old employees must seek work
elsewhere, which, under the cOn-
ditions Of short crops is hard to
find. Cane-cutting and hauling

Several factories Of the parish are
running on short orders-com-

Thursday more to get things
"limbered up" than anything
else. The cane is quite rich in
surcrose, but very short in tom
