The varieties are of several national
tiles. having been introduced from
South Africa, Louisiana, Mauritius,
Demerara, Trinidad, and New Guinea,
and including Of course what are
known as the old Queensland varieties.
The report of the results will show that
certain New Guinea varieties, and also
varieties from Mauritius Trinidad,
and Louisiana, are at this time very
superior to the older varieties of cane
that have been grown in Queensland
for some years, both from a rniller's
and a growers point of view. Some of
these varieties at thirteen months have
yielded over so tons of cane an acre,
and as far as II tons of total sugar
per acre; so that on the whole the
work of the year in these respects has
been very satisfactory. Three years
ago, Dr. Maxwell said, he informed
the Press that he hoped to reach 10
tons of sugar an acre; and they had
passed that mark already-and with
what is known. as the short or young
crop of cane. Other matters of inter-
est, he added, would be found in the
report of the year.
..Dr. Maxwell said that he met the
of the central mills for the
of current business; but
there was nothing to state on the sub
ject. The controller would have to re-
port to the Treasurer in due time upon
the affairs and management of the sew
aral central mills under his control.
All the information required would be
furnished in full detail.
Questioned with regard to the high |
yields of sugar, DR.. Maxwell said that

Of sugar had been produced on one

ton, to get 10 tons of sugar an acre;

just reaching the results of the years
work. the analyses OF the cane being
made, and the crops being harvested
and sent to the mill: so that they now
knew just about how the experiments
for the year came out. On the whole.
the work has been extremely satisfac-
tory. The most important feature of
last years work has been the bringing
to maturity of some seventy varieties
