growth of cane, specially in the last three months as observed by internode development. The second major problem appears to be the problem of "bogging down" when soils, specially the black soils of the project, are wet. Several accidents have occurred to the pivot machines because they tend to get "bogged down" in the mud. Several towers have capsized and drive mechanisms have suffered with continuous break-downs. The field management is aware of these problems and are now carrying ouz work tending to improve the drive paths on which the center pivot towers travel to avoid these problems. The cost of this work is high. It is imperative that an economical solution be found. . Sugar Cane Harvesting Sugar cane harvesting at the Victoria de Julio Sugar Company is completely mechanized system. The sugar cane fields are prepared for mechanized harvesting by first placing the center pivot in one of the quadrants that will not be harvested. Cane fire breaks are then prepared and the portion of the field required set on fire to burn off as much of the cane leaves and trash as is possible. To carry out the above work use is made of -1 5 tractor pulling medium disc harrow as well as MTZ-8 tractor pulling tank trailer to water down the infield roads to be used to reduce dust. crew of 2 workers then go about burning the field. The fire is organized by quadrants, each quadrant on average having 2 manzanas. The actual cutting of cane is carried out by Austoft Combine Harvesters. These machines cut one row at time and chop the cane and side deliver it to cane transport unit driving along side the harvester. With each group of cane harvesters (usually four harvesters per cutting front) MTZ-8 tractor stands by with water tank trailer to permit the washing of the equipment prior to their scheduled service and maintenance work. Cane transport is carried out by truck-tractors hauling semi-trailers with 1 ton capacity. These units drive in tha fie
