There are some few plantations
on which the work of planting
cane is still incomplete, but in
the great majority of instances
the seed cane has all been planted
and this will probably be finished
everywhere in q day or two, and
the seed has been found gener-
ally in good condition, thus
admitting of the planting of the
full area contemplated for the
coming crop. The persistent
rains have initiated against the
progress of all work, and the
crop is late, and we must hope
for a favorable growing season to
enable it to catch up lost time.
