an extent it is now feared that
hardly more than two-thirds of
a crop will now be raised. The
cane crop is especially good, both
sorghum and Louisiana ribbon.
Our friend and neighbor, Mr..
George Pagan has made up 25O
gallons, and along with his sweet
ming he will have plenty of every
thing else to eat that can be
raised on a farm, and with corn
to ''chuck at the birds" By
the way, and without changing

think that George has managed
