From al sections Of orr parish
come the most Aattering accounts Of
thserOps. An unusually large amount
Of corn win be made in Calcasieu this
year, together with an abundance of
sweet potatoes and peas, which will
enable our people to eurtail their house
hold expenses considerably during the
winter season, as the greatest curse to
the small farmer as well as the large,
is having 10 purchase everything con-
sumed, thereby keeping continually ia
debt and never having a dollar which
he can call his own. As to rice, as
well as everything else, it seems as
though this will be the banner year for
Calcasien, and she will astonish the
Oldest inliabitant by the largest yield
ever harvested within her borders.

MI J. B. Watkins is putting up
a telephone line from Lake Charles TO
Leesburg, Cameron parish, distance
of about SO miles, by way of the line.
This line will pass the rice farm and
prove to be quite an important link in
the systematic chain of Mr.. Watkins
extensive operations. He is also push
ing ahead with fence-making, and the
wires will soon encompass perhaps
the largest pasture or ranch In this
State. With the improvement of the
stock BY cross breeding with estab-
lished and well known breeds, we
expect in the near future to have in
our midst one Of the finest stock farms
in the world, uneKeelled even by the
famous blue grass regions Of Ken
lucky. Stock raising in this parish
has proven TO be remuneratiye bust
ness, even when carried on in the old
fashioned slip shod way of doing bust
ness, and with proper attention the
proftableRess Of this enterprise can
be greatly increased.
