The West Baton Rouge Sugar
Planter of October 5th has the FOL-
lowing As tho grinding season ap-
proaciaes various are the estimates
made for the sugar crop of this par
ish. The reader will understand by
this the number of hogsheads

Of the question. Upon that point
the estimates are as various as if
every field was filled with the finest

mate with the little margin either

lowing We regret to learn that
