The picture above was taken near Woodville, Wilkinson County." Bottom left: "Near Montecello, Lawrence County is the old fashioned cane mill shown above. Note the open pan 'cooker' (evaporator) where the pressed cane juice is boiled down to the proper consistency for commercial cane syrup, which is put into cans for the market." Bottom right: "From Walthal County, near Tylertown, where this picture was made, comes much of Mississippi's famous sugar cane syrup whose market is eventually all the states in the U.S.A. Growing sugar cane is one of Mississippi's chief agricultural and industrial pursuits."
