Israel J. Gutiérrez begins his essay by discussing the economic considerations of sugar cane before laying out his thesis on its cultivation. He describes the plant, explains the proper climate and the best soil for its cultivation, planting methods, and harvesting of the canes. He laments the limited scope of his topic, which prevents him from discussing the politico-economic conditions in Mexico as it relates to the status of farm workers. A fold-out illustration shows various sugar cane planting methods. Universidad Nacional de México. Escuela Nacional de Agricultura y Veterinaria. Serie agronómica; number 15.
