the older roots.
 This planting was made on new, mesa soil that had not been previous ly cultivated. Cultivation consisted in following irrigation with a cultiva- tor, loosening the soil between rows.
 The average content of tannic acid contained in the new roots is giy- en under Chemical Examination, set ting forth the per centagc of jamie acid in roots gathered from various places in the Territory. but in all cases tie samples are taken from entire hills containing roots oi from one to three years growth, but the greater part was more than one year old.
 The cultivated new roots. of ono years growth, in the dry condition contained a3 to 2 per cent of tanniC acid.
 The wild roots contained on the ay craze s0.5 per cent. of jamie acid but these were mostly old roots.
 The cultivated roots seem to b' gradually increasing in tannin. run ming up to 2s per cent. in January from which we infer there is no sef ious decrease. if any, in the conten; of jamie acid due to forcing the rooti to larger growth by irrigation ant cultivation.
 Plants planted after January yield ed but a light crop of new roots while those planted in March produc ed scarcely any growth, aithougl leaves were developed and a some what stunted seed stalk.
 The late roots of last spring hay formed promising crop of new root this winter, but promise not muci more than those planted the earl part of last October.
