The general estimate eiven Of

The general estimate given Of
the cane crop from the Uferent
sections Of the parish is that 3 is
short of twenty five to thirty per
cent The cane when standink in
the field looked fine and was very
promising, but when cut and
brought to the scale, it proved
light, aud was disappointing to the
planter. This unsatisfactory con-
dition o.. the cane was due proba-
bly, to the continuous wet spell of
the summer, followed by exceed
ingly dry weather after.
