The Sugar Crop.

FROM the New orleans Ilcayune, Nov. 10.
We have reached that point in the fall, where proba
bic estimate may be made Of the present sugar crop
The agreeable anticipations OF a large Yield which
many the summer have been dssipated by
the casualties Of the Throughout the entire sugar
region the complaint is general that the small and
unpromising The cane first ground lacked the usual
amount OF saccharine richness and the Juice produced
less amount OF sugar than had been anticipated.
White rosts have now been felt almost every planta-
ton devoted to sugar culture, and far the effect
been beneficial as has arrested the growth Of the cane
in the crop adjoining plantations presenting
full Development Of the cane, and promising and
half 10 two hogsbeads TO the arpent, while adon
ing place not more than half hogshead anticipated
This condition Of the sugar crop to exist in the
entire sugar growing districts With the most favorable
weather, is scarcely probable that more than ord
nary clop be made The estimate OF 100000 hogs
heads which published months SINCE Is there
fore figure considerably above what will be realized
Some observan planters regard 5000 hogsheads as
the actual result which may be recorded when the
cane fields harvested Perhaps favorable weather
may bring the figure up to 10000 1t is well this early
in the to be assured that large crop is mpossi
bic. The which is made s, however, of beautiful
appearance, and generally OF a superior quality.
In many quarters the drouth lately experienced has
seriously injured the mats and the planters find 1t
necessary to discuss the advantageous mode laying
them down, TO the largest amount OF mois

khu as our sugar planters have become in their panta

YET can be learned. The advantage of agrcu
tura associations cannot but be suggestive both by

70 Whcn the season has exposed the dependence of
the planters for the coming year We cannot doubt that
the hostility of seasons the Inequalities OF soil NAV be
entirely overcome by better knowledge of the means
which nature has given for counter acting these
tages. With better knowledge OF the operations Of ma
