              <text>&lt;p align="left"&gt;PROSPECTS FOR THE NEW SUGAR CROP.--At a meeting of the Louisiana Agricultural Society, held recently, a paper was read from Judge Post, President of the Society, in which he informs the Society that the future prospects of the sugar interest in Louisiana have undergone an unexpected and highly favorable change. -&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;Nat. Intell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;xsl-text&gt;&lt;/xsl-text&gt;&lt;/i&gt;"The cane has of late years been subject to a variety of diseases, including a borer worm, an insect often found in the West Indies, but until lately unknown in Louisiana. The severe cold of last winter, while it nearly destroyed the crop on hand, also destroyed that mischievous insect and the other causes of disease, whatever they are. An unusual breadth of land has been planted this year, and, with anything like a fair season, in his opinion, an average crop will surely be made."&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="left"&gt;If the friends of free sugar persist in their agitation, we should not wonder if the sugar planters should quit complaining altogether, and find out that the cane was never healthier, the season better, the extent of planting greater, the prospect brighter. Really, it is time to have done with such trifling.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
