St. Louis, Jan. 18.-Tbe third days ses.
sion of the Cane Growers association bt gan
this morning.
T. A. Nichols, of Louisiana, gave a re.
sumo of the results of the
past sugar season in his state, which on the
whole, he said had been disastrous. The
address was followed BIZ lively discussion
after which Professor Scovall, of Sterling,
Kansas, spoke of cane growing in Kansas.
For the past three seasons il has been unsuc-
cessful, yet some progress had been made.
Other speeches followed. The committee
appointed to draft constitution, made a
report that the association would be known
as the National Sugar Growers associ:
ton, and an annual meeting would be held
at such place and time as the executive
committee should designate.
Other minor points we're also reported
when the committee was granted further
time.
A resolution requesting the government
to continue lis interest through the bureau
of agriculture In the sugar industry was
adopted and the convention took a recess.

Rambling noises were heard beneath
