Now Way to Grow Sugar Cnnc.


A committee of the Planters society
has made report on special mode Of
growing sugar cane which has been
tried at Havana, says the Philadelphia
Press. 1t consists of planting the cane
in rows four yards apart, each plant or
group of shoots being three yards from
the next, thus allowing the roots and
foliage full scope. Only those shoots
and pieces of cane which are full
grown are cut the smaller ones being
left to ripen. The committee says that
by this means the yield to the acre is
enormously increased. 1t is said that
the yield in weight of cane of the
piece of land on which the experiment
was made was 100 per cent greater
than is obi med by the present meth
cd, by which the cane is grown much
closer. Further experiments viii be
made
