On the subject of Sugar Culture the Fer
nandina Mirror says: "1he immense increase
in the demand for sugar, both in Europe and
this country, has given an impetus to the cul-
ture OF every description of saccharine pro-
duclng plants and beet sugar in Europe and the
sorghum in this country, have been developed
to the place of profitable industries, but moth
ing has, or probably ever will be cultivated
which is so valuable or so important
cultivation OF which, in the United
States. is confined to the States of Louisiana
and Florida. Sugar has never been cultivated
in Florida to any extent as an export crop, for
the reason that it has not, until recently, pos
sessed the facilities for transportation so ne
cessary for so bulky crop, and because the
machinery hitherto used was so expensive as
to require a large capital to undertake the
production. Attention has of late years been
given to simplifying and cheapenins the ma
chinerY requisite for the grinding of the cane
and converting the juice into sugar. For the
grinding of the cane rollers have been manu-
factured Of moderate COST and which are quite
effective. The old boilers have been super
seded by the use of evaporators, and the pro-
cesses simplified and improved. A diversified
industry is important to the prosperity of q
State, and we are satisfied that no more i'm
portant adjunct to the planters crop can be
introduced than a general cultivation of the
sugar cane on liberal scale"
