SUGAR SEASON. HAMBLEDON MILL. CUTTING COMMENCED.

With the best part of 400 cutters signed on, the sugar season in the Hambledon (C.S.R.) mill area will be in full swing by the end of the week. Some of the cutters started on Tuesday to give the mill a supply to test its machinery. More cutters began yesterday and the mill will commence its crushing to-day. The remainder of the cutters will have begun work by Monday- next.
