the crops: "Our planters have had a delight
ful spell Of weather for planting cane. and, from
all we can learn, have been improving the time.

Only the small farms, where there are no sugar.
houses, will be planted in cotton. Most of the
freedmen have contracted for the year. In most
cases their wages have been increased; the aver
age price paid for men is about fifteen dollars per
month and rations." The Baton Rouge Sugar
Planter says cane is too scarce there to make
much sugar before 1852 by which time there will
be rlant and rattoon cane enough to make full
esop.
