Sorghum Growing.

l wish to state fairly the facts as
they appear to me after six years ex-
perience in handling from 5000 to 5000
tons of cane each year. l think you
are in error in stating that a farmer
can produce milk butter. pork, NUT
ton or beef to the value of $50 as easily
as he can produce cane to the value
of 500. If YOU will notice the localities
in this State where farmers have sold
cane by weight, and know what cane
costs and what it brings, as at Ottawa,
at Hutchinson, at Fort Scott, and at
Sterling, you will notice that the far
mers in those localities are more eager
to contract to deliver cane to sugar
factories than farmers who never
weighed a ton ofcane. 1t is to be sup
posed that farmers who have sold cane
know what it costs to produce 1000
pounds Of cane, and also know the va
iue of$2. This county (Rice) is a good
corn county ; it can and does produce
milk, butter, pork, mutton and beef as
well as other counties. The farmers
near Sterling have produced thousands
Of tons of cane for forage; they have
dlSO SOlu UilOUlSillUS VI lOAN OI Cdllc u
sugar aud syrup factories; they may be
supposed to know the labor required
to produce an acre of cane, and to
know the money value of EACH. A
syrup factory now building here wish
ed to make contracts with the farmers
for 500 acres of caLe at 81 50 per ton,
instead of 50 per ton, the price on
which your estimate was based. The
farmers were willing to contract more
IA n at 81 so per ton than any sorghum
factory which has yet been planned
could handle. The Sterling Syrup
Works, which has been in operation
six years, works up 100 acres of cane;
the Moss < Danna Syrup Works will
use 500 acres of cane: 5000 acres OF
cane could yet be contracted for in this
vicinity at 81 30 per ton 1900 acres
of c me can be had in Il body at 81 90
per ton, by any one who thinks cane
Is too dear at So per ton. Reliable
men, experienced in eaHe growing, are
willing to contract cane for five Years.
1909 acres Il year, at II 80 per ton, ant
give bond and security for performance
OF contract. Thcse facts seem to indi-
cate that there is IN error III Your cal

this important matter, which, if at

Lawrence c hamberlin Thompson.

The death of Lawrence Chamberlin
Thompson, while in the vigor and
strength of early manhood, is another
proof of the uncertainty of life and the
certainty of death.
Whilst this estimable young man
has been removed from his sphere of
usefulness, and from the society of
those who were near and dear to him.
his family and friends have the conso-
lation Of knowing that his short life
has been II OF honor and his record
one that can be remembered with pride
and thankfulness by his relatives and
companions and as one worthy of
emulation.
The deceased was the third son Of
The late James f. Thompson, known
as q prominent citizen and esteemed
merchant. of Thibodaux for many
years. At an early age he was N
ployed by the Southern Pacific Rail
road, and had he lived, would shortly
have been promoted and placed in
charge of the branch train at this point
as engineer, IA position honorably earn
ed and n which would have shown
the appreciation and esteem in which
he was held by the officers of the road.
The days of his toll are ended, his
career is finished. Only the good
that he has done remains as Il legacy
to those who were loved and cherished
by him. The deceased was only a
years of ge. He Il a member of
the fraternity of Locomotive Firemen.
