Crop Comment.

The weather situation is not near
so favorable as it might be, with ref
erence to it's effect on the cane crop,
and the fear is. beginning to gain
ground that the inception of the
grinding campaign will find the cane
very green and greatly lacking in
sucrose content. Instead of the
cool temperatures which are natur-
ally to be expected at this season
of the year, there has prevailed for
the past fortnight what is generally
considered to be the Warmest spell
of weather of the present summer,
the mercury recordations being as
high as 95 degrees in the day time
and u degrees at night. The eff
feet of the unreasonable torrid spell
will be that the cane will keep on
growing, whereas what is needed
now is a bit OF cold weather ia check
the growth of the plant and cause II
to ripen. There is no kick coming
from any source as to the size OF
the stalks, and, in fact, the out
look as to tonnage is exceptionally
promising, but it is apprehended that
if the warm weather should continue
much longer the cane will be very
green when sent to the mill and the
sugar yield will be correspondingly
small.
