Farmers bereabouts are busy with
their spring work. From our obser-
walton we think there will be an in
creased acreage of cotton planted
throughout the middle and southern
portion of the parish.
Considerable oats and wheat have
been sown, and the tendency towards
raising hogs and finer blooded cattle
causes the writer to hope for a brlgh-

creased acreage in cotton, and the
prospect of the feecy staple selling
next season at 5 and 6 cents per
pound.
Several farmers near here have
plenty of corn to sell. Uncle Cape
Mccoy tells us that he can spare five
hundred bushels. With plenty of
corn and bacon among our farmer
friends there need be no apprehen-
