STATE DEPARTMENT OF AC.
RICULTURE.

Commissioner T. ]. Bird Is out
with his report on the acreage and
yield Of the principal crops Of this
state for the year 1889. He reports
l76, $40 acres under cultivation in
sugar cane, and POS, 26O hogsheads
OF sugar produced. He reports the
production Of over thirteen millions
Of gallons of molasses.
Notable among the parishes pro-
ducing molasses are quite . num-
Der that have not figured in our
markets, but which are producing
such large amounts and find the in
dustry 50 much more satisfactory
than most other cultures, that they
are sure to increase their output.
and will, doubtless, arrange to sell
to local central factories for manu-
facture into sugar, or sell in this
market for the same purpose.

married on the 25th Of April last

the entire community, and universal
sympathy is expressed for his be-
reaved young widow and the menu

His funeral will take place at 10

CURE FOR THE BLUES.

No man is 90 miserable but wha
he may find some one poorer an,
more comfortless. "SOmetimes
when am blue and feel deserted
I am pleased to call to mind" said .
Lisbon street wholesaler, Saturday,
''the day that l learned q practical
lesson, and it was not very long ago
either. l was feeling awful blu,

gallons.
These parishes, comparatively
unknown as cultivators of sugar
cane, are thus shown to produce
some 4OO, 900 gallons of molasses or
syrup worth at least 1925, 900. This
is but the beginning, and now.
thanks to Commissioner Bird and
his department, thanks to our
sugar experiment station and to
Dr. Stubs, the white light of
science is now shining on the Lou
isiana sugar industry, and there
will be an enormous growth Of it in
every quarter.
Every parish in Louisiana can
probably produce syrup from
sugar cane and find q market for it
in New Orleans. Our local sugar
refineries are glad to buy it, to re-
fine it at once into high grade sugar,
and there would be . market for
hundreds Of times the present pro-
ducti0n.
Commissioner Bird reports sew
enty seven thousand acres of land
in rice culture, and the total cror
as sixty-three millions Of pounds Of
clean rice. Presuming that every
hundred pounds of clean rice repre-
sents one barrel Of rough rice, we
should have from this data G33, 800
barrels Of rough rice As the crop Of
1SS9.-Louisiana Sugar Planter.
The Commissioner then proceeds
to give; the acreage and yield by
parishes, but St. Tammany parish
Is not mentioned in the list, which |
shows that his figures are not en-
tirely correct, as the rice industry
IS steadily growing and important
one here, and We ship many hun
areds Of barrels Of rice to the city |
every year.

THE LIGHT OF TYPE.

OF all the investigations and dis
coveEies made within the period o
recorded history, the art Of printing
stands first in value as q factor anG
al agent of civilization and enlight.
eminent. No product Of art OF
science Of ancient or modern date
can be compared to the magic mirror
called newspaper which reflects
the business and movements of men,
and records every day the incidents
and conditions all over the whole
world.
Steam and electricity are but the
servants and messengers Of the
printing press, and seem to have
come with their forces in obedience
to the summons of the greater
power that demand their services.
The ''Power Of the Press" is q
trite expression, yet few who have
used or heard the phrase have ever
considered its full meaning, or the
fact it involves. Printed matter, in
all shapes and forms, and for an in-
finite variety Of purposes, has be-
come SO common that We regard it
as though 1t must have always been
like the sun and the stars in the
skies; and yet the world was in
darkess many centuries without it.
Thus it passed thousands Of sunless
and starless years, and the wonder
now is how it blundered through
them into the universal light and
knowledge cast upon it by thought
illumined type, and disseminated by
the printing press.
Common, everyday things are
liable to be undervalued, and it is
proper, occasionally, to remind peo-
pie Of the richness of the treasures
they possess, and point out the
from which their blessings
low. Let no one who can read
forget the great and permanent
good conferred upon the world by
he light of type; and let those who
cannot read speedily acquire this
simple accomplishment, and thus
i'll their lives with increased pleas
Ire, interest and usefulness, . hun
lred fold.
The sun shines for all, and the
lext grandest luminary-the print
ng press-is prolific enough of
light to scatter the darkness of igno-
ance to earth's remotest caverns

St. Martinsville Messenger, Jan.
IL: Rev. Father Lavaquery, who

parish, and left here Monday to

labor. We are pleased to see the
reverend father promoted, but We
are sorry to part with him. Father
Lavaquery was not liked here by a
few, because he was . frank and

NO DANGER FOR SUGAR.

The Sugar men of Louisiana are
wrestling with the tariff smashers
Of the ways and means committee.
As the contest progresses it appears
that the sugar champions will pre-
vail.
The committee is told by well in
formed and reliable witnesses that,
although domestic sugar cannot at
present supply the home market,
with favorable or even neutral leg
islation the home supply will in the
near future adequately satisfy the
home demand. As this DESTROYS
the flimsy excuses advanced by the
Republicans for the reduction or
abolition OF the sugar duties, the
planters Of Louisiana, Kansas and
California may quiet whatever ap-
prehensi0ns the hostile attitude of
the party may have aroused.
Neither is there any indications that
for the present protective tariff
there will be substituted . deceptive
and temporary bounty. The sugar
delegation emphatically and abso-
lutely refuse to consider the accept
ance Of any subsidy, and the COM
mittee is not disposed to arbitrarily
force it upon the sugar producers.

WHERE THE WEATHER Is
SEVERE.


The severe weather of the present
winter has been confined almost
wholly to the other side Of the
Rocky Mountains. While the mild
ness Of the winter throughout the
North and West has been unprece-
denied, the Pacific coast has en-
joyed hyperborean weather, such
that it has not known since 1852.
The stories from California, of
whose climate the native is wont to
boast, almost surpass belief. We
have been told something of the
heavy snowfall which has interrupt
ed travel for nearly two weeks, but
not all. The snow is reported sixty
feet deep in some places. At Ne
vada City houses have be been
crushed to pieces by its weight and
bridges torn down by it. As q di-
rect result of the weather, trains
have been stopped, mails delayed
and business generally suspended /;
and in many cases towns have been
cut OF from all communication with
the rest Of the world for days at o.
time.
Such has been the condition of
affairs for nearly two weeks. The
situation has been made worse by q
blizzard which has recently swept
over the northern portion of the
Pacific coast, particularly Washing
ton, and has already cost number
of lives and the destruction of
many cattle. Pacific cattlemen, in
deed, estimate that they will lose
half their herds this year.
The suffering on the Pacific is all |
the more intense because the Cali |
fOrnians have insisted that their |
was 50 mild and summary
that fireplaces were unnecessary.
Some Of the houses were without
any fireplaces whatever, and nearly
al are short Of these necessities.
When two winters ago the thermom-
eter fell to thirteen degrees in the
southern part Of California IN at
tempt was made to convince the
of tourists who went there
o escape the rigors Of . northern
lime that it was not really cold.
