during the past week has been hot and had It
been accompanied by some rainfall it would
have been ideal for cane growing purposes.
Unfortunately It has been very dry, however
and, while the crop can scarcely be said 20

so tcuntiiully filled already the planters are
particularly anxious that no further untoWsrd
