soeAn-eRowEns, CONVENTION.

We notice that convention of Grow
ers of Chinese Sugar Cane has recently
been held in Princeton, ILL.,, and give
an extract from the Bureau County Re
publican, alluding to the affair. 1t says:
"There certainly can no longer be any
doubt entertained of the ultimate sue
cess of cane growing in this county
Our farmers, during the past four years,
have given much attention to this new
branch of agricultural industry, and the
result has been that within the last two
years nearly, If not quite, one half the
molasses used by the people of this
county has been manufactured at home.
The quality of the syrup exhibited at
the late convention was equal to the best
golden syrup from New Orleans, free
from any unpleasant favor, and more
pleasing to our taste than any other
syrup except the maple. Mr.. John
Masters, Of Dover, brought US two
gallons, made by himself. which cannot
BE surpassed in any market. Mr.. Mas
tiers has also made some very handsome
sugar. There was large amount of
cane lost, owing to the scarcity of mills
Messrs. Miller & Christman sold about
one hundred, all they were able to man
ufacture. We trust there will be mills
sufficient for the coming season.
There is an earnest determination
amongst many of the farmers to make
the culture of the Imphee, or Cane, a
success, and it seems likely from all ac-
counts to be accomplished.
