year, when grinding is completed in
about three weeks, will show total
of about 1000 tons, or about 2,000,-
600 pounds, much of which was dis
posed of 10 wholesalers in the Lower
Rio Crande Valley at about l3 cents
a pound.
The crop produced 175 pounds of
sugar TO the ton of cane.
The sugar industry, after many
trials, is beginning to find itself in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley, accord
ing to Mr.. Hart, who predicted that
within the next two or three years
will be more than 10000 acres i'll
sugar cane.
This year the cane acreage was
comparatively small, including 500
acres at Donna and 500 acres on VIII
liam Bancroft's Llano Grande planta-
tion near Mercedes. There was prob

parts Of the Valley, including about
$50 acres near Brownsville.

plate total acreage in cane Of about
5000 within the next two or three
years, while rs much more probably
will be put out by the Bancroft inter
