The weather for the past week
has been ideal for all purposes.
The planting fraternity have taken
advantage of it, consequently their
work is we'll advanced. Cane
scraping and stubble shaving is
mostly finished, the corn in some
sections has received its first work
ing aud looks very promisingly.
The plant cane is showing itself
enough to mark the row. The
warm weather and showers are rap
idly forwarding all vegetation and
an emerald green pervades the face
of the earth. The rice people are
we'll advanced with their sowings.
Much rice is already to a stand,
some has been irrigated, but where
new pumping plants have been
erected, delays have occurred, ow'
ing to the fact that the machinery
handlers have more than they can
attend to. Still there will be no
loss from this source. The outlook
is very promising for earliness Of
the season, and We predict great
things for iberia in 1902.
