Clear - warm.  No rain.  Went to Riverton in morning.  Chimney 55 feet high.  Now working on brick work inside.  Stalks of cane from Donaldson with 9 joints - 5 red. 
Drove in afternoon through back crops of Clark and Conway and part of Orange Grove.  The Clark cane much of it very indifferent.  Conway crop is the best in these 5 places.
