who was a city visitor the early part
of Che week. It was learned that big
things in the cane way are doing at
the Angola estate in East Feliciana
parish, which contains some 5000
acres fine cultivable land; thsre all
the cane grown this year on 300
acres is to be utilized for seed, and
as the crop was excellent, it is anti
cipated from 1000 to 1900 acres

Gondran could not sag this early

made De this large area Of cane the

ping the cane. and there is but one
factory aleag che lineaof this railroad,
says the Sugar Planters Journal.
When it is considered that Angola's
production prior to the coming of
the boil weevil averaged 1900 to
1890 bales of cottor, and that though
there was an increased corr area this
season, the remaining large acreage
devoted TO the ieecy staple furnished
only 2066sfes, it would appear as if
the State Board of Control will be
forced to put the greater part Of An
COLA into cane hereafter, in which
event the erection Of 3 large sugar
factory will be demanded.
In referring to Hope plantation, in

anticipated before the late storm,

ward dash. which will be contested

contestants entered, including Scott,
Leary. McWood, George Bond, Kellogg

were in the pink of condition, while
the Southern California records were
made in a preliminary tryout
Entries have been coming in fast, but
