Sugar Harvest

Though the showers over the past few days have slightly affected operations in the canefields the sugar harvest is proceeding apace in the Hambledon area.. A mishap in the mill caused a couple of days’ delay in the Hambledon Mill last week, but it is expected that the crushing season will end in about a fortnight.
