southern Sugar.


The soil of Louisiana is specially
adapted to the culture of the sugar
cane. Labor is abundant and compar-
atively cheap. The markets are easily
| accessible. The sugar and molasses
produced are said to be the best of
their kind. Yet despite all these adj
vantages, the average annual shrinkage
in the supply of saccharine sweets, for
the last thirteen years, has been Ii, 900
hogsheads of sugar and 500, 900 gallons
of molasses. The war is, perhaps,
responsible for no small part of the
states industrial retrogression, but
there has been still another aud a
greater cause. The yield OF sugar TO
the acre has steadily diminished, not
only on lands that might reasonably be
thought to be worn out, but on all
lands. The trouble is with the cane.
It is an exotic plant which needs to be
occasionally renewed. Otherwise, when
removed from its tropical home, il
gradually deteTiorates and loses its pro-
ductive power. Last year an effort was
made to bring new cane from India and
Egypt, where the yield is nearly four
times as large as it is in Louisiana.
The plan was undertaken so late in the
season, however, that it failed. It is
now proposed that the state shall ap-
propriate $50, 600 to send a competent
buyer to Hindostan as early as the list
of April. The country is expected to
furnish a naval vessel to bring back a
cargo of fresh and healthy cane. WHY
IL should go into the business of freight
carrier for Louisiana planters it is not
esasy to see. We can discover no
good reason for LoUisians's going into
the business of cane-buyer. The state
has q curious connection with the Citi-
zsn's bank, in virtue of which the bank
pays she interest on certain state bonds
that are secured by mortgage on a great
number of plantations. If these plan
tstions should be stocked with fresh
cane, the yield would probably be
uuadrupled, and the obligations might
be quickly paid of.
The annual diminution of 1900
hogsheads of sugar and SOC, 900 gallons
of molasses is q matter that concerns
the whole country. We are largely de-
supply. According to the census OF
1870, the total product OF cane sugar
was 81, O43 hogsheads, and OF cane mo-
lasses, 9,593, 1923 gallons. or these,
LOuisians produced so, 706 hogsheads,
and 4, $50, 159 gallons. If the present
rate of decrease continues, the last
sweet thing in that state viii soon dis
appear.
SOAEE Of our readers who have lived
fifty years may be glad to know what
they have accomplished in that time
