Went to upper places.  Called on poor Mrs. Buckner.  New Hope will have by tomorrow night about 780,000 lbs. ground and 30 acres remaining.  Ascension 630,000 lbs. ground.  Riverton finished the 11th and has 563,000 lbs. for crop.  This is pretty good considering the season and that almost all cane was on black land.
