Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station, 1933 The loss per cane due to drying out of arrowed cane tops is esti -mated to be approximately four times as great for either of these J avan varieties as for Mayaguez 28 in fields where the latter blos soms. The advantage of Mayaguez 28 over p.o.j. 2725 is often greater than this, however, since arrowing is often practically nil for Mayaguez 28 in localities where p.o.j. 2725 blossoms profusely. Due to its comparative freedom from pith or hollow centers, Mayaguez 28 canes have a high specific gravity. At Coloso and Mayaguez they proved nearly one tenth heavier than water, whereas those of p.o.j. 2725 barely equaled water in weight. The combina tion of high sucrose content and high specific gravity results in low transportation costs per ton of sugar for Mayaguez 28. This item of expense is important where canes must be hauled 10. To 15 miles. Adaptability on I sabela red clay - Trial plantings made in 1931 demonstrated the adaptability of Mayaguez 28 to the friable red clay soil of Isabela. This soil is so loose that irrigation water soon after application drains away rapidly from below. On such soil a variety having a. Strong root system, drought-resistant foliage, and ability to cover the ground rapidly is required. Mayaguez 28 met all these requirements. At Isabela its foliage proved to be very drought resistant, its root system developed rapidly and functioned well even when deprived of irrigation water, and many and broad leaves covered the ground even more rapidly than did those of p.o.j. 287 8. As a result of the favorable growth made by the trial plantings and the satisfactory sugar production in the Coloso variety trial the Isabela cane growers rapidly extended the planting of Mayaguez 28. It now occupies 600 acres and is one of the principal varieties in the Isabela district. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Report of the Puerto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station, 1934 Figure 2 shows graphically the results Of variety trials Of cane cut in 1934. Results from Mayaguez 3 and 42 on the Margarita farm In the San German Valley continued to be unfavorable. Both gave about the same sugar production as P. O. J. 287 8 in the Anasco Valley (fig. 2, A and B), but are not as adaptable as the latter to adverse soil conditions nor as cheap to cultivate and are not being extended. Mayaguez 7 equaled the production Of P. O. J. 2725 in first ratoons at the Quinones farm. However. Both P. O. J. 2878 and P. O. J. 2725 are regarded with greater favor on account Of their prolific stooling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Porto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station, 1919 During the twenty years of the American occupation in Porto Rico agricultural production has increased tremendously, due principally to the development of large areas as single units. There seems to have been little or no departure from this tendency, despite the fact that efforts along educational lines and through legal enactments have been made to curtail large land holdings. Instead of cutting down large holdings, they have actually been increased through pur chase or under long leases.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annual Report of the Porto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station for 1901 It is hoped that land may be Obtained for the permanent location Of the station in the near future and that it will be possible to greatly develop the work Of the station during the coming year. Considering the large agricultural interests Of the island and the variety of work which needs to be done by the station, the appropriation for its sup port by Congress should not be less than per annum. In addition to this, money will be needed for the purchase of land, erec tion of buildings, and equipment of the station. The station will, therefore, need such financial assistance from the Territory of Porto Rico as was given in the other States and Territories. There are no results Of experimental work to be reported at this time. This report is, therefore, chiefly confined to a statement of the agricultural conditions and needs Of the island. As seen by the writer in the course of such an agricultural survey as he has been able to make in the space of nine months.
