The weather generally, has
i cen cool aud dry, since our last
issue, very favorable 10 the ma"
turing of cane. still in some los
calities there are indications
showing the plant to be 10. full

made more progress in richness

the sugar plsna RQliing
began this year somewhat later
than in 1878, in consequence of
the amount of repairs, that it
was necessary to. make, and the
delay occasiontd by the immature
condition of the stalk, bat we be-
lieve that the fabrication of sugar
will become very general imme"
diateiy. The grinding is in full
operation on u large number of
plantations 10 our section, al
ready. Some of our planters are ]
altering the practice usually pura
sued heretofore, aud are digging
the cane they have reserved for
seed out of the ground, in place
of cutting it even with the surface
of the soil. The reason sl!edged
Tor this change of procedure, is
that the most fertile joints are to
be found near the root.
