NO DISEASE IN CANE HERE-TEN
MONTH CANE EXCELS THAT OF
ANY OTHER SECTION WHERE
THE EXPERT HAS VISITED.

1hat~ Sugarcane at ten months growth
on Brownsville sugar plantations
surpasses any zane grown in the United
States and Porto Rico, and also that the
sugar cane near Brownsville shows no
disease. are the very reaSsuring state
ments made by John r. Johnston. expert
IN sugar-cane diseases, in the employ of
the agriculture department, who is now
visiting the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
for the purpose Of Investigating the con
dition of the sugar-cane growing here.
Mr.. Johnston IS a pathologist in plant
life. His home is at Rio Piedras. Porto
Rico, where he has been connected with
the experimental station conducted by
the Porto Rico Sugar Producers .Asso-
citation, having had every opportunity
to study the diseases which affect this
important product.
Mr.. Johnston spent Monday visiting
Mr.. ROrkc, manager of the Shaw plan
tatiOn near Brownsville. where there is
4 large acreage of sugar-cane. now about
ten months old. To a Herald represen-
tative last evening he expressed sur
prise at the very flo~urishing condition Of
the cane on the Shaw plantation. which
he did not hesitate to pronounce superb
or to any ten-month old cane that he had
seen growing elsewhere i'm this country
as well as in Porto Rico.
Il have found this cane both flourish
ing and healthy" said Mr.. Johnston. II
am simply amazed. There is no evidence
of disease in it. and, although | found
some borers, they seem to do no serious
damage. and are not half so bad as at
other sugar plantations which I have
visited in other states"
Mr.. Johnston was mort favorablv i'm
pressed with the outlook for the sugar
industry in the Valley. He left this
morning for San Benito and other points
mp the Valley. where the, sugar industry
is also an important feature.
