| misses to be unusually abundant and cheap.
The greatest disadvantage under which LOU
isiana labors is being forced to compete in
sugar production with the slave labor Of Cuba.
The protective tariff which exists is not enough
to Offset this disadvantage though the heavy
tariff paid to protect refners' interests would
be amply sufficient to satisfy the larger class of
producers. Even with the disadvantage that
we have noted, sugar planting in Louisiana
should be q profitable business.
Some men are at present making fortunes at
1t. others enjoy handsome incomes from their
sugar fields, and but very few are losing money
at it, while 1t is safe to say that these few are
either extravaganza or careless planters. Each
year there seems to be O large influx Of fresh
capital in the business, and If prices are main
tanned at even their present rates, it is likely
that in a few years the State will produce enough
sugar to supply the great Mississippi Valey-as
there are more than one million acres Of mag
nifleent lands in the sugar district that can be
brought into cultivation, and these only await
that development which capital and labor bring
to be made to bear harvests richer than Egypt
bore In her seven years of plenty.

MISUNDERSTANDING used the Gilman puifer

We would state that they have worked to our
entire satisfaction. and are certainly superior
to anything OF the kline we have YET tested AS
our shipments of cotton have been light
during the period named, our hands have
not as yet had sufficient practice to rem
der them perfect in the handling of the
Fuller, but we think it quite safe to say
that we can turn out five hundred bales per
working day Of ten hou1s. We have not had
an opportunity of testing the actual gain in.
storage, but are confident it is fully twelve to
fifteen per cent. We will use the Pullers upon
our three presses, and feel confident that fair
trial is all that is necessary to secure their gem
era adoption.
The Grip tTic is certainly the strongest and
best tie we have ever used, for in spite of the
greater tension Of the bands none Of the ties
have broken. and very few bands break after
leaving the press. Its general adoption by
planters would secure the delivery OF their
cotton in better order, and would effect saving
In the cost Of compressing as all tther ties have
to be thrown aside in the compress when the
Pullers are used. Very respectfully,
