These factors are equally important when the crop is grown for sugar production. The starch and aconitic acid content of the juice should be low; however, both components are removed in the manufacturing process. This is a greater factor in the production of sweet sorghum than in the production of current varieties of sugarcane.
Sucrose is removed from the stalks in the milling process as a component of the juice. Poor germination is associated with cracks in the seed coat or other abnormalities of the seed. Insects: The sweet sorghum crop is an attractive host for various types of insects, and the control of these insects is an important factor in the growth of the crop (3).
Limited testing in Louisiana in the past few years indicates a need for control of the cane borer in most areas. In both cases, irrigation was initiated when 2/3 of the available water in the surface 2 feet of soil had been depleted. The water level treatments did not appear to affect sucrose content or total solids in sugarcane juice.
Third-year cane observations in the summer of 1970 indicated another high production.

Supple had a specially designed sugar cane grab mounted on the loading platform instead of the bucket. To illustrate the storage requirements of the Flexible System, as opposed to the conventional derrick system, assume a hypothetical mill situation. The hypothetical 3,000 ton mill is used to illustrate several points regarding the physical characteristics of the smooth system.
It is important that the operating track takes up as little storage space as possible. Next, and most importantly, we need to look at the cost of the smooth system versus another derrick system. Because our hypothetical mill would use two payloaders, The Supple System's machine cost per hour would be $14.72.
This is slightly more than the cost of the Supple System, using a third machine as a backup. The purities and starch content of the raw and clarified juices were then compared. In measuring the free acidity of the raw juice, standard alkali is added to provide a pH of 8.3.
The clarity of semisyrup was 70 to 80% of the values measured on clear juices. The purity of the clarified juices was obtained only from the juices drained from the sludge. From an engineer's point of view, the mill loses due to the wear of the knives and the supporting equipment.
Remove the loose cane top (i.e. that part of the sugar cane that is removed by topping in the field). This includes the bulk handling of sugar cane and the design of some feeding tables. Coogan, “The Disposal of Waste Procedures of the American Society of Sugar Cane Technologists, pp.
Division Committees
The President will be elected alternately each year from the two divisions provided for hereafter. The President of the Louisiana Section for the year beginning February, 1970, shall be nominated and elected from the Agricultural Section. The President of the Florida Division for the year beginning February, 1970, shall be nominated and elected from the Manufacturing Division.
The terms "year" and "consecutive years" as used in Articles V and VI shall be deemed to include the elapsed time between an annual branch meeting of the Company and the following annual branch meeting of the Company.
Sections
Meetings
The annual meeting of the Florida Division shall be held each year at such time as the Executive Committee of that Division shall determine. Special meetings of a section for the discussion of matters of special interest to that section may be called by the President at the request of the relevant chairman of a section. At meetings of the Division, ten percent of the active members of the division and the Chairman or Vice-Chairman shall constitute a quorum.

The base cutters of some Louisiana harvesters were found to uproot 5.0% of the stubble in Florida sugar cane. Some of the shedding comes from trying to break an unripe bud from the mature cane pieces. The increased compaction of the soil is also recognized by the many passes of a harvester and wagons.
A site was chosen south of Okeelanta which was considered to be more typical of the entire sugar cane growing area. Twenty-three of the high-volume samples collected throughout the season were also subjected to a morphological examination by Walter C. Those from the eastern part of the country were chosen to show influence of westerly winds.
This is usually considered a very rough measure of the general dirtiness of a community. Results of the morphological examination revealed that the amount of burnt plant material in the samples taken during the fire season varied between 11 and 47 weight percent. The number of sample days during the time this area was burned represents approximately 25 percent of the total number of days during.
Morphological examination of samples taken during the burning season showed 15 to 54 percent by weight of burned plant material. Three of the 34 stations used were in locations shared with those of the Palm Beach County Health Department. The highest percentage by weight of burned vegetation (which may or may not be attributable to cane burning) observed at the 34 sampling stations was approximately 50 percent.
We have seen a rapidly increasing use of the butterfly control valve as a final element for fluid flow control. The design and construction of the butterfly valve is responsible for many of the advantages of this type of control valve. The maximum torque determines the maximum pressure drop that the valve stem can withstand and in turn determines the size of the operator.
