Cane Crop Poor.
The Progress man has inter
viewed many farmers during the
week relative to the condition of
sugar cane crop.
It is almost the unanimous
opinion that the crop is very
poor. Some say there will not
b 3 more than a half crop and
others say two-thirds of a crop.
It is believed that on account
of the crop conditions syrup will
bring a good price this season.,
