Superintendent w. f. Parkinson of
the Parkinson sugar works. announces
that that institution will begin this sea-
sons operation about the middle of
August. The cane crop will be larger
than ever before. The machinery is
now being put in condition, and the
yield OF sugar is expected 10 exceed
that of any previous season. With the
prospect, almost amounting to a Ger.
tainty, for the repeal of the bounty-on-
sugar act of congress, the Fort Scott
sugar people exhibit great confidence in
the success and profit of sugar making.
And they are no doubt correct in their
estimates and calculations, but this as.
surance of success does not justify the
threatened discrimination against the
comparatively young and struggling Ia
