     The `cane' data frame has 180 rows and 5 columns. 

     The data frame represents a randomized block design with 45
     varieties of sugar-cane and 4 blocks.  The aim of the experiment
     was to classify the varieties into resistant, intermediate and
     susceptible to a disease called "coal of sugar-cane"  (carvao da
     cana-de-acucar). This is a disease that is common in sugar-cane
     plantations in certain areas of Brazil.

     For each plot, fifty pieces of sugar-cane stem were put in a
     solution  containing the disease agent and then some were planted
     in the plot.  After a fixed period of time, the total number of
     shoots and the number of diseased shoots were recorded.
