The Florida agriculturist., 1910-02-01

There are many varieties of sugar
canes. They differ in terminating pow
crS, III their ratOOnlng qualities, in the
time they take to mature, in the tonnage
per acre, in the percentage of juice in
the canes, and in the percentages of cane
sugar and glucose in the Juice. For
most of the Southern States the canes
with the shortest period of ripening are
best for sugar. In South Florida speedy
rlpening is not necessary. A cane which
requires and is allowed fourteen months
Or so of growing season will, of course,
often yield more per acre than another
kind which ripens and is harvested in
eight months In North and Central
Florida a cane, for sugar-making, should
not take more than about eight months
to ripen. The richness of the juice in
cane sugar is important for sugar
makers But juice may be too rich in
scale For syrup-making, cane with
more glucose in the juice is often pre-
ferred. The Commissioner of Agricul
ture for Florida reported the area of
sugar cane in the State, in 19O7-8, as
1907 acres, yielding 1850 barrels of
syrup, valued at $593, ,439, while only a
little over three tons of sugar was pro-
duced In 1903, the sugar and molasscs
of Louisiana were valued at over $685.
100000. 1t has been pointed out by COM
petent authorities, that the State of
Florida is suited to the growth of the
sugar cane for the manufacture of sugar
on large scale.
Varieties of Sugar Cane.
Louisiana Purple (Red) This is the
common cane of Louisiana, Georgia,
and North Florida. 1t resists cold we'll
and gives good stand. (The Striped
Purple or Red Ribbon has the same
qualities) 1t is not regarded as quite
so good for frst-class syrup as the
green cane, because of the red matter
in the rind This cane is considered
identical with the Black Java, or Black
Tanna An average Of several years
analyses at the Louisiana Experiment
Station showed 11.3 per cent of cane
sugar in the juice in that State, while
1873 tons of cane per acre were the
average yield The analysis of ten
Florida samples (Tri-county Fair, Pen
sacola, November, 1909 gave an average
of 11.3S per cent of cane sugar
Crystalline.-Much grown in North
Central Florida (Clay, Putnam and Ma
rion counties). Suited to bottom land

SUGAR CANES IN FLORIDA
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SOME OF THE VARIETIES
FOUND MOST PROFITABLE TO CULTI-
VATE IN FLORIDA
BY JOHN BELLING
BY JOHN BELLINC

Not grown so far north as the Purple
cane. Probably the same as the White
Transparent of the West Indies.
Green.-(Sometimes shows a ribbon
sport). Said to have been a very long
time in Florida. Excellent for SYRUP
making, as the syrup is of the first
quality. Inferior in terminating power.
Juice may be thinner than that of the
Purple cane The average juice (Tri-
county Fair, Pensacola, November, 1900
gave 11.8 per cent Of cane sugar.
Hawaiian.-Uarge White). Intro
duced by Aasnas, sugar boiler from
Hawaii, in 1891. Grown in Florida for
chewing cane. A slow grower.
d. 74.-An erect Seeding cane from
Demerara. introduced into Louisiana
about 1898 Juice too rich and pure
to make syrup we'll on small scale.
Excellent for sandy land in North Flor
ida. Has large buds and terminates
we'll. Good tonnage per acre Largely
planted in Louisiana, where it has been
found superior to the home Purple cane
A back number in the West Indies, aban-
doned for newer seedlings yielding more
cane sugar per acre Analysis (average)
in Louisiana, 1914 per cent of cane
sugar; yield Of canes 80 tons per acre.
Analysis at Tri-county Fair, 14.7 per
cent of cane sugar.
d. 95.-A purple erect Seeding from
Demerara. Introduced into Louisiana
with D. "a Inferior in Louisiana and
Florida to D. "A. Does not stand
drought we'll Analysis (average) in
7 O11iCi1n1 Of coma c110or. 1y;o1d Of
canes, 31.7 tons per acre.
Japanese Cane - Introduced from
Japan to Louisiana Yields a good grade
of syrup, but the expense of stripping
is great. Yielded IS tons of cane per
acre on dry land at the Florida Expert
ment Station (19O9). The average of
eight analyses of juice at the Florida
Experiment Station in 1909 showed 1874
per cent of cane sugar
B. 147.-A yellow Seeding cane from
Barbados (Florida Experiment Station,
1909 Has long period of ripening.
Suited to frostless regions. Grown in
some places in the West Indies. Aver
age for ten years (189S-19O7) in Bar
bados cane sugar nearly 10 per cent;
yield of canes per acre, 1873 tons.
B. 2OS.-A stout, upright yellow seed
ling cane from Barbados (F1orida Ex-
pertinent Station, 19O9). A famous cane,
$3.50 acres of which were grown in
Demerara in 1908. It has given very
heavy yields in Jamaica and Australia.
1t is an early ripener, and from the
purity of its juice may be suitable for
sugar manufacture in Florida In Bar
bados it gave (average of ten years), %
per cent of cane sugar in the juice, and
25H tons of cane per acre. Its juice
contained 3.4 tons of sugar per acre
Analysis at the Florida Experiment Sta
ton, after six months growth, showed
17.3 per cent of cane sugar in the juice.

Most men think they are too busy
to "fool with the scales at milking time.
So they guess what their COWS give

scales can guess closer than any of us.

SUIT Is IN COURT
Jury is Hopelessly Tied in the $500.
600 Case Involving the Wealthy
North Caro,iniar.

rCRHAM. n. C., March 23.--At d!
O'Clock tonight the jury trying the
last OF the known Brodie-Alice Webb
litigations, involving 100000 on a
note held by the Texas National
Bank OF Dallas. found itself hopeless
ly disagreed and was locked up for
the night.
Duke took the stand OH his own
behalf this morning and said that the
paper. which has his name on both
its face and back. was executed pend
ing his investigation of Miss Webb
Texas company purpOrting to develop
tobacco lands. When he was taken
to a New York sanitarium, he said
the paper was distracted and he
knew nothing of it until recently
when Durham bank asked for pay
ment of the notes.
The testimony developed that Miss
Webb had not secured the face of
the note from the bank. but put il up
as collateral TO secure a portion of a
$4,000 note held by the bank.
Little bearing on the sensational
past of the two was brought out.
