Though matters are bad enough in other parts of India Inferiority of the sugar which have a cane cultivation still the production in the BBenares districts adapted by the nature nares districts compared with that of other parts of the soil and the climate to produce or India the best of sugar are certainly ahead of other parts of the Empire in the waste of their system of production. [...] No more evident proof of the wastefulness of the system of manufacture exists than the returns Wastefulness of the of the conversion of " concrete " or system of manufacture. [...] 2n<1.—The inferior quality of the concrete produce towards the end of the season ; for if 31 maunds of concrete or beli yields 1 mound of chini in the cold season it requires 4 Maunds of concrete to produce the same quantity of chilli as soon as the heat of the atmosphere increases a loss of 14 to 15 per cent it the former results. [...] Can it be wondered afterwards that the canes have not the strength to resist the first signs of the hot season ? I have shewn that the differen-ce in the out-turn of concrete between the beginning of the season and the end is fully 50 per cent. [...] The other half of the seed was sown in an irrigated plot of ground adjacent to a field of jowar on the right bank of the Sombe torrent which the spring level is 7.oO feet below the surface and the level of the field 5.30 feet above the water level of the canal ; the crop on this plot came up well at first but afterwards withered away though the adjacent field of jowar gave a good crop.
