The Cane Crop.
Louisiana Painter.

Cold weather of continuity ra-
ther unusual in South Louisiana.
even in January, has prevailed
since the beginning of this year,
but the past week has witnessed
some moderation in the severity of
it and it is to be hoped that the
balance of the winter may be free
from the extraordinary low tenn
peratures that have occurred twice
since it began. There is no in
formation at hand relative to the
effect of the hard freezes we have
had on the embryo crop of this
year, now dormant in the ground
as stubble or fall planted cane or
preserved in mats for spring plan
ting. Satisfactory rains have fal
len which will give the cane ade-
quate moisture and the field situa-
tion generally has promising out
look.
