Abstract
THE Agricultural Journal of India (vol. vii., part iv.) contains several articles which testily to the assiduity with which various questions are being investigated. Dr. C. A. Barber contributes a paper on seedling canes in India, and gives a brief outline of the chief phases in the cane-sugar industry and the causes which led to the raising of seedling canes in Java and Barbados. Similar work has been carried out in India, and records are being accumulated, in order to afford data for a general classification of the canes of the country. Difficulty was experienced in procuring sugar-cane arrows with a fair proportion of anthers containing fully matured pollen; in fact, the only native cane possessing this property was the Cheni of Mysore.
