The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter
was in a sarcastic mood last week, wor
ried, doubtless, by the close proximity
of the flood which threatens to engulf
it. Hear il:
The Police Jury of st. Landry have
adopted an ordinance imposing tax on
rice threshers. While the honorable
Police Jury of that parish is in the
mood, we would respectfully suggest
that they also tax plows, harrows,
spades, hoes, etc. Our agricultural in
dustries (particnlarly rice) are in an ex-
tremely fiattering condition just now, !,
the recent cold snap having stimulated
the growth of cane. fruit, ETC., while
there is strong possibility of ample
irrigation from the Mississippi for all
crops produced in this State. Yes, by
all means, levy direct tax on every
implement used in agriculture perhaps
the profits of farming, already an ex-
ceedingly lucrative vocation, will lie
thereby increased.
