The Cultivation of Sugar Cane in Queensland was written in 1924 by Harry Easterby at a time when many with little or no knowledge were starting to grow sugar-cane.
It covers cultivation of old lands, irrigation, varieties of cane, weather conditions, and pests and diseases. Is also gives a brief summary of each of the sugar districts – Mossman, Cairns, Innisfail, Tully River, Herbert River, Lower Burdekin, Proserpine, Mackay, Bundaberg, Childers, Maryborough, Pialba, Yerra, Mount Bauple, Moreton, and Logan and Nerang.
If you have anyone involved with sugar-cane at this time it will give you an insight into how they went about cultivating their cane and the issues they faced.
