Recent normal juice analysis conducted in the Soledad Laboratory on a commercial scale, in combination with tests in field tonnage, showed that Cristalina cane cut from moderately fertile land, rating between 24.146 and 54.1 arrobas (25 pounds each) of cane per caballeria, produced from 290 to 457 bags (325 pounds) of 96 degrees sugar per cab. The shallow uplands and older fields of Cristalina produced from 165 to 257 bags per cab. The decrease in quantity from the shallow uplands was due not so much to an inferior quality of juice as to an inferior growth of the cane plant...
...ratoon fields of both of these Harvard variants, planted side by side with Cristalina, have always shown superior yields and a much slower depreciation in field value: consequently they require replanting less frequently, which is an important consideration, as new plantings usually cause the loss of a harvest and an outlay of $2,000 to $2,500 per caballeria...
...cane for general planting on the more fertile lands, Hrvd No. 12.029 is, without doubt one of the very best varsities ever produced, regarding both field tonnage and percentage of sucrose in the juice. The average yield of cane per caballeria is at least 15 percent greater than that of Cristalina, growing under similar agronomic conditions, and, as it is a more persistent grower, the fields do not need replanting so frequently. The cane stalks are solid and of greater weight than Cristalina. A sample of 22 carloads of this cane averaged 239 arrobas per car heavier than an equal...
...polo match between the University and Freshman teams for the championship of the University, postponed from Saturday on account of the illness of Captain R. B.

Burnett will be in the saddle at No. 2 position when the teams go on the field, according to Major J. B. Wogan of the Military Science Department, coach of the Crimson polo forces. Six chukkers will be played, and small admission fee will be charged, proceeds of which will go toward defraying shipping expenses to the intercollegiate matches at Rye next month...
