BULLETIN No. 25.]
The weather conditions during
past seven DAYS were generally ia
vorable to all crops, to cotton pick
ing and rice cutting. A few heavy
showers are reported. but generally
there was a deficiency in the rain
fall Of all sections, notably in Bien-
vile parish where the lack of rain is
assuming the form of a drouth and
where rain is badly needed. Some
few correspondents in the southern
section report that rain would be
beneficial to crops in their respet
tive localities. There was an average
fall cf tw- tenths Of an inch in the
northern portion of the State and
eight tenths of an inch 10 the south
ern portion. A daily deficiency of
three degrees is noted in the tenn
perature of the northern parishes
and one degree in the southern par
ishes. The amount of sunshine re-
ceived was generally in excess of an
average amount, and was modified
by the deficiency in the temperature.
Reports received indicate that
present prospects for cotton con-
tinue favorable in Louisiana. The
poisoning is a success in the MAORI
ty of parishes and excepting in few
sections IN the northern portion of
the State Experiment Station at
Calhoun anl Liberty HilD where it is
reported that bolf and cotton worms
are doing marked damage, the dam
age from the past is reported as
slight. From VIM parish it is re-
ported that unless the work of
poisoning is pushed forward rapidly

Our readers will remember that
some days ago We published sensa-
tonal Geographic report from Ala
bama that three religion-crazed ne
groes had, in emulation of the ex-
ample of Shadrack, Meshatsh and
Abednego, deliberately walked into a
fiery pig iron furnace and were Gre
mated. Reports now come from Bir-
lningham to the effect that the story
was all hoax, the production of the
fertile imagination of some newspaper
reporter Who wanted to see how big q
sensation he could create. Such Sc
porters should be summarily bounced
both for the deception practiced and
the alarm that is unnecessarily Gre
ated in the public mind.-Natchez
Democrat.
We also published the report. It
was 10 much like the acts of the su-
perstitious darky that We were in
clined to credit the story.
