The scale insects have again made
their appearance, but not in their usual
strong force. We had hoped that we
were once more free from this de-
structive insect, and our orange grow
ers could again feel safe in directing
their time and. attention toward the
orange culture. Mr.. C. Barbe informed
us few days ago that these loathsome
insects had made their appearance in a
orchard. This led us to a
investigation which served to
confirm Mr.. Barbc's report, and that
they were also in other orchards in
town.

Letter from Grand Cheniere.

GRAND CHESrERE, Aug. 8, 1881.
Editor Lake Charles Echo:
We have had several refreshing
showers in the past two weeks, which
have been great benefit to the stock
and growing vegetation of our parish.
The cotton crop is generally promising
throughout the parish, and cotton pick
ing has commenced in good earnest,
and if the cotton worm continues to
keep off there will be full crop made.
The corn crop will be cut short on
account of the drouth; not more than
half crop is expected. The cane
crop in this section of the parish will
be total failure; there will not be
enough made even for seed for another
year. The orange crop will also be a
failure. PETER.
