INJURY TO SUGAR CANE
CUTS SHORT THE CROP
Syrup Yield in Sumter is
Small This Year.

The cane fields about Americas show
the distressing effect of the three
months drouth and the yield is going
to be the poorest in several years. Th.,t
South Georgia cane syrup will be
higher this year than last is the orin-
ion of those who have been keeping
tab on the situation. The main rea-
son for this prediction is based on tie
short crop. Florida's crop is as g3o1
rs usual, but the excessive rains ana
Irouth combined injured the cane Iii
Georgia's syrup belt considerably. The
shortage in the southern part Of Geo.
gia is estimated to be from 20 to
30 per cent. Dealers in syrup stale
that it is almost impossible to buy ~
ture deliveries at this time.
