Clear - very warm - 94 degrees at 2:00 P.M. Warmest day so far - fine for the cane, which looks well and is growing rapidly. Went to Riverton sugar house and over a good deal of crop. Fall cane shows as good a stand, I think, as the cane generally at Ascension, which Mr. Turcuit says is as thick as he wants it. Went to Orange Grove sugar house where they will commence laying brick foundation for new vacuum pan, this afternoon.
Railroad began to extend embankment across main road from sugar house to river. Mr. Lawless stopped them. This is contrary to agreement and I must see railroad officials at one about it.
