is 46 good, it is said, as t thc best
cane produced in Louisiana.
The efforts of Commissioner Ste
vens and his able assistant. Colo
nel A. F. Wrighti in advocating
the general production of sugar
cane, have just begun, and when
all the figures showing the - extent
of the present production are in un
address will be issued, giving the
views of the department 1 and its
recommendation.
By inducing Jhc planters of
Georgia tq put so ninny acres in
sugar cane the department can then
arrive at the number of sugar and
%inip mills that will be needed, as
well as the capacity of each mill.'
