The methods developed in the course of this investigation are also applicable, with but slight modification, to the cultivation of the sugarcane, and there can be little doubt but that the ultimate effect of such investigations will be to stimulate the Southern sugar-planter to similar experiments for the ascertainment of the most favorable conditions for the prosecution of his own special industry, depending on the culture of tropical cane in subtropical climates, where it never attains its fullest development, and is consequently subject to many adverse conditions unknown in the tropics. As a work of national importance, calculated directly to benefit widely separated sections of the country, it is one that has been wisely undertaken and encouraged by the Department of Agriculture, and is deserving of every aid that Congress may be willing to grant for its encouragement and prosecution.
