HEEDLIXG CAXES AXD MAM RIAL EXI'Elil- MEXTS A T JIARBADOS, lunT'.i. Issued by the Imperial Commissioner of Agriculture for the West Indies. Pamphlet Xo. ()2 of the series published by the Imperial Department of Agriculture has been recently issued under this title. It contain.^, in a concise form, the results of the experiments that are described at length in the Ileport on the results of the cultivation of seedling and other canes, together with manurial experiments with sugar-cane, carried on at the experiment stations at Harbados, cluring 1907-9, which is soon to be published. The matters dealt with first are the mode in which the experiments are carried out, together with an explanation of terms used in the text: the charactei-s shown by the seedling canes in the field and in the factory: a description of the stations at which the experiments are conducted; and an account of the climatic conditions which obtained during the season under review. This introductory information is follow- ed by a .section which deals with the more important results that have been obtained with the varieties cultivated. After an explanation has been given to the effect that these re-sults only afford the means of drawing temporary conclusions from one year's work, it is shown that the best returns, on the black soils, have been obtained with ,i)l.'>, followed by ,,450, though, in justice to the last mention- ed cane, it is explained that it would probably have occupied an even better position, but for the fact that it met with untoward conditions on several of the stations on which it ?was grown.
