sorghum this season, and it was all
sold at 80 cents per gallon, and FIR.
Silvers could have sold much more at
the same price if he had the cane.

n.ers who hauled cane to his mill.
He has the System" down fine and
the sorghum is as clear as any New
Orleans zane syrup, but it is dense and
heavy and of the larruping good kind,
! we know, because he gave us a gen.
erous sample to show us that Ryan
