tie more rain would be welcomed in most
portions of the belt, but as yet no injury

condition of the crop:
The weather during the past week has
been hot, and in many sections of the

the cane is growing rapidly, and we are
able to still report favorable outlook

showers being strictly local, the condi-

the rains, while many others are axnious
