Crops.

We have met many farmers and piant-
ers from different parts of st. Landry,
and they complain of the tardiness with
which they are gathering their cotton
crops.
Everyone tells us that, he has been
greatly troubled by the indifference of
their laborers to the necessities of their
situations. That large quantities of
cotton are yet open in the fields and
that they cannot get the laborers to
exert themselves. They do but little, if
any work on Saturdays, notwitIIstand-
ing they see the cotton open. Some of
the planters arc offering very high
wages, but it cannot secure services on
Saturdays. The more the labOrers earn
during the five first days of the week,
the more anxious they are to get in town
and spend it on the sixth day.
The sugar planters are not quite so
much annoyed, but they too. are often
short of hands. We understand the
yield of the cane is very fiue. The rice
crops are all in, aud taken altogether,
the yield has been good. Severe colds
prevail generally, and some fever is re-
ported. 1t yields readily to treatment.
