Clippings from Louisiana
Planter.

The cane and corn crops are in
satisfactory condition. This IL
the opinion of one Of the most
prominent sugar men in the State
and the basis for it is the reports
received from every section of the
Louisiana sugar belt. The fall
plant il up to a splendid stand,
generally speaking and although
in certain place it is little pale
and yelIowish from the protracted
period of cold weather this year it
Ia fact throwing off all signs Of de.
lay and with continued very favor
able weather conditions, such ~
are now obtaining, it will not be
long before all evidences Of the
cold weather injury will be entire.
~ obliterated. The first spring
cane is coming up well except on
the black lands, and there full
stand is not expected. Eighty
five per cent of the acreage devot-
ed to cane this season is expected
to produce a full stand while the
other fifteen per cent il expected
to average almost a full stand.
The sugar production Of 1917,
it is estimated, will be at least 10
per cent greater than the 1916
production. Although this year
for all kinds OF cane ls not expect.
ed to equal last year is extremely
favorable growing conditions, the
stubble crop this year is showing
unmistakable signs of superiority
over the stubbIe crop Of last sea-
son, and this is one Of the reasons
for the prediction of a larger crop
this coming season.
Along Bayou Lafourche, in
Terrebonne and along the river
the same acreage is practically in
cane this year as was put into
cane last year. The planters Oh
Lafonrcbe and along the river
were always very fortunate in that
they could always get ready
market for syrup when sugar
prices were too low and conse
quently they were the last to stop
raising cane. They have full
planting this year as usual.
The corn crop IS about two
weeks behind. This was due 10
the unfavorable field weather of
February and March. Up to
Thursday of last week it was esti.
mated that 60 per cent of the corn
crop had been planted. Some
planters had to plant cora three
times.
A report received in New Or
leans this week was to the effect
that ST. Lucie County. Florida,
would have 10, 600 acres in sugar
cane next year.

As he gazed at the battle cloud shad
