In the Science Congress number of the Pusa Journal we find an interesting article about the planting of Sugarcane sets by Mr. Kulkarani, Deputy Director of Agriculture Bombay. He says that by the ordinary method of planting, the sets produce a smaller number of plants than they are capable of, giving also uneven germination because the eye buds are placed in different directions in the ground, those on the top germinating first, those on the sides later and those at the bottom dying out altogether. So an experiment was started in Dharwar of planting sets so as to contain only one eye bud each and that being placed upwards.
