Sugar can harvest in a field on the outskirts of the city Clewiston (sugar capital [capitol] of Florida) on the southwest shores of lake Okeechobee. Florida cane fields are burned when ready for cutting to strip the leaves from the cane stalks. A designated area is fired and carefully watched until the leaves are gone and the fire dead. Then, as here, the cutters go into action with swift strokes of their long, sharp knives known as machetes hacking down the cane. in the background can be seen the cane which will later come into action scooping up the cut cane in great bundles into tractor driven trains of caterpillar-treaded carts. The trains of carts go to the railroad about a mile away and the cane is again transferred to open freight cars which later take the lot to the Clewiston sugar mill of the United States Sugar Corporation about two or three miles distant. Here it is crushed and processed into crude (brown) sugar.
