the State will have very important bearing not only
upon the CROP but upon the Industry OF large portion
of Louisiana. well as upon the Confederate cause
The movement originates with Col Plnckney betnel
one OF tie largest planters of St Mary-which Is the
largest sugar making parish IN the state-aed the
Banner supports bis views
The subject has important features, and We give
conse qnenty, part OF Mr. Betheis circular ior me
Information of all parties:
The sugar crop of this year is large, and at least
third of it will remain uncoDsumed at the beginning OF
next sugar making II we make full crops next year
the surplus OF the present crop and all that we make ID
1862 will yield but meagre profits will hardly pay ex
pepses. Half of crop next year would, beyend
doubt give us better profits than full harvest ana
would enable US do in support OF our armlts
But discover no means OF preventing the evils OF
overcroppng which threaten you and me alike and IN
directly all the inhabitants OF the sugar parishes OF this
State but by general agreement among all OF the su
gar planters to plant but half crop OF cane.
therefore respectfully suggest that the planters OF
St Mary the most important sugar parish in the State
at once make general movement in favor OF the hall
crop plan and invite the other sugar parishes oil the
State to unite with ps in support OF this MEASURE
propose further that those planters who wish to see
the plan generally adopted name time, as early as
their convenience will permit for sugar planters con-
vention to be holden at Franklin, and that then ana
here they draw up the form of an agreement, to re
signed by all the planters who will consent TO DO SO,
each pdgng all the sugar and moasses he makes above
half average yearly crop for the last three years sha

further respectfully propose that at the meet
| ing we adopt measures to complete the arrangements
for obtaining the signatures of the planters of ST. Mary
to this instrument prepared by the convention and 10
secure if possible the complete cooperation OF all the
other sugar parishes in the State also wish to sug-
gest that whatever we do must be quickly DONE Slice
the time for planting cane is fast approaching.

no doubt they will do il we take hold of the business
promptly and in earnest.
n My for the opinions above expressed
erous, aud besides those already given conceive thf
tbcse obligations promptly entered into by the planters
generally would at give an upward tendency to the
present ruinous prizes oil sugar and moasses and faith
fully carried out would give the planters the coming
year ample leisure TO turn their attention to home man
ufacthrng of various useful articles such negro cloth
ing leather, shoes moccasins, and farming utensils and
to forming combinations and obtaining machinery for
refining sugar and converting molasses into rum The

various other reasons which have not now time to

There be little doubt, we think, that it will be
for the interest OF the country generally 1t planters
both sugar and cotton diversity their pursuits in such
way make themselves independent of foreign
resources than they hitherto have been for most of the
articles which they require for family and plantation
To manufacture such articles at home is great beside
ratum under present circumstances but to do requires
combination, association OF capital and labor, and il
the attention OF planters be devoted exclusively to agr
cultural pursuits heretofore this cannot be DONE
Every movement that looks to the encouragement of do

and healthy indication of the public mind
