Dragon plantation, belonging
to Mr.. Prosper Toups, of La
fOurche, had a small crop, cult,
waited entirely by Nj. Sylvestre
Folse and family, and we believe
the cane was ground on a neigh
boring mill.
Nameoka, DR.. E. NJ. Boykin's
plantation, managed by Mr.. John
Boykin, fortunately had a good
crop, and should equal last years
crop of ITO hogsheads.
Belle Farm is the new name
given by Messrs. Burguieres &
Viguerie to the portion of the
P0rche plantation which thew
purchased. Their crop, together
with that of the Porche Bros,
which they grind, should make
as much sugar as last year-18O
hOgsheads.
Roseland, belonging to Messrs.
Nalle u Cammack, and managed
by Mr.. ID. @. David, should make
more than 1872 hogsheads-last
years crop.
Orange Grove, Mr.. AIphonso
BonVillain's place, will probably
make less than last year, when
the crop was 1874 hogsheads. lie
this year extended his purgery.
Waterproof, the old Hatch
plantation, now owned by Messrs.
Bush & Goode, and managed by
Mr.. b. Ellis, will probably make

Flora plantation, the, property
of MI. James A. Lusk, of New

built a barn and new cane she'd,
repaired the purgery and reset
kettles.
Orange Grove, cultivated by
Messrs. j. j. Barus s. Co., and
managed by MI. O. Price, has a
good crop and will probably make
more than last years crop of $50
hogsheads.
The three Gibson plantations,
Magnolia, Greenwood and Oak
Forest, have all been leased by
Messrs. Hugh W. Rogers & Pie
dra Bros, and they wilt probably
keep all. their cane for seed, except
a small portion ON Greenwood, so
as to make a large crop next sea.

overseer on Greenwood.
This region, extending for a

the Black, which in 1861 yielded
upwards of 1000 hogsheads of

Mr.. Adolphe Lejeune's is the
last sugar house on the bayou,
and will make more than last
years crop of 10 hogsheads.
This completes the list of sugar
plantations in Terrebonne parish.
We did not wish to omit any,
and have made estimates of the
probably yield after having
learned this years acreage from
the planters or their o~verseers.
OF course our figures may be far
from the actual result in many
cases, as no one can with any
certainty tell what a crop will
yield. As our only object is to
interest our readers, we hope
none will feel offended.
