Sugar-cane Disease Data
}
\description{
  The \code{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.}
\details{
  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.
