It is well known that sugarcane cultivation cannot be spred through the country as extensively as paddy.It is a long duration crop requring a good deal of attention in all its stages.Besides it is in expensive crop to grow.and therefore is beyond the reach of the poor man.It is Partial to well drained soils and being in exhaustrive feeder requires large quantities of manure.It should also be grown within easi reachof road communications.All these and similar factors control and limit the area under this important crop.In this country sugarcane is chiefly grown for the manufacture of jaggery.In certain lovalties situated in proximity to large towns canes are grown for chewing purposes. but the area under this must indeed be very small. Huwever.the idea of growing canes in large areas to supply to factories for making sugar has been brought to the fore iront especially by the recent Sugar Commission under the Preisidentship of Mr.MacKenna.
