other crop not injured by fresh appli-
cations of manure. In this way needed
humus may be supplied cheapiy to the
soil
Like the bagasse, the skimmings are
now largely wasted on most farms
With proper precautions 1t is believed
that the clear portion of these conld
be used for strip making without III
hiring the quality of the product. An
other method is to feed the skimming>
while fresh to hogs, or, II suitable ap
paratus is at hand, they may be boiIe'
down TO a thick molasses-like fec
which is available for the stock at any
time OF the year and is greatly reiished.
The cost of producing cane for slrup
is enhanced by the fact that the crop
can be grown proftably only on good
! Hand. In the case of the farmer, how
ever, who grows only a small acreage,
| it is possible to select for the cane crop
an acre which has been favorablY
treated in previous years. 4 very good
practice is to precede the cane with
crop of corn and cowpeas, blowing the
latter under. A fouryear rotation now
practiced in many sections consists OF
two successive years Of corn and COW
peas, blowing under the peas each time,
then two years of cane. Very good
results are also obtained from manurlng
n field heavily for sweet potatoes and
in the succeeding year planting to cane
The quantity of manure available for
this plan can be increased by working
the cane bagasse into manure and leaY
ing it to rot for the year. In general
it may be said that practically all the
soils used for sugar cane are very re
spOnsive to increases in the humus con
tent and that the alert farmer will take
every opportunity to add this by plow
ing under vegetable matter. Where this
is done Systematically, the cost OF fer
tilizer, now an important item in the
total cost of producing sirup, may be
materially reduced.
Sugar cane, the bulletin points out
is not propagated successfully from
seed, seed. The commercial method is
to plant the stalks either in whole OF
in part of the plants. If the rootstocks
are left in the ground they will produce
in the succeeding year another crop
/ known as a stubble or tatoon crop.
This, however, rarely makes as good a
crop Yield as the first or "plant cane
! crop, and if the stubble is left another
year the second ration crop Is usually
still smaller. In practice il has been
found that it is rarely profitable to at
tempt to secuer more than three. The
amount of cane required for planting
is so great as to constitute a heavy
drain upon the production. The bull
letin points out that this is a strong
incentive for undertaking experiments
that rea more resistant to disease and
that will consequently not require such
frequent replanting.
The bulletin also discusses in detail
the methods Of preparing the land
cuitivating and harvesting the crop
and cost Of making the strip.
