Delta county has now three sorghum mills
and the necessary appliances for making
syrup. G. w. Fawcett, c. o. Rogers and
NJ. Winfield have each purchased a sorghum
mill and will work their amber cane into
syrup this fall. This industry promises to
be profitable one in the county, as this
years experiments has demonstrated the fact
that cane can be successfully grown. We
believe that in a short time sorghum sugar
refinery will be established some place in
the valley and the growing of cane will be
one of our leading industries.

Next morning it was learned that during

Wheat.

The Baltimore Manufacturers Record,
furnishes the following condensed reports
from the most prominent wheat growing
sections:
''By the report Of the Illinois State Ag-
-ricultural Department of July lst., the
winter wheat crop was at that date har-
vested in nearly half of the counties in the
State, including the winter wheat section,
and the advices gathered of the harvest
place the quantity of crop but little over
10000, 900 bushels,-a reduction of about
100000 900 bushels when compared with
the winter wheat crop OF the previous
year.
1.-The most discouraging report concern
ing the outcome Of the winter wheat crop
come from the southern counties, where
usually three-fifths of the winter wheat is
produced. There will be less than half an
average yield per acre of winter wheat on
the reduced area in the southern counties.

The Michigan State Report estimates
the wheat crop in that State at 24.194. 0O0
bushels, against 80, 992, 059 bushels in 1881.
The average yield per acre for the State
was but 1870 bushels, against 9.29 for the
previous year. Estimates show that from
two to two and one-half millions bushels
of the 1882 wheat crop are yet in farmers
hands.
The rainfall during June as measured at
the office of the State Board of Health
amounted to 991 inches and exceeds the

The Confederate Bond Bubble.

\ cable dispatch from London to the
New ork Herald gives some futher de-
tails OF the preposterous scheme projected
by English financial adventurers to realize
on Confederate bonds. A s'new syndi-
caten has been formed by holders Of these
bonds for the purpose Of bringing about a
settlement with the Southern States. This
syndicate proposes to demand payment OF
the bonds from the States that formed the
Confederacy, and if the demandisnot COM
piled with, to Boycott the South, finan
cially. ''The great lever, = says the CORE
spondent, which they propose to bring to
bear is a kind OF financial pressure, some
thing like that applied to Greece u few
years ago, when a compromise was arrived
at respecting old repudiated loans, and
Greece was thenceforWard admitted freely
to the European markets. In other
words, the syndicate ''hopes to hold this
great mass Of bonds as q constant cloud
against the credit of the South. and i'll OPP
position to any enterprise, no matter what
it is, that comes from the Southern States.
They say that already in this market, for
years past, whenever a Southern enterprise
has made its appearance this dirty mass OF
discredited securities has been thrust i'll
the face of the South, and i'll such way as
to have been constant and terrible obsta-
Gle in the way of Southern advancement. z
