SUGAR CANE ONE OF
OUR GREAT CROPS
Most Profitable Crop in Escambia
County to Be Developed on
Larger Scale.

Sugar Cane is one of the field crops
thta Is going to put Escanbia county
on the map agricu1turally, J. Lee
Smith, field demonstration agent for
the county. says. II is one Of our
farmers real money crops and many
of them are beginning to realize it,
Nine ears out of every ten it is a sue
cessful crop from the standpoint of
production. And production at all
times means increased finances, for
the farmer
Many of the farmers, in fact nearly
all are going TO plant sugar cane next
year and increase their acreage over
this. Those who did not plant this
year are going to put in sugar cane1
This is very we'll. This year, we
have a greater sugar cane product
on than we have ever had in the
history of the county. None of the
farmers are going to produce less
than 300 gallons per acre and many
of them are going up to 500 gallons.
1t is true that sugar cane is a long
growing crop. But in spite of that
some of our farmers are making two
crops on the same land. In the mid
die of the rows of cane they plant
early Irish potatoes or some other
short growing crop and harvest 1t be-
fore the cane begins to make much
growth. This was done this year by
several of our farmers. 1t can be
done again, and will, Mr.. Smith says.
But next year there is going to be
a shortage Of sugar cane for planting.
There is but one way and but one
time to prevent it, and that time IS
now, Mr.. Smith Says. Those farmers
that are going 70 plant sugar cane
that have not the cane should go to
their neighbor now and purchase or
bargain for 1t. In a few weeks it will
be ground up and syrup made of it.
So if the farmers who are planning
to plant next year will make arrange
ments for their cane now they will
be pretty well on the safe side but
if they wait till spring there will be
numbers of them that will never get
cane for planting.
