Forty Acres in
Cuban Cane

H. K. Sigh is putting forty acres
out in Cuban cane on his farm on the
Dixie Highway and expects to install
a steam plant in time to take care of
the crop this fall Under favorable
seasons Mr.. Slight should make ten
to fifteen thousand gallons of syrup
from this acreage. One feature of
the crop which will be watched with
interest by other farmers, revolves
itself around the fact that this par
ticular cane will reseed itself, and
requires replanting only every eight
wears
