Wrong ideas About sugar.

Not only abroad throughout the
land. but also right at home In this
state. is there a misunderstanding or
the status of the Louisiana sugar IN
/ dustry. In the northern part Of the
state we find the erroneous impress
sion existent that sugar planting was
practically abandoned the first OF
this year. This idea, no doubt, was
/ led to in part by there being an ex-
.odus of a limited amount of cane
/ field labor to north Louisiana; ike
wise contributed to through exag-
gerated newspaper stories regarding
/ the cases of retirement from sugar
pursuits.
Newspaper reports concerning the
cessation OF sugar planting in Lou
isiana were taken up and spread the
length and breadth of the land; this
move pursued principally by oppon-
Tents of the administration who wish
ed to emphasize the errors of the
free trade policy that was applied
/ with peculiar force against the do
nestle cane and beet sugar Indus
tries. To such political prop
/ uganda, therefore, is largely ascrib-
able the existing Misrepresentation
/ concerning the cane industry Of Lou
isiana now being virtually thing
of the past.
! In this grieVous wrong has been
done, for 1t acted to the discredit OF
the financial status of the sugar peo-
/ pie, few of whom gave serious
thought to getting out OF cane cul.
i ture before the first OF the coming
year. It is true that but for the
European war bringing enhanced
worlds sugar A5ues, to- would be

Of the usual cane areas cultivated
next year, though now, with the
changed conditions, 1t appears very
probable that at least eighty per
cent of normal crop will BE grown
In 1915. AS it is, the 1914 crop is
scarcely twenty-five per cent less
than the previous one of 1913, even
though a few large planting firms did
go out of business entirely and near
ly all the planters reduced 1914 plant
