Mr.. Vim. Kanaus, chief engineer
on the San Juan plantation, made
a trip for purposes Of observation
over to Sugarland last week, and
upon his return to the plantation
was asked How does the sugar
cane you saw in your travels
compare with this down here?'
His reply was somewhat startling,
but of its truthfuIness there can
. be no question. He unhesitatingly
replied: There is 10 comparison.
Three acres Of this cane here IS
worth ten over there. I saw many
fields of cane on my trip, and
while some of it will yield very
fair, the best I saw does not
compare with the worst cane on
the San Juan plantation. They
are alarmed about frost over there,
while we can leave our cane in the
field until it suits us to cut it.
Planters would not believe me
when l gave them conservative
facts about the Lower Rio Grande
Country. "-Hidalgo Advance.

Cakes with butter require a mod
crate oven.
Cookies or small cakes require a
moderately quick oven.
Cakes containing molasses re-
quire careful watching in a moder-

If your cake browns as soon as
you put it into the oven, the oven
is too hot; cool it as quickly as
as possible by lifting the lid of the
stove, or stand i'll the oven a quart
pudding pan filled with cold water
Never move a cake i'll the oven
