To entitle one to the premium, evidence sotts"
! fsctory to the Board MAS required that the ap-
plicant had made not less than fifty pounds, acd
that the eauple presented was fair average.
Under this rule the following persons presented
their claims:
DEC. 3. OsrRASpER, Of Pontlac, Livingston
county, received the 6rst premium. His WAS
equal to second quality Of New Orleans, and had
very much the taste md appearance ct the new
t crop augar SO near Was it identical that NE
had strong suspicious that it YES from pro'sla-
very soil, bnt AZ the Or. Claims it Of Sucker
growth, We must give in, and yield the point
that good eugar can be made from this cane.
or course We are not ready to admit that it can
be produced at profit

Mrs. Il. u. T1Acr CrrLER, Of DEight, GrundJ
county, was the only competitor, and received
the first premiums This sample had co2zso
grains, with rather sharp, unpleasant scid, and
badly drained.
| This exhibition, to our mind, is not very grat-
| if5ing evidence in f.vo1 Of the profitable pro-
ductiou of sugar from either the Cane or In
phee, and our hopes in this respect have made
| no advance.

will prove profitable for this purpose. The nost
common quality of this syrup is superior to mo-
lasses FIR cooking but for the table it should
be refined the Same as other ayrups.
