PLANTATION EcHoEs.-We believe
grinding has been finished on all the
plantations in this parish, the last
planters to get through this work being
Messrs. Bringier, Mccall and Kenner &
Brent, who all made fine crops for the
season.
On Mr.. r. H. Yale's Home place in the
first ward the taking off Of the crop was
completed last week, and the sum total
of She seasons labors footed up about
$4,000 pounds of sugar from 100 acres OF
cane. We believe this is the best yield
attained il the parish this year.
Messrs Le,nann q Hanson made about
3335, 900 pounds Of sugar at Peytavin, but
Gully $4,000 pounds. Of this was the pro
duct of the Peytav;n place proper, the
balance being from cane raised on the
Lazarre Dugas place, leased by Messrs.
Lemann & Hanson.
At Mr.. James Telicl's Riverside place
grinding was finished last week. We
have not learned the yield, but the crop
was large one for the year. ....
Over o,ooO pounds of sugar were
made on Messrs. Lemann g. Lum's Palo
Alto place, being one Of the largest
Yields the parish can boast.
Messrs. Z. & J. Kock, Of the Belle
Alliance place in Assumption, finished
.grinding this week. They have made
OYER 800, 600 pounds Of sugar, splendid
crop.
Mr.. Robt. Maurin Of the same parish
also made fine crop when the size OF
his place is considered, obtaining $4,000
pounds of sugar.
