Sugar Making in Louisiana. The people occupying the sugar belt in Louisiana differ among themselves in many ways. Class lines are closely drawn. First the sugar planter, the owner of the plantation, the managers and overseers who have control of the laboring force; the "eagens" or the descendants of the Arcadians, and finally the "Dagoes?" and Italians, and the negroes, who do all the manual labor on the place. There are few schools; the French language predominates and the Catholic religion has a strong hold on the people.
The plantations are low and slope gently back from the river to the swamps. Ditches from four to ten feet deep are dug in order to drain the fields as soon as possible after the heavy rains. The sugar cane produces no seed and is propagated by planting the cane stalk itself, a shoot starting up at each joint. There are generally three crops harvested in as many years, then the roots are plowed under, the land allowed to rest one year and the process began again. It is a very expensive way of planting $30.00 being the average cost to plant one acre.
The sugar houses are long, low buildings with tall chimneys, located many times in the center of the plantation. There are two kinds, the "Open Kettle" and the "Centrifugal," the former being the old fashion way, the latter the new fashion. In both the cane is carried to the rollers by means of a revolving "feeder" and there crushed. It is then boiled in tanks with steam coils in the bottom until the water is nearly all evaporated and only the sugar and molasses, or "masse cuite" is left. In the "Open Kettle" house this masse cuite is placed in barrels with holes in the bottom and the molasses drained out. In the "Centrifugal house, a wire basket made to revolve very rapidly is used. This new invention has changed sugar making a great deal and in a few years the "Open Kettle" house will disappear.
At the present time each planter owes a sugar house and operates it himself. This is a combination or two distinct branches of industry and each year it is becoming more evident that they must be separated. The feeling among the leading sugar raisers seems to be that the erection of large sugar factories at different points along the Mississippi river where sugar can be made at nearly half the cost will be the solution of the problem. The planter will continue to raise cane but will sell to these central factories.
