Cristalina, the principal variety of sugar cane cultivated commercially In Cuba, is an excellent, all-round cane for general plantings. This variety fails, however, to give a high yield on dry uplands, and the ratoon or sprout plants have a tendency to deteriorate rather rapidly year by year on land which has been for a very long time under cane cultivation...
...true that one or two of the drought-resistant Harvard types are occasionally slightly lower in sucrose than that of the best Cristalina fields, but this is compensated for by a higher yield in tonnage, on the poor, shallow soils, where Cristalina will not grow at all satisfactorily...
...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 on the less fertile fields, where the yield recorded was between 15.1 and 24.1 arrobas of cane per caballeria...
...Harvard canes, Hrvd No. 9072 and Hrvd No. 1192, included in the preceding analytical tests, for comparison with Cristalina, gave most satisfactory results. Hrvd No. 9072, a tenaciously rooted, drought-resistant variety, physically adapted for cultivation on the uplands, gave a cane yield of 56.2 arrobas per caballeria on a 1922 planting and a rate of 531 bags 96 degrees sugar per cab. Hrvd No.1192, on land similar to the Cristalina test, gave a cane yield of 53.990 arrobas, and a rate of 493 bags of sugar per caballeria...
Laurence Dickey '30, who has been at how in all the preliminary brushes, as a result of recent developments, appears destined to yield his how oar to De Wolf Hubbard '29, of last year's jayvee crew, who is being given a thorough test...
