A Hurricane.

Yesterday at l 30 p. H., a hurri-
cane swept over this parish doing
a great deal of damage. 1t is i'm
possible to learn the extent of the
injury to life and property up to
the hour of our going to press.
Here in Houma, the damage to
property is considerable. A num-
her of houses were blown down
and fruit trees laid low. A new
church lately built by the negroes
of Houma is a complete wreck.
When the storm made its appear
ance the church was crowded with
school children and how it is that
no one received serious injuries is
a mystery to all who have viewed
the ruins. Several of the children
were painfully although not ia
tally injured by the falling tim
bers.
From accounts from the country
Houma must have escaped the
main path of the storm the bulk
of the damage being in the coun-
try lying between this point and

in its cost, so excellent in its re-
suits, and SO generally beneficial
all around for our Louisiana lands
as a crop Of field peas grown there
on. The pea crop in the southern
states is reported quite large this
season, and prices in New Or
leans are lower than for many
years. We have thus an excep-
tional opportunity to obtain cheap
supplies of our best fertilizer. If
five times the amount of peas were
planted in Louisiana than are
planted, the general condition of
our lands would be greatly impro-
we'd. While it seems paradoxical,
yet 1t is recognized fact that if
peas be grown upon our lands and
then removed for hay, our lands
still receive nearly as much bene-
fit as though the pea crop were
ploughed under. The recent
scientific Investigations which have
revealed the capacity of such lu-
guminous plants as field peas, the
various clovers, ETC., to accumulate
nitrogen in the soil, the work of
parasites on the roots of the plants,
now account theoretically for the
long established practical truth,
the lands are much improved for
general cultivation after the pro-
duction of luguminous crops.
The trouble with pea planting
in Louisiana has always been that
our lands in the southern part of
the state at least, are only moder-
ately we'll adapted to corn culture.
Corn has not been considered
standard crop, and there has been
more or less hesitation about omit
ting the cane culture for the year
necessary for the production of
crop thereon. With the produc-
ton of corn the production of
pea crop comes as an easy sequ-
ence. The preparation of the land
and the cultivation of the corn
crop places the land in better
for the production of the
peas that could we'll be reached

is well AS cane, seems to flourish {
