Abbev1lle Merdlonal: We have
frequently contended that in order
to grow cane profitably it should be
done upon such plan as to enable
the farmer to harvest the crop with
out much expense for hired labor.
The st. MartinSville MESSENGER
shares this opinion and states that
some of the unsuccessful sugar
planters, or cane growers, rather,
are feeling somewhat disappointed
because they came out short. or
were eaten up by heavy expenses.
We have all along maintained that
there was more money for the small
planter who made and harvested his
own crop, and we have two examples
which will prove this fact. Clebert
Hollier, who lives near Breaux
Bridge cultivated and sold to the
Ruth refinery acres OF cane that
brought him the handsome return
of $500 which is without doubt,
