It will be with in the experiemce of almost all the cane growers in the district of Coimbatore and round about that low quality juices from badly lodged.diseased ir insuffieiently irrigated canes often fail to form into the usual cube-shaped jaggery that is so popular in thesemarkets.It is usual in such cases to make the jaggery into big lumps weighing about 2mds.each.These lump jaggeries are, however,held at a discount in the markets of Coimbator ,MaduramMalabar,and Tinnevely as they are usually associated with low quality.It is,therefore.the aim of every cane grower in these districts to convert his whole crop into cube jaggery.if he can possibly manage it.The development of a simple process for arriving at this result should accordingly be a matter of some importance to the cane growing ryots of these areas.
