SUGAR PLANTERS HIT HARD.
Place G-ea. Hopes in Possibilities OF
Year 1922

o. All she producing elements J.!
this country perhaps none has So
gladly usherea out the old year and
welcomed the possibilities of 1929 as
the Louisiana sugar producer.
'Tc him the misfortunes OF 1920
virtually have been repeated in 1921:
In 1922 he has nothing to 'cse and
everything &c gain
In ar effort to retrieve the losses
of 1920. when the depression set in.
sugar producers both mere and in
Cuba planted large crops The WELD
has been even larger thar expected,
the largest since the year yield Of
would lie sold en- basis of 7 . or
cents a pound for refined sugar.
Instead. levels have continued their
rcces:ions and that part Of the crop
already sold has been marketed on
the basis Of about ) cents 8 pound
for refined The 1929 crop was sclc
below cost of production. The t92l
crop was raised on the most drastic
economical scale. but this crop, toe,
is being sold without profit and a
large part of it at loss Good rca-
son why 1922 IS welcome.
There were some mildly redeem
ing features in this last crop The
sugar WELD per ton of cane was vne
greatest in many years and the yield
of cane per acre was the greatest
since 1911. This was TO the advantage
of the planter because the total pro-
duction of the state is never sufficient
to have any important bearing on
sugar prices The planter has had
the advantage OF the increased yield
without having to face lower mar
ket because Of that increase.
''Tie Cuban production, which Is
! the controlling factor in the market,
for this last season will total about
$500. .O0C tons. This crop Is beng
sold at about 81 cents pound tol
raws in that country or about 3.3o
cents pound duty paid iii this coun-
! try,
! THE Louisiana crop will DC about
| 267,OOO tons The raws are quoted
at S.35 cents 2 pound or the same as
the Cubas after duty IS paid The
| production ir 1926 was about 16O ,.
900 tons, IN 1919 It was III ,OoSs
tons. The war time crop OF l9le
reached 28O,0OC tons or Just i3,0oI
tons create. than The crop this last
season.
"Whiie the production Of 1921 ma;
been 60 per cent greater than tna'
of 1920, the acreage was only - PEI
cent greater and reached 2o9 ,oo'
acres
"Syrup and 3noiasses productlol
was likewise the greatest since tn
I1e18 war crop. More than 7,OO0,0O'
gallons has been or will be producet
| before the harvesting season is over
Last year the production was 4.6U0'
900 gallons,
"One Of the big factors this las
season in making the lot of the su
gar planter easier mas been the zoos
ening up Of credits and government
support which is enabling him tt
hold 2 portion Of his production TO
better levels. The planters. as rule
will nave to wait another year, TO be
cir the payment of the debts Whlcl
they accumulated in producing In
crop IN 1920.
! due to the large crop OF 5uga
over the world in general, the carr
months Of 1922 seem to hold fe'
promises for the. planter, but 3
world trade relations ani: tho ~

No geological survey of the state
has eve" been made. The Federal
Geological Survey has done some
work in the stater but nothing COM
prehen2ivc ever attempted. Recent
ly, since the report Of engineers of
the Federal Bureau of Mines, show
ing the Monroe gas field to be the
greatest of any discovered, wide,
spread demand has developed for a
geological survey of the state The
motive behind this demand is to as
certain what Louisiana has n the
way Of mineral resources for manu-
featuring purposes in conjunction
with natural gas.
Louisiana has oil ana gas fields,
sulphur. salt and Ignite mines, and
gravel pits, all of (which have been
exploited with great financial sue
ce&s, and many people believe that
the state has other minerals of COM
merciai value There are vast de.
posits of clay which it is believed

will be the duty Of the geologist tc

| products and have them tested sc
as to determine Their value.
